[QUOTE="Little My, post: 1567398, member: 154347"] Thanks for all your support. Update! I started the IVF meds and almost straight away I began to get nausea, headaches and my blood sugar was really erratic.I went into work on the Monday (day 4 on meds) and struggled all day.I went to see my GP first thing Tues and he signed me off work for 2 weeks and put on my sick note IVF as reason.My GP was lovely and reassured me the break from work would help me cope with the treatment.I am now in day 8 and my latest scan showed there are mature eggs in both my ovaries so things look like they are going in he right direction! My school have emailed me the new sickness and absence policy today (could be coincident) and after reading it I'm now I'm worrying that I won't get paid for my time off and may have a stage 1 back to work meeting due to my absence.I was also off work for 2 and half weeks with stress of teaching and medical issues in March this year.Before this my attendance has always been excellent and I have worked at the same school for 12 years. What are my rights as a diabetic employee? I know diabetes is classed as disability but both my absences have not stated on the GP sick notes that they are diabetes related.Although I feel if I didn't have the additional stress of keeping my blood sugars stable I may have coped better with things this year and maybe not needed as much time off. Has anyone else been in a similar position? Thanks for reading x [/QUOTE]
