I ovulated. How on earth does this happen? Incompetence that's how.
I love how the nurse when she called told me I have very short cycles, as if it were my fault. I don't have short cycles. I ovulate on day 14 and once in a very blue moon on day 13. I have never, ever ovulated on day 12. I have a whole collection of charts that will prove this too. I feel like faxing them to her.
It seems that she was thinking she was talking to someone else. Someone who thinks that you ovulate by tripping over a doorstep or sneezing after smelling flowers. Ovulation as if the egg slipped out, oops! No, it's clearly incompetence on their part. I wish they would just admit it. "Listen we're completely incompetent and we're sorry. We can't do much about it but we feel really bad over here."
Dr. Stonehenge seemed surprised to see me this morning. "You're back?" "Yeah, I was told by the hospital to continue the Gonal-F for two more days." He looked confused "okay.." When I pressed him he backpedaled and said, "oh well they know best." After the ultrasound he was somber. I think he knew but wouldn't tell me.*
Someone dropped the ball, or in this case the EGG! My estradiol levels two days ago were at 276 which to me seems like ovulation considering ovulation is anywhere from 198-693. We were definitely in the zone. This morning my estradiol levels were at 137. No longer in the zone. Leaving the zone.
The nurse said "oh don't worry. We'll try it again next month." I hate it when they say that. And why the heck don't they ever say "I'm really sorry but..." or "I know this is hard to hear but..." or "you may want to grab a box of kleenex and sit down misschris because..." Why do they just act like they're delivering normal news instead of devastating news. WHY?
Okay, gee I don't even know why I'm worrying because after all there's always next month!
*I'm going to ream him for this next time. I will no longer be the passive patient. He could have let me know, creton!

So sorry Chris. It is ridiculous that you deal with such incompetence on a seemingly daily basis. It almost makes you wonder how anyone has success with IUI's or IVF's with the way they do things. It would be interesting to see their success rate~ although I wouldn't doubt they wouldn't be exactly accurate.
I hope things work out better in the upcoming month. I guess the only silver lining is that since you have "short" (ie normal cycles) cycles it won't take that long for your O date to come around again. I always have long cycles (about 40 days or so) so I would hate to deal with them~ I bet they would be confused!!
Take care,
Monnie
WTF? Chris, I am so sorry. And stunned.
Did you and Seb ignore the doctor and try on your own anyway?
((hugs))
Hi Monnie thanks you. You're right about my short cycles. My next cycle will get here pretty fast.
No Em we didn't and I'm really mad about that too. A perfectly good egg wasted! Oh well Seb wasn't even here but still next time I won't be so stupid. We'll try ourselves next time and I will start temping again. I feel more in control when I temp.
sorry about your cycle. if it makes you feel any better i just had an ivf cycle cancelled after 3weeks of lupron and 1 week of stims. so much time, energy, and emotional investment wasted.
is there any reason why your doctors aren't doing a estrogen/progesterone preparation for FET? i've had a few frozen transfers and using estrogen/progesterone takes away the problem of having to time ovulation.
Yes Rooster cancellations are always frustrating!! It's awful. I've had an IVF cancelled the day before trigger and I talked about that in my history on the sidebar & I said it was worse than any failure I'd ever had. The nice thing was that the next cycle I got my son. I know it can turn around fast.
I'm not sure why they do this type of protocol. I was curious why they didn't supress too. It just makes more sense. It's just so hard to ask questions with them!
I'm so sorry to hear you got cancelled. I have to say, I didn't quite understand your protocol but it sounds like you say somebody screwed up which must make it all the worse!
