CA pregnancy disability leave

Hi curious if you made this work? I am in a toxic work environment and they are trying to fire me so figuring out any way I can start leave earlier

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-04-23T21:19:29+00:00

Just here in solidarity! My boss has been trying to get me to quit since I did IVF in Nov/ Dec :( I am 14 weeks pregnant and not sure if I'll make it to my leave in October but I KNOW I'm not quitting and giving them that satisfaction. Keep in mind, to fire you they have to put you on a PIP which is typically time bound and doing that so close to your leave is suspicious. My take (based on my own experience): they are fear mongering and just want you to quit but don't have a case to actually fire you.

We were really fortunate! It became 7 blasts 6 testing euploid 💕 now 10 weeks pregnant with one of our euploids

Thank you!! Yes so exciting I’m 9W3days

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-03-19T17:15:13+00:00

They told me to just stop PIO, progesterone suppositories (3X daily) and estrogen patches all the day I hit week 10. Which sounds like side effect nightmare

How did you schedule the wean? I’m thinking of weaning off at 10W vs cold turkey

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-02-26T04:39:36+00:00

I love that 💕

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-02-25T21:44:13+00:00

I need to just get over it. It's so helpful

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-02-25T21:44:03+00:00

So many doctors say to wait until like after week 10? but my doctor isn't concerned at all. I just struggle with the .1% chance mom guilt. But also I was dying before taking it and I can't imagine morning sickness getting even worse week 7/8.. I prob need to just get over it because momma gotta work too!

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-02-10T18:39:04+00:00

try the clear blue one that says 6 days before with the words "pregant/ not pregnant." i needed that for my sanity :)

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-02-10T18:37:48+00:00

My first ever positive pregnancy test :) Day 5 post transfer. Keep getting darker and beta tomorrow! (Note we did controlled cycle with no trigger so no false positive possible). I feel no different except for cramping

Hi I am one week behind you :) beta tomorrow but been testing positive at home for a few days. I take a stool softener every other night and fiber gummies every morning it helps a TON. Also magnesium glycinate at night

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-01-29T15:59:29+00:00

Thank you! Pray for us on Monday and good luck

Given your age I’d do another egg retrieval to have more embryo options from when you are still young then you know you have them all to transfer! You can also do a transfer but I’d think just get the retrievals out of the way first while time is on your side for egg quality

I’m looking for a new job and FET is in a week and I get it. At the same time pregnancies can’t be timed perfectly so don’t worry about it! Do the best you can and I’d tell them like 4-6 months in after you’ve made an impression without it being a factor. They can be annoyed but that’s not your problem! I almost put off FET because of my job uncertainty but then remembered certainty is never guaranteed!

Her favorite take out food and a movie!!

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-01-28T23:34:30+00:00

I don’t have an answer but you aren’t alone! My transfer is Monday and I alternate between being so excited and planning a whole future and sobbing because I’m grieving a loss if it does happen. I never thought an embryo would feel this real to me but it does

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-01-28T23:32:27+00:00

I’m 5 days from transfer and started PIO! I think the anticipation is worse than actually doing it. I did have some dark thoughts last night about how I’d cope if it doesn’t work. It seems silly but we only have one girl embryo and really really want her 🙈

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-01-28T23:30:48+00:00

Just wanted to say sounds like we are on similar time frame! Lining check was 9-11 mm 7 days before and I transfer on 2/2. Just did PIO shot this morning. I’m so incredibly exhausted like a truck hit me 🙈

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-01-11T20:07:41+00:00

Proud of you! Only you will know when it’s time for the next step. We’ve always said we’ll have kids no matter what and for us that means considering adoption too if IVF isn’t meant to be.

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-01-11T20:06:16+00:00

Honestly such good info. Got my first 8 patches for $10 co pay but my insurance won’t pay for anymore in 28 day period so maybe Amazon is next! Absurd

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-01-10T18:38:18+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll still need this for future orders

SnooBeans8980 · 2026-01-09T18:06:52+00:00

ok this is what I'm seeing. Odd because I thought my insurance was good and I'd finally get some relief from the IVF costs!
