Just a quick question. I am just about to start my first cycle of IVF, and have made an appointment to see the nurse for a "booking in" appointment. When I made the appointment, she mentioned that it would take about 1 to 1 and a half hours.
Just wondering what I can expect in this appointment. Should I take anything with me?
Also, when I was making the appointment, the nurse asked if I was doing "ewie" or something along those lines....... I have done a bit of ready on the topic, and have never heard of this. Does anyone have any idea what this may be? She mentioned that my Doctor would talk to me about it, but my next appointment isn't until the day after my appointment with the nurse!
With my 'booking in' appt, the nurse literally went through everything with me... what the meds are for, how to inject them, what happens in the lab, costs, filled out all of my paperwork etc etc.
It's pretty overwhelming, but everything starts to fall into place when you get home and can sit down and look through everything in your own time.
She also gave me my schedule, dates for all of my BT's and scans, EPU and transfer day.
You won't need to take anything with you, but you'll leave with a tonne of paperwork.
Ewie? Never heard of it I'm afraid. Could it have been 'icksee'? Which in IVF terms is 'ICSI' - where they inject the sperm into the egg.
Thanks guys!
On reflection, I suspect it probably was ICSI, which I am aware of, I just have never head it actually said before!! haha... No naive!!!!
I'm looking forwards to my appointment with the nurse, as it will be a great opportunity to ask more dumb questions!!!!
Thanks!!
