Secondary IF

Well this is super annoying.

Just called to schedule the appt. for the IVF consult, and I was hoping and praying I could get in by Weds. which would be CD1 (the office is actually really good about getting appts. asap) but they are booked until 10/7. Which will be CD6, which means we get to do nothing for an entire cycle. No IUI, no IVF, nothing, just sit around waiting for Nov. cycle. UGH UGH UGH. 


I just want to yell and scream. I am so frustrated with this whole effing process. It always feels like I'm in a "Hurry up and wait" rut. We finally got to the point of treatment cycles, after 7 effing months of testing, and now we're back to effing waiting again. 


I just wanted to vent. That's all.  Just waiting around for AF. Nothing to really see here.

    I guess not! I asked her that last cycle (if we can plan for IVF while we're waiting on the IUI cycle) something about INS approval issues. I guess that makes sense, but it's just so frustrating to get benched when we're just starting treatments :(

    Ugh, that sucks. Stupid INS. Never know though, there have been several stories through here of someone getting KU on a hurry-up-and-wait cycle!

  • Blech! I am sorry... You would think they would let you make it earlier and always be able to cancel it.  So frustrating.  We spend way to much of our lives waiting. 



      


  • I'm sorry - the waiting game is hard.....

     

    We are in a perpetual state of waiting - so vent away.

  • This exact thing happened to me. After my 3rd IUI I called to report my CD1 and they said there was no 'plan' in my chart and I needed to meet with the doctor before proceeding with another medicated cycle...and of course they were booked for what seemed like an eternity, so we had to sit that cycle out. I felt the same way as you! I hope they can get you in there ASAP!

  • It's so hard to be at the mercy of someone else's schedule and your body's cycle when all you want to do is get things going.  I'm sorry for the cycle break - it's not fair.

    TTC #2 since 1/2012

  • Ugh, that really stinks girl... Im sorry. I hope the time passes quickly for you.

    I did ask them to call if there were any cancellations, so I guess we'll see. I doubt anyone would cancel a RE appt though. 

    I took some time to cool off, and I'm feeling much better about the whole thing. I just need to work on my patience!  :bz

    Thanks so much for letting me vent ladies. I really appreciate all the support
