Suellen- I am a teacher too (elementary gifted). When we were doing our IUIs, I had a principal who was soooo supportive. I was totally honest with him and told him I would be missing for monitoring, etc. I made early morning appointments and would come in late and he provided coverage. When I did my IVF cycle last November, my new principal wasn't quite as supportive. She made me take 1/2 days for appointments and I ended up missing like 5 or 6 days during that cycle. Luckily, my last FET cycle was during the summer, so that did help. I'm sure I'll have to take 1/2 days for my OB appointments though b/c I still have the same principal.

I also have had experience with lots of pregnant people at work. I had to stop eating in the lounge some days because the 8 pregnant teachers last year at one of my buildings would only talk about that!

I'm glad you're good to go this cycle. Good luck!
