I'm so frustrated right now and just need to vent for a second!
I realize I'm only seeing an OB/GYN and not an RE, but he specialize's and has a degree in infertilty so he should KNOW the urgency and the timing issues!
So I went for u/s on Monday morning and my follies were doing great! She said that the doctor will probably want to see me back on Wed. for another u/s and probably trigger shot then. SHE said if I don't hear from them by noon on Tues. to call. SO I DID because they didn't call me. I left a message, and thought for sure they'd call me even if it was in the evening (because last time he called me after 8 p.m.) ANYWAY...no call, so I wait today till like 9:30 a.m. and finally call again...telling them I'm suppose to come in today for u/s and possible trigger and I need to know as soon as possible so I can leave work to go there! It is NOW 1:30 p.m. and no call! AND they go to lunch from 1 to 2 p.m. - AND I'M FRUSTRATED TO NO END!!! I DON'T WANT TO MESS THIS CYCLE UP MISSING ONE DAY TO OVULATE!
Last cycle I triggered on cycle day 13, and as it looks I won't probably get trigger now till day 14 because today is almost over! ANYONE know if that's a bad thing, or maybe a good thing because the egg would be more mature and so will my follie?
I'm so frustrated! I just want to get pregnant already! AND I probably won't have time for IUI now if they trigger me tomorrow, because Friday is not a good day for my man to be there to "help" out with IUI! UGH!
Sorry for the long rant!

RN - We need you back here at 8:15 tomorrow for an U/S.
Me - I can't come at 8:15, I have a conference call from 7:00-10:00.
RN - *with attitude* Well, we need to do this U/S tomorrow
Me - Okay, how about any time after 10:00.
RN - *heavy sigh* I'll have to check with the doctor.
Me - *big smile* Okay, you do that.
15 minutes go by...
RN - *snotty tone* will 11:30 work for you?
Me - Yep. Great. Thanks for working that out, I appreciate it!
It sucks that I give that dang office SO much money and they act is if they are doing me a personal favor.
URG!
Now I'm just venting with you!
I'm so aggravated...I don't understand, they KNOW I needed to get back in today and YET they still haven't called back after 2 calls to their office!
OHHH and to top it off, I have a lovely headache that I've had on and off for the last several days! Sheessshhh...all this frustration better go away by Saturday because we have big plans!
ANYWAY...go tomorrow for u/s and then I'll have to pick up my HCG shot later on and give it to myself that night, she said she'd call me and give me instructions, but I basically know how to do it.
THEN she said IUI is only $300 and that they could schedule that on Friday morning, so I'm going to see what my man say's about taking the morning off so I can get a sample to bring in. Otherwise, I won't be able to do it this cycle.
So we'll see...but I do feel better now! And anxious to get the shot already :)
Thanks for listening to my rants :) :) :)
