Grrr.
So I mentioned I had to go get cd2 bloodwork and genetic panels done today, which I have been having anxiety over pretty badly. Fine, I buck up and drive the one hour each way to get it done. I get to the clinic at 3:20. The roads were bad so it took a little longer than I planned and they close at 3:30. I sign in and they tell me they take their last draw at 3:15 so they can't take mine. But lucky me, I can go to the emergency department to have them do it there. I call me RE's office to see if I can just do it Monday. But they closed at 3 today!
So I go down to emergency, wait a 1/2 hour to be called. Sit in an exam room for another twenty minutes to wait for the nurse. AND THEN THE KICKER!! She tells me they can't take my blood because the tests have to be sent out of province and the mail already went!!!!!!!!!
Soooo now I have to wait till next month
why didn't some one tell me that I needed to be there before lunch time?!!??

Very good question! I've wondered this too. This clinic/re doesn't do ivf so I wonder if that's the reason? Also, I have to think that, because we're not on any cycle yet, that there IS an emergency number but they just haven't seen the need for me to have it yet?
Unfortunately, I can't switch RE or clinics. This is the absolute only one I the small province I live. The next closest is more than a 6 hour drive each way.
Eta forgot a word
2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012: In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery
IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014 BFN
IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN
We are done with treatment unsuccessfully.
Nothing. It just lists the telephone hours for the last day they were open. In this case, Friday February 28 from 10-3.
I'm still holding on to the hope that they just haven't given me the after hours number yet since I'm not cycling.
