Snarky and T-TTC

IVF girls

So for my ER, I'm assuming I need to take ALL my jewelry out, right? Even earrings? This is going to suck since I am rather pierced. I'll let you dirty girls wonder where Stick out tongue

Re: IVF girls

  • They do say take out all your jewelry.  However I have several holes in each ear, and some of the earrings are hoops connected with a little ball that I have never taken out myself. A piercer does it with some special tool thingie.  Anyway, I would check with one of the nurses or doctor himself and ask if you really need to take out the piercings that might be a pain.  I asked my nurse about the earrings that I mentioned above, and she said don't worry about it, that my head would be covered by that lovely surgical cap.

  • Cool - that's exactly what I have going on - little teeny hoops connected by that ball in my ear cartilage. Maybe those will be okay - I will ask!
  • That is what I have too!  In my cartilage, on my lobes...haha.  Hopefully it will be okay. Let me know what the doc says, I'd be interested to hear what other docs say about it...

  • I didn't have to take out any of my jewelery although I may have taken my rings off, I can't remember.  I know I didn't take out my belly button ring and they never said anything about that.

    I removed my belly ring since I'd have to take it out for pg anyway. I kept the ear cartilidge-ring and my nose-ring in though.

  • Yeah I would ask. I don't think I took off my rings, but that's all I ever wear.

  • The info sheet I had said not to wear any jewelry, so I left all mine at home.   So, I don't know how picky they would have been had I had earrings on, etc.
