IVF Nurse???

amcastord

So I just got the emails with tentative calendar/protocol and med list. Great, now I can start getting busy filling my mind with prices. Something that caught my attention IMMEDIATELY, however, was that my "IVF Nurse" is actually just a "Certified Medical Assistant"...says so in her email signature.  This is fine, right? Not a big deal because she's only relaying to me what the actual doc says, right? She's simply the middle man, right? I'm not sure why I'm so bothered by this...I mean, I worked acute care for the last five years and I'm sure I ran across some people in other areas of the hospital that knew as much as some of our nurses.

This isn't something to get hung up on, right? lol...as you can see, I'm kind of already hung up on it...

So that's the good news for the day, we have a starting place. The bad news? Our fur baby got out of the yard and so far, hasn't come home or we haven't found him. So sad about that

Ok...thanks for listening and hopefully you'll have some words of encouragement for this CMA v. RN drama I'm creating...

Thats terrible about your fur baby. Im so sorry. I wouldnt worry about the cma vs rn unless she gives you a reason. It is definitely a reasonable doubt. But, maybe she is great?!? I would def monitor what she allowed to doo though. Not like a stalker, just to make sure I feel safe! hope your day gets better.

I'm so sorry about your fur baby. I hope he wanders home after he has his adventure! At my clinic, the IVF team meets weekly to get people's schedules set up. So, if your practice does this (and let's assume they do for your sanity's sake!!) then, the cma would know what was going on, right?? I'm sure she's just relaying info from your RE! You could always ask your RE at one of your early appointments. Maybe that will help set your mind at ease?

I hope your fur baby comes home!!!!

As far as the nurse thing, see if your RE lets you email him/her. Mine does, and it's awesome because I feel like any questions can go directly to him. Not that the nurse isn't awesome- she totally is. It just might give you some piece of mind.

Thanks! You've all eased my mind about the CMA and, more importantly...my fur baby returned!!! Turns out, he was locked in the neighbors "building" all day. It was SOOOOO hot here today, but he was safe and not in danger of being hit or attacked by other dogs.

Aww. Poor baby. This update made me soooo happy. Im sad that he was hot but glad he is ok. I cannot imagine anything happening to my fur babies.

I love my furbabies on an unhealthy level.

Oh no fur baby!!!! Hope he comes home!!!!

I don't think I'd worry about the CMA the nurses I have only relay what the RE says anyways so I think you're ok with a CMA
