Connie Wharton always knew she wanted to be a nurse but specializing in fertility wasn\u2019t initially part of her plan. While serving as a corpsman in the United States Navy, Connie worked at a fertility clinic that was part of a military hospital in San Diego, California. It was there that she found her calling.<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/header>\n
\n

\u201cI fell in love with the patients and the work,<\/em>\u201d Connie says.<\/p>\n

While working at the military hospital, Connie spent one week out of each month at a civilian fertility clinic where she assisted with invitro fertilization (IVF) cycles that sometimes included an egg donor or gestational carrier.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to see all sides of the fertility journey while working at the civilian clinic,\u201d Connie explains. \u201cIt helped me to fully understand and appreciate the role egg donors and surrogates have in helping to create a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The experience touched her so deeply, in fact, that Connie decided to become a gestational carrier after having her own children.<\/p>\n

Supporting her patients<\/h3>\n

Today, Connie works as a registered nurse and IVF coordinator at\u00a0OU Physicians Reproductive Medicine<\/a>\u00a0in Oklahoma City, where she has been since 2005. She says the best of her job is getting to be the person patients turn to when they need support.<\/p>\n

\u201cI coordinate cycles for one doctor, so I spend a lot of time getting to know the patients and their families; there\u2019s a lot of continuity,\u201d Connie explains. \u201cI try to make everyone feel special. Each patient deserves my full attention and to know that I\u2019m focused her, not the patients coming after her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supporting her daughter through egg donation<\/h3>\n

In 2019, when Connie\u2019s daughter, Jordan, approached her about wanting to become an egg donor, she immediately referred Jordan to Egg Donor Solutions (EDS). \u201cI\u2019ve always been impressed with the attention to detail and the follow ups when working with EDS,\u201d Connie says. \u201cThey give the same attention to both parties [intended parents and egg donors] during the process, which is not all that common. I wanted to know that someone would be looking out for Jordan\u2019s best interests, as well as the intended parents. I knew I could trust EDS with my daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Connie supported Jordan throughout her egg donation cycle, giving her injections, accompanying her to monitoring appointments (which she was able to do at OU) and traveling with her to Fort Worth, Texas for the initial visit with the intended parents\u2019 physician and the egg retrieval.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did the whole thing together,\u201d Connie says. \u201cI\u2019m glad Jordan wanted me to be part it and that I got to be there for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The proud mom also notes that Jordan was a great donor. \u201cShe produced a lot of eggs, and after testing, there were 18 normal embryos!\u201d<\/p>\n

For Jordan, being able to lean on Connie and her experience as a nurse was invaluable. \u201cI didn\u2019t have many questions because this is something I grew up around, but it was really beneficial to have my mom there,\u201d Jordan says. \u201cShe understood what everything meant [from a medical perspective] and knew what I needed when I needed it. I was also glad that I didn\u2019t have to do the injections myself!\u201d<\/p>\n

Providing the inspiration to help create a family<\/h3>\n

When asked if she was inspired to become an egg donor because of Connie\u2019s work at the fertility clinic, Jordan wholeheartedly agrees. \u201cI grew up hearing about my mom\u2019s patients and how all they wanted was to have a family,\u201d Jordan says. \u201cIt was destined. Eventually, I was going to do this [help create a family] in some fashion. My mom and the other nurses take such great care of their patients and knowing that I can make a difference too, even at my age, is really neat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s intended parents recently sent her a letter following the birth of their daughter, which, as Jordan explains, has been best part of her experience thus far.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt great to get the letter,\u201d Jordan says. \u201cI can tell from their words how grateful they are when they look at their daughter. I hope I get to experience that feeling again with another family.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
