Fertility nursing

[nynurse22]

I have been working as an RN in the field of reproductive endocrinology and infertility for 2.5 years and I think its been an amazing experience for me. I was wondering if there were any fertility nurses out there and if there are, how you feel about working in this field of medicine? Why shouldn't we be included in the nursing specialties category?:

Hello,

There is no biological explanation for this other than saying that what ever caused the problem resolved itself. We see many patients that go through all of the usual tests and come out with no real explanation for the infertility. They fall into the category of "unexplained infertility" which could mean there are problems at the actual level of fertilization and implantation that cannot be diagnosed. These patients may go on with treatment and get pregnant or stop treatment and later get pregnant on their own. I believe that God is in the ultimate control and when He says the time is right it happens.

Thanks!

A friend of mine had her first baby last year after 10 years of trying. I saw her again today and she looked like she was expecting. I was kind of surprised to see her pregnant again so soon knowing how hard it was for her the first time.

I am going into nursing.... start school in 3 months.. I have been researching to try to find what kind of nursing I am interested in. REI has been one of my top choices, but I am having trouble finding any information on this specialty.. even having trouble finding threads on it here! If anybody out there is involved in this field or knows a lot about it, please respond! Thank you!
