Fertility Nurse of the Month: Megan LeMien, RN, BSN

Boston IVF

Boston IVF, Boston, MA, January 2012

FertilityAuthority is pleased to honor Boston fertility nurse Megan LeMien, RN, BSN as Fertility Nurse of the Month. LeMien is the IVF coordinator at Boston IVF, a fertility clinic with 12 locations throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and on Nantucket. In her role as IVF coordinator at the Waltham, MA, location, LeMien works directly with couples to guide them through the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The patient who nominated her says: "Megan should win a nurse of the year award! We are currently in the middle of our two-week wait of our third IVF cycle. Megan truly listens to everything I have to say — from questions to concerns to just me rambling. She never makes me feel silly for asking questions. She is very caring and makes me feel a sense of comfort in the IVF process. She has patience that most nurses and doctors do not have. I never feel rushed when talking to her. It is great to know that I always have her to call if anything arises. She is extremely knowledgeable! Megan is the absolute BEST nurse!"

10 Things I Like about My New Ob/Gyn

Submitted by Fresh Conceptions on Tue, 12/13/2011 - 15:20

a blog by Melinda Davis, December 14, 2011

It’s been over two years since I have visited an Ob/Gyn. I know this isn’t good, but after going through so many infertility treatments, being picked, prodded and probed on a daily basis, and after going through so much heartbreak with unsuccessful results, I just couldn’t handle the thought of seeing another doctor.

I was worried she would suggest me going back on the pill, going back through infertility treatments, or thinking she could fix me if I just tried x, y and z. I knew I was vulnerable; in my heart I still want to be a mom, and I was afraid I might second guess everything I went through and have learned throughout the process.

When You Are the Diagnostic Puzzle

The fertility patient everyone knows

a blog by Ellen Glazer, August 4, 2011

I have a client who gets a lot of attention from her fertility doctor. And from his colleagues. And from the doctors she sees for second and third opinions. Everyone is interested in her. Everyone wants to help.

Sound like an enviable position? I know that all too often infertility patients feel that they are “numbers.” A frequent complaint is that “my doctor doesn’t remember me” or “I feel like I’m getting a cookie cutter approach.” It must sound appealing to be the patient everyone knows.

Not so, says my client.
