It's Christmas Eve and you have the nagging feeling that you forgot somebody this year. You went through your address book and sent out cards to your old friends. There are gifts under the tree for everyone in your family. So you should be covered. But there's someone ...
Oh, that's right! Your fertility doctor!!
This person has played an important role in your life. Maybe you've just begun gathering information about your options because you're hoping to use in vitro fertilization to get pregnant in the new year. Or perhaps you've already successfully had a baby through in vitro fertilization and you haven't seen your doctor in quite some time. No matter what stage of treatment you're at, you surely have a fondness for the doctors that have helped you along the way.
These doctors know that what they do is important. However, we all like to get acknowledgment now and then for the role that we have played in helping others. Let your fertility doctor know that he or she wasn't actually forgotten this Christmas. Call the office now and leave a message thanking him or her for the work that was done to assist you in your fertility and wishing the whole staff a Merry Christmas. Better yet, write a letter of thanks that they can hang on the wall for other patients to see. You don't have to do something big or expensive to let your doctor know that you're appreciative. It's the little things that count at this time of year.
