Snowpocalypse during IVF: WWYD?

Anasara

We're supposed to get a shitton of snow on Saturday.  While I'll be @ home, DH teaches a course @ a college apart from his normal university on Saturdays.  Living in New England I've never understood why everyone here seems to panic when we get the white stuff, but whatevs.

So I'm on the phone with DH a few min ago & he tells me he's already got an e-mail explaining contingency plans for weekend classes.  And then proceeds to ask me what happens if there's a blizzard the day we have out ER/ET.  Um, no clue here.  But since this is IFVs I'm sure someone on here can tell me a story of how they dealt with it so I don't lay awake tonight thinking about this.

Anyone?

Hello,

First off, we are getting snow on Saturday in RI??? Didn't know that.... (makes grocery list..)

Don't worry about your ER/ET yet- you know how you can't trust weather predictions here until the last minute.  If it turns out that it would be a problem, can you get a hotel near W&I?  Not sure how far away you are from W&I.  The Hilton Providence is really close and isn't usually expensive (especially in January).

We got dumped on the night before one of my retrievals - the state of emergency was lifted after i left my house.  We just left the house probably 3 or 4 hours before we would normally, and drove really slow with our 4 wheel drive.

I didn't know we were supposed to get that much snow (CT here). My clinic staff is there regardless, and operates as usual. I hope it doesn't interfere with anything for you.

We had a snowstorm the night before our successful FET. Our clinic was an hour away, so we got a hotel room to reduce stress.  gl

Depending how far you are from your clinic, I would get a hotel. I have monitoring Sun AM and my clinic is a good hour away, and I brought up a hotel just for monitoring. Play it by ear and if it gets really bad, get a hotel! I heard 3-6 in my area, S. NH.

I never had this expierence personally, but some of the people that go to my clinic have. 

We are in MD - when there are flurries, everything shuts down, people panic, and the shelves in grocery stores are emptied. Honest. Its crazy. Being from Buffalo, I laugh at these people. But anyhow...

The main office stayed open during this HUGE blizzard we got one Feb, Im talking feet of snow, everything was shut down (I still had to work though), the clinic put people up in a hotel, doctors and nurses included. Our clinic prides themselves being open 365 days a year no matter what.  Im not sure the logistics of it -- if they put patients up at the time of their trigger, preparing ahead of time or what. There is a hotel right next door to the main clinics building.

 

I'd look into hotels if that is an option.  GOOD LUCK!
