$1200 lost!

Finally got a consultation with the doctor. And as it turns out she was willing to transfer even if I didn't get to 8 mm. But the nurses didn't convey that to me so I cancelled the cycle thinking that they weren't going to let me transfer before I got 8 mm and I wasn't even close to a millimeters so on Friday last week I said no I'm not doing this anymore I'm done.

So after the consultation I found out that the doctor would've been willing to potentially transfer. They gave me the instructions to return on Monday and that they would reevaluate but they didn't tell me that the doctor would have transferred.

So now I've spent $1200 last month on tests that is just burnt when I could have spent another $300 and gone ahead with the transfer this month. So now I'm distraught and angry and frustrated and I cry every day. They need to take their patients mental state into consideration when they're dealing with these! A five-minute conversation when somebody decides to cancel and then just throw your hands up I guess I would hope that they would've called me back and give me more counselling but they didn't so now I'm out $1200 and I have to go through this again this month. We've decided to push through and do one more month and then if it doesn't work then we're going to take a break. So my transfer will be at the beginning of June even if my lining isn't 8.

Shots gone wrong and FB rant.

This madness called for a Facebook post tonight. To let people really see the face of infertility. Here's what I posted. "This is what infertility really looks like. Tonight was double shot night where I have to give myself 2 shots of 2 different drugs, in my ass (behind me), on my left side (I'm right handed), without help because of M's fear of needles. And this is what happens when that goes wrong. So often I struggle in silence and try my best to keep strong. But tonight my rage, frustration and sadness has gotten the best of me. I have another 7 days of this nightly routine only to go for a biopsy - not even for an attempt at a transfer. I am a real life science experiment. I post this to vent, and to bring awareness to the true struggles of infertility. Shining a light on the darkness that plagues some people's lives with no one knowing. Suffering in the shadows is part of the greatest pain." I got a huge outpouring of support and people have told...

Waiting for Biopsy Results

3 days until my biopsy and I'm feeling very anxious. This waiting in between is awful. Many of the women on my FB group have transferred this month and many have gotten their BFP's. Makes me feel like I'm not part of the 'club'. Thankfully I have my art show to keep me busy. I worked my butt off this weekend prepping and getting everything branded and ready to go. Now I'm back to the slower pace at work as well. Though that's good - it gives me too much time to wonder and worry I guess.

Got my new protocol today.

Well. Things are moving along! I got a call from the ART lab in Florida today. They have sent my protocol to HFI and my prescriptions to a pharmacy in Ohio. I am to get my ultrasound and blood work on January 16 at HFI. Then wait for CD1 and we have a projected transfer date of February 10!
