Ok here's a poll : What do you think you would want from the nurses at your IVF clinic ?
What would you expect from your doctor ?
What have they done that you have liked ?
What have you disliked ?
OK I'll start... I'd like my nurse to look understanding and compassionate even if she doesn't. Sympathy Sympathy Sympathy. My ER hurt hurt hurt and all I wanted was Sympathy. The nurses at my clinic were very nice and even on the phone they were very supportive. I wished when I had my 5 IUIs that someone would have called from the office just to see if I was ok. Heck I had my dentist call me after a "cap"......
The doctor - I love the one I have now because he is funny, and he relaxes me. He doesn't get all caught up on all the legistics of it all, he makes IVF feel like a walk in the park. I think doctors could act a little less rushed. I like how my doc gave me his home phone # the day after ER -- nice touch.
I liked how some of the nurses touched my hand when I was having a procedure. When I had my Hsg (hurt hurt hurt) I like how the nurse told me it was going to "hurt" and held my hand and said supportive things.....
