Getting the Most Out of Each Visit to the Infertility Clinic

Highlights from March 31, 2010 Creating a Family radio show

What should you expect when you go to an infertility clinic? How can you make the most of each visit? Join our panel of head nurses at three of the leading infertility clinics in the US. Infertility nurses are, in my not so humble opinion, the unsung heroes of infertility treatment.

 

  • How do infertility patients get a feel for the infertility nurses at an infertility clinic they are considering?

  • Do most clinics have the same nurse assigned to work with the same patients?

  • Is there an optimal time in a woman’s ovulatory cycle to schedule the first appointment with an IF doctor because of necessary testing that needs to be done at a specific time in the cycle?

  • What’s the best way to handle your questions for your infertility doctor?

  • How should you handle after hours questions?

  • How to read and evaluate the CDC and SART statistics on infertility clinics?

  • What’s the difference between an infertility nurse, an infertility nurse practitioner, and a physician’s assistant?

  • Suggestions for a woman who is afraid of needles but needs infertility treatment.

  • How to find an infertility clinic that is friendly and receptive towards single woman and same sex couples.

  • How can you save money with infertility treatment?

What do listeners say?

I wanted to thank you for all of the wonderful things you do. We brought our beautiful baby boy home from the hospital on April 2nd. While we waited for an adoption match and then waited for his birth, your podcast and website were a continuous reminder that we were part of an amazing adoption community. It really helped us not feel alone.  ~Sarah S.

I listen to your radio shows daily on my iPod while cleaning, exercising, driving etc. I've learned so much from it, that today in the foster- adopt support group I felt like an all knowing expert, despite the fact, that I have zero experience in the field. Thank you for a wonderful resource! I am spreading the word. ~G. Longley

Thank you so much for your radio show! I was just listening to it, and it's very informative. My husband and I are in the process of adoption, so we read a lot to be able to make informed decisions. Your website is a great resource for us! ~N.M.W.

“I learned more from this show than from two Reproductive Endocrinologist and all my own research. I appreciate the professionals you have on your show.” ~ L. Upton

thank you for doing such a good job and conducting such brilliant interviews!!!...more   ~G. Marino

Although you don't know us from Adam, I wanted to drop a line and thank you for the amazing info, sound advice, and encouragement you offer to adoptive and prospective adoptive parents.  We just received our pre-approval for our daughter, W, from China!  You (in book, website, blog, and podcast form) have been there every step of the way in this journey.  ~ J. & C. Morningstar

I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I love your show. I recently got an iPhone and have been listening to them on iTunes. Your "What Adopted Teens Want Their Parents to Know" session was amazing!!!          ~A. Watson

My husband and I are parents through adoption to THE three most incredible children in the world. All via newborn domestic transracial.  I wanted to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed and benefitted from your web site.  I often refer potential adoptive parents who ask me for advice to your site. I especially enjoy your radio shows and today’s show on "Knowing When to Move from Infertility to Adoption" particularly resonated with me. ~N. Ferrari

I have loved, loved this radio show. It has been hands down the most helpful resource on this often painful and confusing journey. ~ R. Butler

I just wanted to share my story since Creating a Family pod casts were so helpful to me when I was infertile.

Mendenhall
