embarrassing moment at the RE

in TTC after 35

I know what you are thinking....how could one possibly be embarrassed at a doctor's office where a vaginal ultrasound is a routine occurrence? 

Well, I was in the exam room at the RE waiting for my ultrasound.  My doctor is usually pretty prompt once you are back in the exam room, and I felt like I had been waiting a long time.  Oh well....unbeknownst to me, the exam room door was locked (from the inside).  The nurse had been knocking on the door, but since I have some significant hearing loss (I rely heavily on lip reading, so if I can't see you, I can't "hear" you), I had no idea.  Finally, they got more aggressive with the knocking and I heard them.  I felt bad, but honestly, wouldn't you think someone would have a key?

In other news, not a great response to Clomid.  The idea was to get more targets, but I still just have the one follicle (and I ovulate normally, so no improvement over what I could do on my own).

    I'm sure that was embarrassing for you, but I must admit it made me smile. Imagine what the nurses were thinking! "What is this lady doing in there??!"

    Sorry the clomid didn't do anything for you.

    Ha! That is more funny than embarrassing.. lol I had a moment once when just as the dr was walking in the room i realized i still had my underwear on, I literally threw them across the room onto a chair as he walked in. If my timing had been off by just a little bit he could have ended up with panties hitting him in the face...

    Too funny but guess I shouldn't laugh because I'm basically going deaf too so that could be me some day.
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    Sorry about the lack of response to clomid. Why can't anything be easy?

    Frankly, it's the nurses who should be embarrassed. They locked the door to which they didn't have a key.
