Would this irritate you? WWYD?

So I went to my doc's today to get another beta. While waiting, the nurse calls me in to tell me the lady who usually does the blood draws is out for the day and to go ahead and go to the lab at the other building.

I was so pissed! I hate going to the lab because the wait is always extremely long. I walk in and sure enough, the waiting room is jam packed. Um, not going to to happen. I walk back out and call my doc's office to tell them I'm not going to wait and that if I can just come back Monday and get it with them. The nurse tells me they would really like for me to get it today or even tomorrow to make sure my beta is continuing to drop, she was very persistant. I say "fine" and hang up. 

BUT I really really don't want to go tomorrow. I've been to the lab on a Saturday morning and the line is out the door. Plus I have a million and one things to do tomorrow.

Would it be a big deal if just didn't go tomorrow and call my doc's office on Monday too see if I can go back with my regular blood draw lady (don't know her official name)? If I go tomorrow, they get the results Monday, if I go Monday, they get the results Tuesday. I don't see 1 day making that big of a difference.

WWYD?

(Back story: beta was rising, got the Meth injection, beta went from 72 to 61 and then from 61 to 31.)

I feel like this post is making me sound like a big baby but I blame the hormones.

    Is it quest or labcorp?  If so, is it too late to make an appointment for tomorrow, so you don't have to wait too long?

    I would think you'd be fine to wait until Monday.  I'm sorry for the entire situation, sweetie. :(

    I'd wait.

    I know you're SOOO ready to close this book once and for all but honestly the results are not going to indicate any immediate treatment one way or another so I'd make it easy on yourself and wait.

    Hell....  I skipped my last betas all together and just peed on a few sticks until it was negative.

    I just couldn't stomach one MORE freaking blood draw when I knew I was so close to the prize so to speak.

    I know they're being medically responsible but I swear it's pure freaking torture to keep being a pin cushion like this. 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    That would annoy me to no end. When I was going through my m/c drama I skipped a blood draw. I can't even remember why now but I remember them calling me to set up an appt for the next day. I would until monday- but I would also give feedback that not having a person on staff who can pull labs is not cool. That is a vital position for an RE office.

    I am a rule follower by fault but honestly, an extra day isn't going to be the end all/be all especially where they are dropping. I went once/week until they were low and then every other until they hit 0 (2 actually).

    i despise labcorp. And Pp is right. the result isn't going to dictate emergency treatment, so I would wait until monday and have your regular person  draw it.

    You girls, my husband and mom said to screw it and wait so Monday it is!

    Howley, pin cushion is the perfect description of how I feel.

    Thanks girls!
