The reality of IVF:

Becky Kearns was 27 and had just started a new job in human resources when she was diagnosed with early menopause.

The survey also found that two-thirds of workers wouldn't discuss fertility issues with their employers."It was just the incredible impact it had on my mental health that I found difficult to handle," Becky, now 33, explained."Many people don't speak about their struggles because they actually don't know they're going to get the support".

Lisa said she didn't feel the culture at the company allowed her to be open."There just wasn't the sense that you could have those really heart to heart conversations with your manager or with your team."Lisa had moved to LinkedIn when she had her third round of IVF. This time she decided to be completely open with her new bosses.

"You're nervous how that will be perceived by people because you don't want them thinking you're asking for an easy ride," she said.
