Going through loops on my IF rollercoaster ride...

I talked to my nurse yesterday and she said that my RE said I could start stims tonight even without having the results from that blood work my hubby had to have last week. So, I go in today for an u/s and blood work and my coordinator gives me the go ahead to start tonight. Now, I get a call from my RE a few minutes ago telling me to hold on the Lurpon until Monday!!! WHAT?!?!?! She said she wants to wait longer to see if she gets the blood work results back. I expressed my concerns about being on Lupron for this long and she said she would leave it up to me to decide! I'm no RE!! I want to do what she says to do but this is a little ridiculous to tell me to hold off one day, then to start another, then to hold off again!!! So, she said she wanted to talk to the study coordinator first and someone would call me back. In the meantime, I called DH...he is FURIOUS!!!! We signed our paperwork back in April for this IVF and the RE "let" us do it. So, she's been well aware that we were in the process. It's not our fault the blood work wasn't ordered sooner. Granted, I don't want to proceed if there is something wrong with the results!! My options are cancelling and getting NO MONEY BACK (we paid $5500)...or going forward with starting stims tonight. If we get the results back before my ER and they're bad...we just stop!! And still get no money back!! If we get them back after my ER, we can freeze the embryos. But what good will that do if there's something wrong with them based on this blood work my DH had?!?! This is so cruel!!! They were apologetic and everything, but still!! How can they screw with us like this?!?!?! As it stands right now, I'm starting at 225 units of Gonal-F and 75 units of Luveris tonight. Since I've been suppressed for a longer period of time, they said I need to start off with a higher does of stims. Is this all going to be a downward spiral from here? I want to go into this positively and having a chance for success!! Could all of this make us unsuccessful?!?!?
