Default What should you expect from your FS and nurses??

Hello all

My DH and I are doing IVF with PGD. We just completed our first cycle with a negative result.

I just wanted to get an idea as to what is a normal expectation from your FS people. I have seen my FS twice. Once was an introduction and the next to 'start things off' both meetings lasted no more than 15 mins. Since I started my cycle I have not heard anything at all from my FS - not even when I called my nurse to tell them I had my period. I have had four different nurses throughout the cycle at Monash. I was told that you have a 'specific' nurse throughout your cycle but get someone new every time....

Is this normal? I can't say that I have felt any support or consistency throughout this process - thank goodness for this place as I think I really would have no clue as to what is expected and what happens next. I didn't even get told that I possibly had a chemical pregnancy. (My acupuncturist had to explain it to me)

I finally got a call from my FS's receptionist on Friday who said as the Dr is going away I would be expected to wait untill she comes back before starting my next cycle...

Any feedback will be much appreciated!!
