Crazy schedule

I called the Doctors office on Friday after I realized no one had ever called me back for my day 8 ultrasound. The receptionist transferred me to OB Ultrasounds 3 times. So, 3 times I had to say I am not currently pregnant, I am trying to get pregnant! The most frustrating part was when the receptionist snottily said "Didn't I just talk to you?" It took all the grace I could muster up to politely say "Yes, but I somehow keep getting connected to the wrong department." 

So for my appointment on Monday at 4, I dropped my son off at my husband's work and then rushed in. 

Not yet to the worst part. The clinic basically closed as I left my appointment heading to the pharmacy to pick up the prescriptions that they were going to call in for me, including the Gonal F that I needed to start that night. I get to the pharmacy, no record of any new RX so I call the office and talk to my not so favorite receptionist. She transfers me to the nurses who don't answer so I call again and talk to my not so favorite receptionist and she tells me to leave a message and they will call me tomorrow. Um, tomorrow is too late. I am supposed to start the drugs tonight. So she looks in my chart and says, Oh it looks like they called it in. OK thanks, hang up. I go to the pharmacist and tell them it has now been called in, but it hadn't. So the pharmacist called the clinic... no answer they are closed for the day. I was about to have a melt down when the pharmacist said she would just fill me new prescriptions according to my last cycle of drugs. Thank You! Someone who cares and is aware of the time sensitivity of it all. I started the Gonal F injections that night but must have still been feeling frustrated because I have a small bruise in that spot. I am getting flustered just writing about it all!

On Thursday (the day I work) I had another ultrasound for day 11. I rearranged my work schedule so I could have my ultrasound at 7:45 and then rush to work to start seeing patients at 8:50. I was feeling a little  hurried, but the ultrasound went fine. I have two size 13 follicles on the right and left side and the left also has a size 19. My lining was 6 point something. 

Instructions for HCG shot that night and to schedule an IUI for day 13.
