Update: No stimming yet, RE office annoyance

FutureMrsWright2012

Well, the lab work that we've been waiting for came back today, and we're still not ready to get started with stimming just yet (hope was to start today). I have another med that I will need to start to keep working on my TNF, which is still too low. 

As a side note, I'm learning that my RE (who I love) has less than stellar office staff, and my multiple conversations over the phone with the IVF "coordinator" have been beyond annoying. First, I got a phone call from the girl on Monday telling me there was no way that I would be able to start stimming this week (Friday) because the lab I had drawn on the previous Thursday would not be back in time. Considering that RE indicated to us that it would be, we were kind of annoyed, but whatever. I can't make the lab get the report back to the RE any faster. So, I heard nothing all week, until this evening. The conversation started with the same girl telling me that she was confused because my chart said I am supposed to start stimming TODAY. I had to remind her of our conversation on Monday about how she told me my labs wouldn't be back in time. Dumb... Then, she tells me about this new med that I'm going to be starting on and that I should take it until we do the trigger shot... Umm... Hello? I'm on BCP right now, why on earth would I need to do a trigger shot? Then, her response to my confusion was, "you'll take this medication until we tell you to stop". Oy vay... I just keep reminding myself that the RE is wonderful and I trust him because otherwise I think I'm going to go crazy. 

Sorry this has become such a long post, I just needed to vent my frustration. Oddly enough, I'm more annoyed with that girl than I am about the fact that my body doesn't want to cooperate. Thanks for listening, if you made it to the end. :P

I would be sure to let the re know all this when you see her next. It's really important for her to know that her staff isn't documenting conversations the way they should and that they're really not on top of it. Remember he name.

That sucks. I LOVE my nurses....in fact, I get sad when I don't have a reason to go to the RE on a regular basis, because that means I can't see them. 

Also, I would be asking to have the RE call you personally, or scheduling a consult with him.  IVF is stressful enough, and you need to be able to depend on the nurses/staff to be able to convey to you EXACTLY what you need to do when you need to do it.

Thank you both for your thoughts. I will make sure to keep that in mind moving forward.

I'm sorry their staff doesn't love up to how awesome your RE is. I hope you can all get on the same page soon so you can move forward.

I agree with @aimothy 100%.  You do not need to extra stress of dealing with someone who clearly doesn't know what she is doing.  I'd ask to only speak to your RE from here on out.

I agree with everyone you definitely need to inform the RE of all this. I'm sure your RE would want to know that the staff is making this already difficult and stressful process harder for you.
Hope everyone can get on the same page soon! Good luck!
