I never really thought about it that way and always carefully position the paper "blanket" over my lap to make sure I'm all covered up--but you're right, why bother when they're about to see it all anyway?! Also so true about ending up half-naked and sobbing at the end of many of these appointments...not a good feeling :( <br /><br />Also, thanks so much for your kind comment on my blog!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319707316191000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-83775245115664743932010-04-25T23:27:48.738-04:002010-04-25T23:27:48.738-04:00I've also often thought about the irony of thi...I've also often thought about the irony of this. And wondered what the doctors do when they leave us to get undressed. Do they run down to the computer and dry to polish off a few emails? Or just wait outside the door? And how do they know how long to give before knocking? Because how awkward would it be if they knocked and you were still undressing?Ceejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084169397555487550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-19004996623777625812010-04-25T13:03:49.240-04:002010-04-25T13:03:49.240-04:00Gosh, it is so true!

I was just thinking about it and after so many months of being heavily exposed, got weirded out again when I accompanied DF for a visit at Dr. Testicles this last week. Things we have to go through to build our family. Wish we could keep it private. Oh, I wish!<br />Happy ICLW from your follower!erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652721342410868916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-71409556291832103732010-04-25T10:28:58.363-04:002010-04-25T10:28:58.363-04:00haha! the whole thing IS completely ridiculous! fo...haha! the whole thing IS completely ridiculous! for effs sake, my RE is more intimate with the innards of my lady bits than my husband of 7 years! i say we strip and get right down to business. shall we start a movement? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-53261109033300329392010-04-25T05:56:28.977-04:002010-04-25T05:56:28.977-04:00So many times I felt the exact same!!

He/she doesn't have to stare at you but still, in my case, the curtain is drawn, she waits behind it and I have to say "I'm ready!" like a baby on the toilet....anyway, after my initial surprise at this behaviour (in Italy it doesn't happen) I just play along...<br /><br />Happy ICLW, Fran<br /><br />#71Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717020378275616297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-76977306761542276682010-04-25T05:05:14.887-04:002010-04-25T05:05:14.887-04:00LOL...If I took it seriously....I would be aghast ...LOL...If I took it seriously....I would be aghast and the number of people who had got to see my hoo!<br /><br />I am a little taken aback even at other procedures (besides ultrasound)...I was watching my laparoscopy video, and saw the cam come out of my interior pipeus, take a visual of the hoo, and go right into the face of the Anesthesiologist. <br /><br />Needless to say, I feel ugh!..alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07679149270839974470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-26441085224518332032010-04-25T00:59:12.477-04:002010-04-25T00:59:12.477-04:00I love this post!

I had to laugh at the dentist appointment (in March) that was smack in the middle of a busy week of in-vitro ultrasounds and told the hygienist that this was the first appointment all week where I didn't have to take off my pants.

It is truly farcical for them to pretend otherwise.<br /><br />Good luck with your upcoming (hopefully soon) IVF treatment. <br /><br />~ICLWKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791317184998122691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-37782318700542350442010-04-24T23:30:48.458-04:002010-04-24T23:30:48.458-04:00LOL!!

After all these years, and especially after a hysteroscopy, it just doesn't seem to matter anymore. Crazy how much this journey can change us.

So, I took my pants off and sat on the table. I kind of pulled my shirt down a little bit so I wasn't just sittin' there all nekkid. When the RE came in to do the u/s, he was FREAKED out that I didn't have on a bottom. All I could think was, you're about to shove a probe up my hooha and you're worried that you might see a little BEFORE you get down there? Huh? They were SO apologetic about forgetting the drape and I really don't care anymore. I honestly have to remind myself NOT to start stripping until they close the door...Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382638658909144208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-77637168483870287922010-04-24T14:03:22.646-04:002010-04-24T14:03:22.646-04:00Ha, ha, so true--although I have to admit there wa...Ha, ha, so true--although I have to admit there was once the nurse didn't leave right away after my ultrasound. She seemed to be expecting me to get dressed with her still standing there and for some weird reason it kind of bothered me. Completely irrational. I have no idea why.Julizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616005510022009796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-92209171713510243372010-04-24T11:50:58.829-04:002010-04-24T11:50:58.829-04:00This is so true.

I gave up after 15. <br /><br />Now I half heartedly cover with the paper blanket thingy as I come out of the changing room, more for their comfort than mine. I figure, regardless of what they see every day, if I walked out buck naked from the waist down (except for my socks of course) and sauntered over to the table, it might freak them out...<br /><br />I once said to my husband after an ER, where there were like six people in the room and as they got me situated the nurse said "don't worry, I'll just cover you up <i>here</i> while you get in position" how silly it was, since as soon as they put me out they were all going to be staring up into my junk for the next twenty minutes... ;-)Just mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671919237872985299noreply@blogger.com
