What is an adequate thank you

[mia1972]

Ladies,
I am not sure what to do. I have just had an IVF cycle and with a positive result, although it's very early days.
I feel particularly grateful because both the consultant and my fertility nurse were incredibly supportive and involved. I'd like to express my thank you to them but I don't want to be inappropriate, I thought I could send her some nice flowers but what do I do with him ?
What is the best thing to do ?
Thanks in advance

I think a heartfelt card or letter would be the nicest thing to receive if I was them!

I agree-a card would be plenty for the consultant. Most in the hospital seem to get given bottles of booze and I've seen so much stored on top of cupboards or given out to their team at Christmas. A box of chocolates for a team goes down well as it can be left in the staff room for everybody to help themselves. I'm thinking of getting a small bunch of flowers for my ivf nurses but have been stupidly superstitious and should probably get a move on as I'm 28 weeks! I think they also love getting a photo after the baby/babies are born judging by the wall of photos in their office

you could send the consultant flowers too - it's not a gift i send often to men, but just sometimes it feels appropriate (eg when my boss had an operation), and i have to say, they've always been pleased! you can get bouquets that aren't too girly, say all white roses and lilies or something.

mind you, there are some men it wouldn't do for at all. i can only imagine what my dad would say!

massive congratulations on your BFP x

I would send each a card rather than a specific gift. If the words in the card come from the heart, I don't think there can be a better acknowledgement of your gratefulness.

Many congratulations on you BFP!

Thank you so much for your messages ladies, I think that i will send a card to each and maybe some flowers to my lovely nurse in the end.

Congratulations!!

I agree with the suggestions above, a lovely card or a letter and maybe a box of chocolates or biscuits they can all share over a mug of tea :-)

Muffin basket, that was always a favourite where I worked!!

Mia I just wanted to say congratulations on your news. I filled up when I read your OP
