Council workers who are undergoing IVF treatment will be given paid leave to deal with the "physical and emotional effects" under new plans going before Midlothian Council.
The additional support for employees who are trying to have a child will also be given to those whose partners are undergoing the fertility treatment.
The plans come as councillors are also asked to agree to commit to the Miscarriage Association's Pregnancy Related Pledge and provide paid leave to employees who suffer a miscarriage and their partners.
