The whole waiting-on-calls business is so humiliating at times (besides just being maddening). It makes my dating days ("will he call? will he call?") seem like such a picnic in comparison.peesticksandstoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194814462876179308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-5748006411073205052008-07-11T11:56:00.000-07:002008-07-11T11:56:00.000-07:00I agree with the other ladies here.

It sounds like you have some good doctors and nurses there on your side, and I hope you get to deal with them more than the non-calling asshats. I wish you the very best for your cycle!Mallorynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914993188185068883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-33044338232103843372008-07-10T15:09:00.000-07:002008-07-10T15:09:00.000-07:00Glad it all turned out ok!Glad it all turned out ok!Iohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918928563224342054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-19147561424817555522008-07-10T13:18:00.000-07:002008-07-10T13:18:00.000-07:00Dude.

I seriously would have driven my ass up there and banged on the door until someone answered. That would have gotten me nowhere, I'm sure, but the thing is, you are absolutely right that THEY OWE YOU THE COURTESY OF A PHONE CALL. <BR/><BR/>I hatehatehatehatehate when I call or email someone for business reasons and they take their sweet fucking time calling me back. It really, REALLY makes me angry. Which is why I ALWAYS set expectations about how long something will take, and if I can't meet those expectations, I let someone know right away. At the very least, I attempt to give people the courtesy of a "I'll-catch-you-tomorrow-no-time-for-today", you know? <BR/><BR/>And yeah, Io is right. You just laid 20-some-odd THOUSAND DOLLARS on the line. You bought as many damn phone calls as you'd like. <BR/><BR/>And I want to punch that "God's Way" nurse in the fucking gut. What an ass. <BR/><BR/><BR/>By the way, if one wanted to mail you a card or something, is there a place where you would feel comfortable receiveing said card? And if so, is there a way that you would communicate the address to one, even if that "one" is a sketchy asshole such as myself? I mean, if you were willing, you could email it to me at mcfarland.kate@gmail.com...katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056463808792013011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-44881795230860847962008-07-10T10:56:00.000-07:002008-07-10T10:56:00.000-07:00They said they would call and they didn't. You ha...They said they would call and they didn't. You have the right to expect they will do what they say. I don't think I like new nurse either. How can someone say that? My RE's nurses all have personal experience with various aspects of IF, I think that makes the a bit more understanding.<BR/><BR/>Here's to your new cycle.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804206770898071326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-40232670515508521742008-07-10T08:23:00.000-07:002008-07-10T08:23:00.000-07:00I totally agree with Io.

Plus I don't believe in overreacting about stuff this important - you're just reacting, having your feelings. There's no law anywhere (is there, KALC?) that says you have to be calm and rational and equanimous and accepting all the time, especially when the stakes are as high as they are with IF treatment. I'm glad you emailed your RE and that they appear to have heard you. Even if New Nurse is a bit of a twat.annacyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461037288546901657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-83476890695915271352008-07-10T07:10:00.000-07:002008-07-10T07:10:00.000-07:00Infertility is God's way of giving you a chance to...Infertility is God's way of giving you a chance to have a rest before having a child?!?<BR/><BR/>It doesn't matter how many times you may have been through it before, starting a cycle of IVF is always stressful. If your clinic says they will call you, then you have to have faith that that is in fact what they will do. If not, then they deserve to have kick ass lawyer chick come and kick their asses!<BR/><BR/>I hope that you manage to get hold of them this morning.Ms Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404067891155971103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-22468549425395163732008-07-10T07:06:00.000-07:002008-07-10T07:06:00.000-07:00Ah, I hate when I second guess myself after a mome...Ah, I hate when I second guess myself after a moment of self-rightous indignation. It's so much better to hold on to the fury, instead of having both fury and sudden doubt.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure it will be fine. Here's why I know so:<BR/><BR/>1. You just wrote a check for HOW much? Right. You are OWED a freaking phone call.<BR/><BR/>2. Your doctor is used to dealing with crazy hormonal infertile wenches. If he/she can't handle a justifiably upset email, then he/she is in the wrong field of medicine.<BR/><BR/>3. Um, bitches said they would call. They didn't. The doctor shdoul know shen his/her staff is f-ing up.<BR/><BR/>Just my three cents. I'd have probably run into the office this morning, pivoting my arm at the elbow, snapping and hollering "Oh HEEEELLLLLL no!" So in the grand scheme of things an email doesn't sound so bad. And you can always apologize.Iohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918928563224342054noreply@blogger.com
