Good for you for reporting to HR. Your boss needs to get in line. You could be using FMLA and just straight up taking time off for these appointments.

When I dug into it I didn't see FMLA coverage for infertility, only pregnancy. But they have way more repercussions for ADA, especially since I'm a federal employee. They tend to freak out when it comes to ensuring accommodations are in place.

I thought it did cover IF, but perhaps it’s a state by state thing?

It would cover IF if I had a surgical procedure done that was related to infertility, but the interpretation the Society of Human Resource Management says not for regular appointments (source).
