Always Something (Vent)

KT416KT416 member
in Trouble TTC

So as you may know, my RE switched practices as soon as we get a game plan (IVF w/ ISCI) and we've been waiting for over a month to see her at her place but our appointment is finally tomorrow!

To keep a long story short(er), I called the fertility dept for my charts, transferred me to medical records and they said to fill out the form online and it would 7-10 days. I had my DH fax it that day last Monday to have it sent to my new office, and I mailed in a request form for me to pick up so I would have a copy too.

So I called on Friday to check the status. Had nothing. (Although the confidence I had on the person on the phone was very slim). So she said I could fax a copy to her attention which I did.

Called today. Nothing. Checked for my first fax. Nothing. Checked for my second fax. Nothing. Finally he was able to find my mailed copy in the pile. I said how urgent it was and that I needed to pick it up tomorrow. He said that he wasn't sure how long it would take depending on what the medical records were. He finally opened it up and said, "Oh fertility.... that's a different process. I would need my boss's approval for that". He said he would forward it to his boss for them to work on it today but no guarantees, and it probably wouldn't happen.

Ugh. I feel like we've always been waiting for something. I'm sure my appointment tomorrow will be pointless without my medical records if I can't get them. I'm going to be on Day 4 tomorrow, so I was hoping that I could start BCP and start the process.........

I'm going to call tomorrow AM, but I'm thinking about just showing up to medical records (if possible) and see if they can help me regardless of how the phone call goes tomorrow.

Me: 29, DH: 30

Married: April, 2011; TTC: July, 2012

Dx: MFI; June '14 IVF w/ ICSI: 11R, 8M, 5F... 1 5dt, beta #1: 213, beta #2: 621, beta #3: 8545!

    Omg how frustrating. I would go in the office and demand to speak with someone who can resolve this situation since you have them plenty of notice and they did not keep their end of the deal!

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    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 #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    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??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    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

    Thanks everyone for the positive thoughts! I called them this AM to check the status and when I was on hold someone else was calling me to let me know to pick them up! So I was able to pickup my paperwork and I get to start BCP today so no delay at the moment! :)

    My RE was really impressed that I got them, I guess she's had a few patients switch and I was the first one to get it. I guess calling and sending multiple copies from the get go did the trick ;)

    Me: 29, DH: 30

    Dx: MFI; June '14 IVF w/ ICSI: 11R, 8M, 5F... 1 5dt, beta #1: 213, beta #2: 621, beta #3: 8545!
