Phew…we’re moving on Mood
Thursday, August 28, 2008 | A Breaking News story

Nurse called, I’m slightly annoyed by her, I can move on to stims tonight! Annoyed by the fact she gave me NO info on the actual results, even after telling her I like to track them and know and asked specific questions like “what was my Estradiol level, how was mine lining and the cysts, what was my progesterone” yeah know….to which after a bit of hemming and hawing got “lining was thinner” “overall rating was below 10 and we didn’t test for progesterone” “the cycts isn’t a concern” -I wish there was only one but no need getting caught up in the details right. What the heck is “overall rating”??? My nurse gives me all the info, some of the others nothing. Funny though since the first time around they rambled off all these numbers etc at me and I had NO freaking clue what they were or meant, now on hopefully luck number 3, they aren’t giving me anything – figures. Well when I get the blood work on Tuesday hopefully My nurse will call and I can get those results and todays ;0) OH and the tech this morning said I had a measurable follicle in each ovary – woohoo. Here we go!

    I am SOOOO excited for you. I'm sure it's felt like a really long wait to get here again but it won't be long now! Maybe third time will be a charm for both of us...

    It does seem that the more familiar you become with the #'s the less info you get. Maybe they were trying to dazzel you in the beginning & now they know you've caught on. LOL! I'm praying for you...I hope this is your BFP! Good luck! Melissa xxx

    That is good news about the measurable follicles. I am sorry she was not very nice. I come across the same stuff depending on who the nurse is. In some ways I think thy don't get into details because not all couples going through this would really understand. I goo all my stats our first IVF and then not as good reports for the last 3 IVF's (current one included.
    If you REALLY want the information and you aren't getting anywhere with the nurse then request a full copy of your medical records. It should have all the information in it you are looking for.
    Good luck and I am glad you on your way.
