came out of the closet.

So I decided it was time to "come out" to my office mate.  We share an office, so there is literally no privacy.  I've already had to make a few calls here and there regarding our upcoming IUI and knew it was going to be way too hard to time all my calls to the clinic around when she was in/out of our office.

She was really sweet about it though.  When I first asked her if she can keep a secret, she said "OMG, are you pregnant?!"  I said no, but that we were trying and have to go the fertility treatment route.  She apologized and said she had friends that had to go through IVF.  I told her that may be coming up for us in April.  

I went on to warn her that if I am a raging bitch or a sobbing mess any random day of the week, not to be alarmed.  It's completely normal.  Ha!

So now I'm trying to decide if I should come out to my boss as well.  He already knows I'm having "medical procedures" sometime at the end of Feb.  And that I won't be able to travel because of it.  He asked if it was "serious" and I told him no.  So I'm thinking that should suffice for the upcoming IUI.  

But should I plan to come out to him if we do IVF in April?  Obviously it will be much more complicated then.  With more appointments, more monitoring, time off for the ER and ET.  I just don't know...

  1. I don't know if you need to--I have been an egg donor several times, but as you know the bulk of the appointments are early in the day. Retrieval day and time after implantation will obviously be sick days, but take it a day at a time, and if you think that you're at a point that you need to come out to the boss, then go for it. But at this point, you might not need to. Good luck!
