I was expecting an overnight fed ex delivery of Lupron this morning from 8-12 that never showed up. I had to leave about an hour after that and when I came home there was no note indicating that they had been by late. So now I am feeling SO ANGRY and also panicky. I hope I have enough Lupron to last till Monday. Fortunately I live near the specialty pharmacy so I can pick it up if fed ex gives the package back... Will they?? I hate Fed Ex so bad right now. Like I am LIVID. I don't know what to do. I don't have a tracking number so I'd have to ask the pharmacy but they're not open until Monday. I will NEVER use Fed Ex again. What is the point of using your speedy services if you don't follow through!!!!!

Well I learned my lesson and will always find a way to pick it up from now on. Thanks for the support! My pharmacy doesn't charge me to ship, but I'm thinking if this messes up my cycle in any way that Fed Ex owes me everything I've paid so far!!!

***CP mentioned***
We've been working on baby #1 since July 2013 using Open ID donor sperm. 8 IUI attempts with 5 actual IUIs and one chemical pregnancy. We have one fresh IVF cycle under our belts as well as a FET. I have endometriosis and a uterine septum that was corrected via surgery in November 2013.
11/14/14 - Second HSG shows that tubes are still clear and ute is looking good.
12/6/14 - Started BCPs in prep for IVF #2
12/22/14 - Saline u/s and endometrial scratch (All was clear and OUCH!)
1/2/15 - Began stimming for IVF #2
****All Welcome!****
We are Mommas to four fur babies - 3 dogs and 1 cat.
And just wanted to add the pharmacy is not totally innocent either... When I was trying to figure out if I needed a new px for Lupron or if I had refills, I found out the px was actually for TWO boxes with a refill of both and I didn't know that and the pharmacy only gave me one! Maybe they thought it was a mistake or that they were doing me a favor, but I wish they would have mentioned it!!

Yikes! Did you contact your RE? Sometimes they'll have extra sitting around in case you need it. In my area there's no pharmacy that stocks these meds, so it has to be shipped. I'd be throwing a strategic hissy fit to get a discount or some sort of recompense.

((peeking in from 3T)) When this happened to me, my meds had been delivered to the wrong house, and that person took the box to our local USPS... where it sat for a month before FedEx picked it up. They swore up and down that the delivery had been left in a specific location at my house, and then acted like everything was fine because packages get brought to USPS all of the time when they aren't delivered to the right place... seriously?
Long story short, maybe give your local USPS a call to see if they have it?

This happened with ups on my first cycle. Talk about stressed out. I was on the phone with the call center until 1am I cursed so many people out I stopped counting. I ended up waking up at 5am driving to the warehouse for ups, waited at the gate for them to open, cursed out 2 more people and had a full meltdown in the middle of the warehouse with at least 50 men in brown watching as I held my big box of meds and cried my eyes out about just wanting a baby. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! Hope you can get it straight!

Having unfortunately had a near miss with fedex myself, might I suggest calling and telling them specifically that the package is medication which you needed to start already? Start out kind, then work your way up to crazy. I'd also suggest crying. This method worked for me such that I could get it from the warehouse.

Thanks everyone! I ended up having just enough left for today and I called the pharmacy this morning. They called Fed Ex who had no idea what happened or where the package was. So the pharmacy just sent me another box by private courier and I got it this afternoon!!!!! Never relying on Fed Ex again though!!
