So as not to offend any sensitive eyes, if you don't want to see me lose my shit, skip the next bit.
WHATTHEFUCKINGFUCK????? ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh, that felt better. I contacted the nurse today, asking for my cycle calendar that was held ransom by the phone call I had yesterday. I mentioned in my email to her that I wanted to iron out Thanksgiving plans with family.
She called me quickly and said, "The new protocol that Dr. Famous chose for you will not work for this next cycle, given our lab closure in mid December."
WHATTHEFUCK????? I asked him that yesterday and got "Oh no, that should be no problem, you'll be done before that."
ARGHHHHHHH!
But wait, all may not be lost, she says. Where am I in my cycle now? Maybe we can start this long-ass cycle now, as in today, and get you in. Along with some bribery of the lab, because they are also fully booked. So the nurse counts what day I am in my current cycle, today is CD 13. She needs to know my LH surge to tell me when to start meds.
So I run upstairs to my stockpile of OPK (donated to me from my older friend that got pregnant immediately and no longer needs them!) and POAS.
Wait.
Negative. Shit.
Go and find my records from when I cared when I ovulated (and this is depressing, it began in December 07) and see that only twice in a year did I have a positive OPK on CD12. All the other times were CD13,14,15.
So I may still be in the running. Otherwise, it's January for me.
GODDAMMIT! ARGHHHHHH!

Is NOTHING going right today? That sucks that the lab closes in December - I understand the whole cleaning thing, but can't two sister clinics get together and spell each other off for this stuff so that no one ever has to miss a cycle because of a closure??? I'm sorry the OPK was negative - did you check the expiry date? I really hope you're still in the running...Crossing my fingers for you!!!

Awe I'm sorry that sucks! How frustrating! I hope you have a + in the next day or so though!!!
ReplyDeleteOh man that sucks! How can a fertility clinic just close?? That's crazy...the whole thing about this is TIMING and getting it right. I hope you surge quickly and are able to get going now instead of in January. Swear all you want, too...it does make us feel better.
ReplyDeleteDamn. I hope your positive OPK is yet to come so they can fit you in before the end of the year. What a crock of shit...I hope your efforts to fit in one more all frozen cycle before the end of the year is not totally screwed over by the run around you've gotten with the (un)magic phone call requirement.
ReplyDeleteArg. Scheduling what we need done around everything else is such a pain. I hope you can get in in time.
ReplyDeleteCrap! Here's hoping that the travel, the stress or something has delayed ovulation. My first cycle was delayed by the lab closure too - glad that they clean and all, but can't a girl get a break!
ReplyDeleteYou so deserve one...
GARGH! I hate that half the time the REs have no fucking idea what is going on with their own practice, and that the nurses have to come in and actually give you accurate information. I'm super sorry that lab closure is screwing you over, but I'm rooting for your LH to do its thing. Good luck with the OPKs!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is beyond frustrating. I really, really hope you are able to get it sorted out. Waiting is the absolutely worst!
