Melodi,
Thanks alot.. 1 more week to go..
Fatefully / Tanny,
Juz to share..
I work in a highly stressful environment, serving corporate clients, across diff time zones... Every day is like gg to war.. I work long hours like til midnite or beyond, & smtimes for consecutive days..
Aft ttc for 2 yrs w/o finding any known cause of infertility, stress seems to b the reason.. Whn I decided to go thru ivf, I concluded tt there is no way I m gg to jeopardise my ivf cycle with my current working lifestyle.. & I can't imagine the stress of rushing betw scans & work..
So, I applied for 2 weeks leave bef I went on my 2 weeks hl.. Aft my BT, I intend to rest for another 1 week or so.. There is no way I can b absent for 5 weeks w/o giving my immediate boss a valid reason.. Hence, I oni told her tt I m gg thru ivf..
I was prepared for the worst, tt she ll not allow me to go on such long leave.. & I was prepared to sacrifice my career.. I don't wish to look back 5 yrs later, swearing @ myself for not putting ttc as top priority..
I very agree with the auntie colleagues of RitzC.. Look @ ur priorities now.. In life, we smtimes can't hv all.. We hv to make sacrifices. & the time has come to decide which option is having a more impt position in ur heart..
I m not encouraging resignations.. But I feel tt we shld not let work stress get into the way of our quest to b mummies.. Jiayou..
Juz my 2 cents worth..
