I know I'm not a regular on this board, but I'm not sure where to ask. I'm supposed to graduate from my RE next week. Did anyone do anything for their clinic as a "thanks for everything"? I've gone to a small clinic for almost two years. Everyone knows me when I walk in and I love the nurses. I know I've paid them plenty of money but is there something else I should do? Some people may say "do whatever you want" which is fine. I guess I'm looking to see if a) you did anything and b) what it was. Thanks!

I also went to a very small clinic where everyone knew me when I walked in. When I "graduated" I brought in a homemade cake (I had taken in baked goods before) and a card expressing my thanks and gratitude. When I left that day I noticed 3 different people had a big slice of cake on a plate in front of them.
My baby is due in 2 weeks and once he is here I plan on sending a photo and a personal thank you note to my RE and my main nurse.

*TW*loss mentioned
I didn't do anything when I graduated from my RE. With my loss history, graduating didn't feel like something to make a big deal out of because it was still so early.
After this baby is born, though, I'm planning to send them a heartfelt card letting them know how much I appreciate the care I received.

I went to a smaller office as well and felt the same way. I had always planned to do something but never did because life got busy and it kept slipping my mind. I think it would be a nice gesture but I don't think it's necessary or expected.

**possible tw**
I'm with PP's. I didn't do anything when I graduated because I didn't feel confident this pregnancy would "stick" given my history but plan to send a card and photo when baby is born.

I don't think we will do anything on particular. We cycled at a large academic hospital and didnt even have a designated RE during our cycles... so yeah. I do plan on sending a card and pic to one of the nurses who has been real kind to us. I ran into her at work (same hospital as we cycled at lol) sometime in February and she was sooo excited for us it was so sweet heh.
I do however plan on sending a thank you something to the asherman's specialist (at another clinic) who made it possible for me to even get pregnant again. He also was a great support when we got the DOR/POF dx and went the extra mile to assure the best results while doing IVF when we were cycling at the large hospital and the REs there were being a pita.

I made brownies and wrote a nice note to my RE and my favorite nurse. When V was born I sent the RE a birth announcement and a note expressing how thankful I was.
