I should be pissed. This IVF is a failure and is being converted into an IUI, but at the moment I don't care. What? The Hubs and I triggered last night and we go in for the "catheter dance" tomorrow morning. I've got about four or five follicles, but only one really big one. Witch Doc, thought she could get one blast out of that, but understood it wouldn't be worth risking our IVF insurance on it. So, IUI it is.
Now the surgeon...Whew! My appointment was at 11:30am. His office is an hour drive from my home, without traffic. We got there at 11am, fill out papers, get comfy and then....DUDE IS NOT IN THE OFFICE. His staff claimed he was in emergency surgery. (uh huh Sure!) They asked us to return at about 12:30, but at 12ish, I got a call saying it will be closer to 1pm. I got UPSET and cancelled the damn appointment, but my level-headed husband made me call them back and reverse that decision. UGH! However, I let them know that it was totally unprofessional for them not to call us ahead of time. I understand emergency surgeries, but that is why surgeons hire a staff. It is the staff's duty to make sure all meetings are cancelled and all impacted parties are notified. They apologized, but it didn't change the fact that this mess turned into a 6 hour doctor visit.
The Surgeon never touched me. His niece, who is a doctor, examined me. She explained how they would do the procedure very thoroughly and she was actually quite nice and contrite about being late. We didn't see the Surgeon, until about 4! He was also apologetic, but here's the thing: I wanted to see him, so I could hate him and NOT have to worry about this surgery anymore. I did NOT hate him. He was very pleasant, confident and appeared honest.
I left confused and cried in the car. It wasn't the "woe-is-me" cry. It was more like the "what-the-hell-am-I-supposed-to-do" cry. *sigh*
Anyway, I'm glad I took the day off work for those shenanigans because I was a mess. I thought I would get really sad, and there were moments when I almost did, but my husband kept working with me. In the end, I was ok. All in all, it was a good day.
Now back to the IUI. WHAT IN THE HELL? What am I supposed to do with a damn IUI? It is like a really bad joke, right? I can't wait until Saturday. I am going to drink so many mojitoes that I may just sleep at the bar.

Man, that sounds like a tremendously crappy day to end off a disappointing cycle. I would have been just as pissed as you, since I can't stand lateness and bad communication. I'm really hoping that you have at least one great egg in there.
ReplyDeleteAramis, I kept thinking, "what have I done wrong to the universe?" Somehow, I managed NOT to go to sleep unhappy and I was very happy about that.
DeleteHow obnoxious! They definitely should have let you know so you could plan. And that totally sucks that he ended up being un-hateable. Those people are the worst. I know you don't seem very confident, but I really hope this IUI works for you!
ReplyDeleteugh that sucks about the all day doctors appt. i'd be super pissed too. glad you told them they were unprofessional! hope you have success on this IUI!
