So I'm at work and get this phone call from a nurse and she says since I have to have a follow up mamm in 6 months I need to have a consult with a breast surgeon to give me the go ahead on taking Estrogen for my mock cycle which is in a few days!!
Seriously? When I talked to my DE coordinator she KNEW I had to have a follow up. I talked to her like 4 times last week. Why the f didn't she tell me this then?? So I call this other office and the nurse explained to me that since I didn't have anything showing on ultrasound except a dense breast then the dr. would not see me. Of course I'm bawling at this point because I'm thinking I then have to wait 6 months for mamm again and I'm turning 44 in May....blah blah I was a mess. She said that no one could tell me if I might have a cell that will react to the Estrogen.
Did this happen to anyone? It's late but I'm going to leave a mess with RE coordinator since I'm due to take Estrogen in few days. Sigh...maybe this is a sign...go to Hawaii instead Hoping AF is really behind schedule.

Re: WTF? RE wants me to have consult with a breast surgeon :(
Can't you just sign something saying that you're aware of the risks, but want to proceed anyway - especially since you're doing your mock cycle? Isn't the purpose to see how you respond? Or can the Dr. at the office that said there's no way to tell how you might react to the Estrogen call your RE's office and tell THEM that?
Having just gone through my breast issue, I really feel for you. This is already such a complicated process, and it sucks that it seems like there's a roadblock at every turn.
I'm so sorry you're going through this, Becky! I hope you're able to get it figured out soon!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that they get this figured out for you. Don't be afraid to fight for what you want and advocate for yourself!
As far as I know Cassie and baby are doing well, but I haven't seen her on fb much (I'm sure she's a little busy), and we haven't all gone to visit yet.
