Another update

This morning I got a call that my grant meds should be arriving at the clinic today and I can pick them up anytime. She wanted to verify that I only needed 1200 IU's because I could get up to 3000 with the grant, but they all have to be ordered at the same time. I had no clue what to tell her because I had no idea that my meds had been ordered! I called the nurse at the clinic just to clarify and we have it all straightened out. Apparently since this is an order directly from the manufacturer they didn't know how long it would take to get shipped and they didn't want to risk it not getting here in time. So my meds are sitting in their fridge and I pick them up Tuesday when I go back. The Lupron, Menopur, and Progesterone will be ordered in a few days and I pick them up or have them delivered on my birthday most likely. Happy Birthday to me!

My nurse is so sweet and I just love her. My doctor is a little scatter brained (but very smart and good at what he does) so it's a good thing his staff is amazing and keeps him organized. I honestly don't know how she does it. She told me that I'm her favorite patient and that I'm always her favorite to call because I'm just so pleasant. I learned a long time ago that when dealing with these places it is a good idea to be nice to everyone because you are going to be speaking to them a lot and they will always call you back sooner if you're not a crazy bitch that they dread talking to. Getting all nuts about dates, calendars, and paperwork doesn't get you anywhere. If I have a question I call and ask, but for the most part I just let them do their jobs and know that they will let me know when they need something from me. I think it just makes everyone's life easier.

  1. I seriously felt like I saw those people at the reproductive med clinic more than I saw any of my friends. It was SO WEIRD walking out of that clinic for the last time, after being there anywhere from 3-8 times every single month for 2 1/2 years. You kind of feel like family after awhile...
