Nurses

Supporting you throughout your treatment

Your Queensland Fertility Group Fertility Nurse provides constant support and day-to-day advice throughout the ups and downs of your fertility treatment.

After meeting your specialist for the first time, you can make an appointment to see a Nurse Coordinator. She’ll discuss your treatment plan, answer your questions and help support you throughout your journey.

The nursing team at your clinic will:

  • Provide you with information about your treatment and explain any terminology or options you’re not sure about
  • Show you and your partner how to administer any drugs you need to take as part of your treatment
  • Assist in the collection of blood for hormone tests as required
  • Liaise with your fertility specialist to confirm the next steps in your treatment
  • Arrange appointments with our infertility counsellor as needed
  • Follow up on your egg collection and embryo transfer
  • Organise your pregnancy test

IVF involves a number of daily injections for a short period of time, which you need to administer yourself using a simple device similar to a diabetic pen. Your nurse will show you how to use this, and can help you with any concerns – most patients find it quite easy to use and it causes minimal discomfort.
