Feeling frustrated
I had my u/s today with 8 follicles on the left (9, 9, 8, 8, 8, 7, 7, 6) and 4 on the right (8, 7, 7, 6). My RE seemed alright with that, but said he may want to increase the gonal-f after he looked at my E2. Now it is almost time for my injection and I still don't know what my E2 is because nobody called me. The very pregnant IVF coordinator that I mentioned in my last blog is now on maternity leave so I think there is a bit of confusion on who is handling what. That is my speculation anyway, but bottom line is that I am completely pissed off. I tried calling the office and left a message before 5PM and was told that they are often in the office up until 7PM doing call-backs. I waited until 7:30PM and then called the on-call RE. I considered it an emergency and could care less if they do or not. Based on my follicle sizes, she said to just continue with the same dosages and she will call me in the morning when she can check my file in the office. I know one day is not going to make or break my cycle, but this should not be one of the things I have to worry about right now. My next appointment is on Monday and I will be seeing a different RE as mine will be gone. I'm not even sure who to complain to yet, but someone is getting an earful. Just do your effin jobs, people. I don't care if it is Friday night.

You have every right to be pissed off! With everything invested in these cycles (not just financially, but emotionally too) I'm angry that your doctor didn't follow up on your E2. On the positive side, it sounds like you're going to have at least a dozen follicles in the running, and it is still so early. Like you said, one day really isn't going to change anything at all, so don't stress about that. Take a couple deep breaths and get some sleep :)
Thanks, hun. I'm just such an emotional mess. It means alot to me that you're checking in here. (:
All I have to say about not getting your call back is Grrrrrr, Grrrrrrr, Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!
Sounds like a good number of follies, though! Am puling for you! Many hugs, Brenda!
You know ... I had something similar happen in my train wreck of a cycle last cycle (injects) and it stunk! Not at all what you want to be worrying about!!!
Glad to hear you'll give em an earfull ... I always say: "if I don't complain how will they know they are not doing a good job"
;-)
12 is a SUPER number (especially b/c of the worry about oversuppression) YIPPEE!!
Thanks so much girls. I think I cry every time I come here because it is still so hard to comprehend that people who I don't even know, care and "really understand" what this process is like. Love you guys.
