DH and I have decided on IVF, just can't decide when. Problem is my work schedule, though I only work 3 days a week, it varies every week, and I have to put in my requests about 5 to 6 weeks ahead of time. When we do IVF, it is going to require the day off for the egg retrieval and 48hours of bedrest after they transfer the embryo's back in. So, do I take a stab at timing and request vacation for when I think it might be, or do I just be "sick" those days. The only time I've ever called in sick in the 2 years I've been there was in May with one of our IUI's. I'm just one of those people that feel guilty when I'm not really sick.
Second question. I really want to do this as soon as I can, but we are moving in November. So, do you think I should just wait until the beginning of next year? Or just go ahead with it in Oct/Nov and let dh do all the moving. I just don't want any unnecessary stress while trying IVF.

My .2, go for it now... and call in sick later. Sick time is excusable by such things as this under my dh's poilicy... so let it be under your as well. :-)
And, don't worry about the packing. At this point I'm sure your DH would be MORE THAN HAPPY to do all the packing and moving, if that meant you were pg! I was 5 mos. pg. w/ #2 when we bought our house and moved in. DH just gathered all his guy friends and made a party out of it, offering beer and pizza! That'll get 'em every time! LOL!
GL! I really hope you guys have a lot of success with IVF.
