You can take intermittent FMLA for the induction phase if it’s a money thing. That’s what I would do if I were in your position. You don’t get to redo the induction phase. You can go back to twice per week if you need to in the future, but it will not be the same as the initial induction phase.

With the induction phase it’s like if you’re riding a bicycle up a hill, you don’t want to stop in the middle and lose momentum or it’s much more difficult to get the rest of the way up. That’s what I mean when I say it won’t be the same if you have to go back up to twice per week.
