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?!!??
Re: Can I please freak out over stupid clinic hours for a minute??
*****Siggy Warning*****
I'm pretty sure cd5 is too late also. Just my luck.

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.

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.
