Hi Zara,
Everything depends what kind of job you do. I work in a tanning salon so that involves some stretching while cleaning beds or mopping at the end of the day. I took 2,5 weeks off but still need to speak with my manager that I’m not allowed to do some tasks (I’m 6dpo). Hope they will be understanding and I will just focus on the reception work.
I’m also studying at college so turned up there 5dpo for half day only but it was a bit too much for me I would say. So a week off definitely depending what’s your pain threshold and the BA method you’re going for. I had unders so it takes longer to recover and it’s a bit more painful (theoretically).
I found it so unpleasant and painful to travel by train 1dpo but going 5 hours by car today for my 6dpo check up wasn’t bad.
Maybe try to aim for some school break like Easter time for example?
