Dee, the bulk of my contact is with the nurses - i honestly see my FS as just the figurehead that says which protocol, what drug strength, and then hands you off to the nurse for pretty much everything else. I see him at egg pick up, transfer, and appointments about "what's next", while i have dealings with the nurses for everything else

the nurses hand out the meds, tell you when to do what, they call you with updates on results (BT's and U/S), the nurse or embryologists call with fertilisation results and progress, book all appointments....

i would think having a FS you respect is important - sometimes their "bedside" manner is a bit gruff, and i know of some people who find their doctor as a person unappealling, but as a doctor, they have huge respect for his skills, so continue to see him as their specialist

hope that helps...
