Trouble TTC

Rant & meds question

Hello!  Maybe I'm just moody from having cramps and being bloated after drowning my CD1 sorrows with wine over the weekend, but I feel extra frustrated today.  I was waiting to hear back from the RE to see about next steps or when to come in for monitoring next.  But now he wants me to come in to the office to talk next steps, and I can't get in until Friday.  By that point, it's CD 6 for me, which is too late to get on any meds for this cycle, right?  I know some people take meds CD5-9, but has anyone ever had their RE start them as late as CD 6??

I just hate not feeling like I have control!  I don't want to go in so late and not have as many options as I'd like for this cycle, but I don't want to spend money on another natural IUI, and saying we're trying TI again feels like I'm giving up on the cycle.  I know I can't control everything, and I can't plan out perfectly how every cycle will pan out...but I'm ready to get this show on the road to the next level.  Grrrr!!

  • I am so sorry!! I HATE when the RE won't schedule appts so that you can do something that cycle. After the eval, they "couldn't get me in" until CD23 of the following cycle. Total waste of cycle!!

    I know that during my eval cycle, they scheduled the saline thing on the day I was likely to O. I expressed concern when this was first scheduled, but then the next day, I called back again. They reviewed it and agreed with me and also agreed to let that procedure be done by a different doctor (and I did O on the day I would have had that test). Do you think if you call back and tell them that you are not interested in doing another natural IUI and that you are concerned that the appointment would be too late for meds that they might find a way to squeeze you in or see another dr?FX crossed that they can find a way to get you in sooner than Friday!!!

  • That is an idea to just schedule an appointment before finding out if AF is coming - thanks!  Looks like my DH will be traveling around the time I O anyways, so we may not be able to do much regardless.  Frustrating, but I'm a bit more calmed down from my anxious self earlier today :P
