Waiting for your turn during a fertility appointment can be very stressful and boring. Imagine, you have to wait for an hour or two before your consultation with the doctor which usually lasts for only 15-30 minutes at most. This is what I dread the most in seeing the doctor and this can cause a lot of stress for me. This goes not only for fertility doctors, but in almost all appointments with the doctors.
So let us turn the table and make this fertility appointment less stressful and less boring as possible and make it more worthwhile. Here are some of the things you can do while waiting for your fertility appointment:
1. Read a book or magazine.
It is better to bring your own book or magazine to read. The magazines that you find in the waiting area are not usually the ones you truly want to read, so better to bring your favorite magazines at home with you and read it here while waiting. I am sure you have piles of books and magazines at home that you haven’t read because you have no time and are too busy to do so, so now is the time to catch up with your reading.
2. Listen to your iPod or MP3 player.
Listen to your favorite music with your iPod or MP3 players. Music has a positive effect on our mood.
3. Play games with your iPad, iPhone, Playstation PSP or Nintendo DS.
Haven’t passed a specific level in Angry Birds? You have all the time to think of a solution now. You can finish other games as well. Go ahead and enjoy playing.
4. Exercise your mind.
Bring along a Sodoku or a crossword puzzle book to stimulate the brain while waiting for your name to be called.
5. Talk with other patients.
Smile and get to know other patients. Share your story. Listen to their stories. Some are in this infertility journey like you, while others have been successful in getting pregnant already. Both have inspiring and encouraging stories to tell and you will definitely learn a lot. Plus, chatting with them makes waiting time seems shorter.
6. Befriend the secretary of your doctor.
Talk with the secretary and learn more about your doctor. Ask her anything you want to know but are afraid or shy to ask your doctor. Most of the time, she can give you answers to your questions. Check with the secretary as to the rules and policy of the clinic in terms of scheduling appointments. Others allow you to call one day in advance for appointments, or if it is a first come first serve basis, maybe you can ask someone to list your name earlier for you.
7. Bond with your husband.
Going to the doctor for me equals bonding time with husband. My husband always accompanies me in all my fertility appointments. This is one thing I am thankful for because not all women going to infertility treatments come with their husband. Encourage your husband to go with you in all your future visits to the doctor. Get him involve so that he can better understand your situation and both of you can share in this journey. This is not only about you, it is about the two of you.
8. Organize your To Do List
This is a good time to think about the things you still need to do. Cross out the things on your To Do list that you have accomplished, add new ones and check if you have forgotten anything. You can also make a list of the things you need to buy. This waiting time is a chance for you to quiet your mind and organize your life.
9. Write your gratitude journal.
Have a paper and pen with you. Write down your thoughts and feelings or better yet make a gratitude journal. Think of the things you are grateful for and jot them down. Journaling can help relieve stress and make you feel happier. This is very easy to do and can easily be done while waiting for your fertility appointment.
10. Meditate.
Close your eyes. Relax. Concentrate on nothing but your breathing. Breathe in and breathe out deeply and slowly. Focus on each breath. You will definitely feel calmer and more relaxed.
So there you have it. 10 things to do while waiting for your fertility appointment or anywhere else where you have to kill time. No need to sit there bored? You can do something constructive with your time while waiting for your name to be called. Happy Waiting!
