It was nice to have the staff all to myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-808717 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:28:56 +0000 tequiero21 808717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: @spaniellove: haha, that's why I HATE watching medical shows w my hubby. He's always like what!? They never do that. Or why is he on that for that!? So annoying! Lol.</p> <p>Btw, for ivf retrieval and transfer, I was the only patient in the room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-807433 Fri, 24 May 2013 12:38:31 +0000 ineebee 807433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@leialou: Whaat? You still have to wait? I guess there's no perfect RE's office afterall. It's the funniest thing - when I'm in the elevator with another woman, we walk-race the 20 feet it takes to get to the sign-in sheet. Someone should make a reality show about that! Walk-sprinting. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-807055 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:28:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 807055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: it definitely feels like they care a lot to devote so much time to each person's appointment instead of fitting in as many patients as possible. We still have to wait a bit though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-807008 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:13:50 +0000 ineebee 807008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@leialou: Wow! That must be nice! I hate walking into that waiting room and seeing 15 other women knowing that I'm in line behind all of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-807001 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:11:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 807001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen that show. At my RE's office we are always the only ones in the waiting room. That's the way the do appointments. I definitely thinks it's unusual though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-806938 Fri, 24 May 2013 09:53:50 +0000 spaniellove 806938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Haha yeah, there was a point in the season where I was like, wait! How come she just did her first injection and she's already ovulating? What kind of treatment is this and why does it cost $10k? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-806739 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:59:37 +0000 Mrs. Polish 806739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I don't think I ever have. I know if I did I would be like "That's wrong. That's wrong. Clearly they don't know anything about IF" and would probably stop watching anyway. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-802533 Thu, 23 May 2013 07:10:01 +0000 ineebee 802533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't watch the show, but I wholeheartedly agree - I have definitely not seen a very comprehensive portrayal of fertility treatments on TV before. Considering how dramatic it can be, I'm surprised it isn't at least a little bit more common! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-802226 Wed, 22 May 2013 21:56:46 +0000 spaniellove 802226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: You're right!! Sorry, will do it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-802218 Wed, 22 May 2013 21:51:55 +0000 wheres_c 802218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aarrrrghhhh...got nothing but love for ya but wish you'd put spoiler alert!</p> <p>I've never seen IUI on tv before. I guess I will once I watch the episode of Chicago fire I dvred. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-seeing-a-failed-iui-on-tv#post-802192 Wed, 22 May 2013 21:27:39 +0000 spaniellove 802192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>[Spoiler ahead!]</p> <p>So I was watching Chicago Fire and there's a character who used donor sperm from a friend to do IUI. Along the way there were some elements that I felt they got wrong (why were they the only patients in the waiting room?), it really hit home tonight when she had her beta and learned it was negative. I don't think I've ever seen that aspect of fertility treatments on TV before...have you?</p> <p>ETA: OMG now that I've seen the whole episode they nailed it. Like being asked to be godparents right after getting the beta news and all the pregnant women that just come out of the woodwork. </p>
