Am I being difficult for advocating for myself during IVF?

Hello everyone,

I’m wondering what makes someone be considered “annoying” or “difficult” during this process?

We had made a plan with our doctor, but we almost never get to see or speak with her directly. During monitoring scans, I sometimes feel like the doctors I see aren’t always following our original plan, and I end up having to politely push for it or contact my team so they can check with my doctor.

Sometimes I feel like if I don’t advocate for myself, our plan might not be followed but, at the same time, I worry that I’m being annoying or difficult.

Do you contact your team/doctor often? Do you ask questions during scans? Do you advocate for yourself, or do you mostly trust the process?

I’d really appreciate hearing others experiences.

Thank you 🤍

Has anyone ever cried at their IVF clinic and felt ashamed about it?

Hello everyone,

As the title says, has anyone ever cried at their IVF clinic and felt ashamed about it?

It’s the second time it’s happened to me and I feel like they probably think I’m crazy or dramatic. I’m not usually a crier, but I just couldn’t hold back my tears.

I guess I just need to feel less alone. Has this ever happened to you?

Thank you 🤍
