Yaaa, have to be away for 2 weeks is a difficult thing. Though my manager knows that im going for IVF but I don't intend to let other management knows about it. So its like have to tell a lie! So tiring!
U don’t have to take hl for your cycle. Going back to work free your mind from symptom spotting n stressing over it. It also depends how stressful is your job. I prefer going back to work to keep my mind off.
