Yay Mindi! I'm glad you had a good vacation. I'm looking forward to the three day vacation myself!! Not only will I get a chance to relax, but it means that my co-worker will be back from his vacation and I won't be doing the work of two people anymore!
Deej, sorry I didn't answer your HPT question... I think most tests work within 2 days before your AF day, but if you don't have regular cycles then it's a bit wonky getting the timing right. I'd say wait til after AF was due. Since it was a late attempt this month and it sounds like you haven't really had much TWW anxiety, then why waste the money? I get the POAS addiction but I say resist the urge and just wait it out...that way, if it is a BFP it'll be like a super huge surprise and if it isn't, it'll be no big deal.
Ok, I am going to vent now because I am so mad I could chew bricks. My RE is awesome and very thorough and as I said before, she wants three things before we have our consult to go over the IUI approach: 1. an u/s from my radiologist, 2. me to go to a consult session about using DS, and 3. a letter from my gyn/oncologist.
I was able to see the radiologist almost immediately but the other two are proving a major challenge. The darned therapist just needs to actually call me back and I hate waiting, but gyn/oncologist is especially frustrating...
I called her office right away when I found out I needed a letter. They said they'd ask her and get back to me, but never did. I called again yesterday asking to schedule an appointment because I was pretty sure my doc would want one before she wrote the letter and I got all sorts of flack and they said they'd call me back that afternoon but never did. So this morning I called and went through the whole drama again and they said they'd call me in the afternoon...here it is afternoon and no phone call, so I called them. Well I finally spoke to the lady I originally talked to who never called me back and as predicted, my doctor wants to see me before she'll write the letter. Well, they said they'd have to get my records out of storage because I hadn't seen her in a few years, and then they said they wouldn't be able to see me for TWO MONTHS because "pursuing pregnancy isn't an emergency". I was SO mad... this is why I haven't seen her in so long... they schedule their appointments like 3 months out and expect you to be able to keep the appointment. I don't know what I am doing one week from now let alone in 3 months! So I was kinda upset.
Anyway, I'm just stressing now because of this stupid cyst being bigger and more complex than what the stupid old RE said. I even did some reading and a septated cyst can't be aspirated (or "sucked out") as he had suggested so now I am steaming wondering what the he** he was thinking, especially given my medical history! At 4cm large it's right at the point where they usually want to remove it, especially since it is considered to be "persistent" since it's been there since at least April. So I am now walking a fine line between the docs saying watch and wait and wanting to do surgery.
URGH! I am still steaming over what the stupid office person said... not having a very positive day over here.
