Fertility nurses play an integral role in both our reproductive treatments and also our experiences at clinics. They’re the ones who do our ultrasounds, explain our medication protocols and often are the ones calling us with our beta results post IUI or IVF.

In this episode we’re talking to fertility nurse Dori Gelfman about why she got into healthcare, what makes fertility patients special and what she’s reallyyyy thinking when her patients break down and cry (or accidentally wear a jumpsuit to an ultrasound appointment).
