[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I’ll bite 9:01. I am that woman they are protecting. After multiple years trying, multiple failures, and a miscarriage I don’t want to see your daughter at the fertility clinic. For three months after my miscarriage, I did not go to parks, libraries during the day, or grocery stores before 7pm because seeing a child or worse a pregnant woman would set me in a spiral. Having to see your daughter playing in the waiting room while I was waiting for my D and C of a 9 week pregabacy would have destroyed me. Seeing your happy family while waiting for my betas to come back zero would have been a jab in the heart. Waiting in the same space as you while I wait to have my blood drawn for yet another BFN, which I already know the cycle did not work because I tested at home five times, would just be a reminder of how much this process sucks.

I understand that there a many appointments. I understand getting a babysitting is hard and expensive. But, this policy is at a place that is designed for people who are struggling to get pregnant. There a many things you might complain about in this process and many reasons you might post a negative review, but I would seriously ask you to reconsider bringing your child to a fertility clinic. It is painful to many of us and if you can show a little compassion, that would go a long way.[/quote]

And I would expect nothing less off the Leesburg SG office, where I have always found kind, compassionate people.

Many RE offices ask their patients not to bring in young children; this isn’t just SG’s policy.[/quote]

Look, I get that it's hard to see babies / children when you're dealing with infertility. But two things: 1) when I was trying to conceive my first and would see couples or women with children in the waiting room...I took it as encouraging! Success stories, if you will. I think it's important to remind yourself it's not a zero sum game - someone else getting pregnant does not make it any less likely that I will. 2) yes, I understand the point that it feels 'in your face' to see kids at an infertility clinic. But logistically...think about it realistically. You are having to make a stream of very last-minute, often weekday appointments. For those who do not have prescheduled daily childcare or family in the area, there really are not a ton of options. Friends are at work, you can't keep a nanny on 24/7 retainer just in case you get a positive OPK, and it really is just not realistic to find last minute weekday babysitters all the time. [/quote]

I agree- children in the waiting room was a reminder that fertility treatments work!!  Also I think that because of the nature of fertility treatments and the constant blood draws and ultrasounds - it would be very difficult to always have child care coverage.[/quote]
