Hi Kim,
I agree with you about the nurse!!! What a way to begin your treatment. Although I have hated hearing it cause it made me jealous, I have heard of many couples who do get pregnant on their first cycle. Why would they do it if there wasn't a chance of success? There is enough anxiety and stress with undergoing a new treatment without someone telling you there isnt much point. I dont like confrontation much myself but I would definately think of saying something to her or the clinic as it could save somone else the same upset you have had. BTW, I have had several goes at ICSI and have found all the nursing staff to be fantastic everytime so I think if you had any bad luck youv'e got it out of the way already with that nurse!
Good luck with everything. I am coming back to ICSI after a 6year break so it will be like the first time again for me but I'm going to be starting a little while after you.
Hope all goes well first time!!!!!!!!
