Bitesize: Nurses' top tips for your IVF cycle - at CRGH

Welcome to the latest episode of The Fertility Podcast Bitesize. We are in conversation with Kirsty-Lee Wright and Joycelia Green, two Senior Nurses at The Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health who are sharing some top tips for your IVF cycle that they gathered from the 28 strong nurse team at the clinic. The nurses are always on hand to hold your hand, literally as well as answer any questions you might have in between your consultations and stages of treatment and these tips are really handy. 

What we discussed: 

  • Bringing in your own dressing gown 
  • Remove all piercings, especially the intimate ones 
  • Bring a snack for after egg collection
  • Plan a treat for that post egg collection breakfast 
  • Read all your discharge information once you’ve gone home and had a sleep and if anything doesn’t make sense - ring/email the nurses with any questions
