For many women, infertility issues are difficult enough without having to worry about how their treatment schedule will affect work life. In this article from The Wall Street Journal, reporter Sue Shellenbarger talks to several women about how they handled the frequent absences and other workplace challenges caused by their fertility treatments. Shellenbarger also discusses recent changes in the law that offer women legal protection when it comes to taking time off work for fertility-related medical visits.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
