Last week I went for my bllod test to confirm what I already knew. Yeah.. my office FORGOT to call me with the results. Even though I already knew them I still wanted the official confirmation to stop everything... AND I really wanted a big beer (or two) to "celebrate." I called the office and it closes at noon on Thursdays for research time for the docs ir something (I go to a large teaching hospital). I left a message hoping that the nurses still check it, but never got a phone call back. So that evening I called the nurse on call. She was like oh yeah.. I was wondering why I never saw your name on the sign in list so I didn't know you got your blood work done. Well I'm sorry, I'm a nurse too, and if my patient was suppose to come in for important lab work and I didn't think she did, I would have called to check in - make sure everything was ok and that she didn't forget. But whatever that is just me. However- I had gotten up on my day off at 7 am to get my blood drawn. I didn't sign in because the last time I had talked with anyone from the office they said just come in for bloodwork. The nurse obviously didn't have my lab values so she had to call around and find a doc who had access to them. When she FINALLY called she confirmed it and said my RE would call me the next day.
Well, at 8 am the next day ( my other day off) my RE called and woke me up. She caught ne completely off guard and wasn't able to ask any of my questions that I had. She pretty much blamed our bad embryos on my husbands bad sperm, but failed to mention anything about the poor quality eggs they retrieved ( which I shrill blame on them and their lack of monitoring me closely and mismanaging my meds). When I asked about it she kinda talked about it, but changed the subject back to my husbands sperm and how she wanted to talk with the urologist about ways to improve the sperm. She told me she'd call me back Monday... yup still waiting on that call. I know I could have called her, but I've been busy and there really isn't anything we are going to do right this second. Still planning on hopefully starting our next IVF round in June. So now I've just been excited about trying to start exercising again! I was doing so good before last IVF so now just trying to get into again.
I hope everyone is good and have been excited for so many blogging buddies BFP! Hoping soon I'm right there with ya! I'll try to post more regularly, but I am a pretty boring person! :-)

I'm so very sorry. It's hard enough going through all of the pain and heartbreak to have to deal with a clinic that doesn't seem to have it together for you on top of it all. I was hoping so much for you that this would work. I was aghast at how mismanaged your cycle was but was hoping so much that things would work out anyhow. So frustrating. I'm glad you're able to jump right back in this June. Thinking of you -
I love that book! But the first chapter made me cry. I'm such a softie when it comes to dogs.
I sometimes simply cannot believe how unprofessional REs, nurses, office staff, etc can be. I'm changing clinics in hopes of a better experience elsewhere, but...I dunno. I'm sure it's routine to them, but it's $10,000 and all our dreams for us.
Notes for what not to do as a nurse, I guess...
My RE office always wakes me up too - and I also can't think to ask the questions I have when I am half asleep.
Are you staying with this clinic for the next IVF? If so are you going to request closer monitoring? I am keeping my fingers crossed that your BFP is right around the corner!
I'm so sorry. I hope you get your BFP soon!
