One third of the people who are undergoing fertility treatment do not confide in their employers about the treatment because they are apprehensive about the repercussions .In a survey carried out by the Infertility Network of the UK on approximately 300 patients, it was observed that the patients were worried about not being able to gain the sympathy of their bosses. The survey, done for National Infertility Day, revealed that although the majority of people confide in their employers , 29% felt they could not discuss the subject with them.
The other reasons for not telling employers include worries about colleagues finding out, and a feeling that their infertility problem was a very private matter. One in seven couples in the UK experience fertility problems.
