How is your day?

When we re-entered the infertility treatment arena we did so with great trepedition. I knowing that IVF would ultimately be where I was headed, and Jacob with great fear that "this too won't work" Yet we trudged along accordingly. I did my research, or so I thought. I picked a clinic that I thought would be most well rounded. Yet I feel like Indiana Jones while he was hunting the Holy Grail.



Today I am on CD 11, and I am just now having my second ultrasound. Daily blood work mind you, but only my second ultrasound. Now Jacob wasn't able to attend with me, and one of the ladies here at work was curious and wanted to see what a follicle covered ovary looks like. So I asked if I could have a copy. I was TOLD by the tech that it is agains policy. "Now if you were pregnant that would be different, but I don't want to waste anybody's time. Get em' in and get em back out to work is my policy. Now if you get pregnant then your husband can attend, but until then no" It wasn't the answer that gives me the rub, but that she was so insolent about it. Then when I asked how things looked she said "You need to be quiet I am trying to concentrate" Excuse me, it is me laying on the table with a wand up my va jay jay, I have every right to ask questions. Even when she began multiple measurements she wouldn't tell me how things looked. At the end I said "do I have anything there?" She said "You ahve PCOS so you have 15-30 follicles on each ovary" I am aware I have PCOS, but how about actual follicles NOT cysts that will never go away?

Perhaps I am spoiled, but I have high expectations and they are far from being met. We read all the time if we are unhappy with our physicians to follow our guts. Well, I am unhappy...and while I hate to change physicians again...I think that perhaps its time to get away from small clinics and go with a cattle call of one. Somewhere like U---P----M---C M--a--g--e--e Heck they are close by, they are owned and run by my employer...and lord knows its a heck of a lot easier to walk a few blocks than drive 22+ miles daily just to be annoyed....

DAILY UPDATE FOR THOSE STILL READING

The nurse called. I have an E2 level that rose to 269. I forget yesterdays, but hey its rising, I am happy. My E2 is hanging at 2.1 which is fabulous! Then I asked about follicles. "You have 5, but they aren't mature yet" I understand that. I am only on CD 11, and we started out low and slow. So I am sure ovulation will occur a little later than anticipated. But gee, isn't it funny...I go from "nothing" to five. Hmf.
