my nurse cancelled my cycle because it falls on Thanksgiving is this normal?

I called my nurse at my RE's office to tell her my period was coming this weekend and how I was to proceed if it happened on the weekend. As far as bloodwork and ultrasounds go. I am supposed to start my injections of Follistim this month. I've had my last 3 cycles cancelled do to having a cyst.

She said oh.....your cylce is falling on Thanksgiving so we arem going to cancel it.

WHAT???
IS THIS NORMAL

SHE SAYS THEY WILL CANCEL ME IN DECEMBER TOO B/C OF CHRISTMAS??????????

HELLO???

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF CANCELLING CYCLES B/C THEY RUN INTO HOLIDAYS????

I'm paying for this and the medication I don't think it's fair to cancel a whole cycle b/c it runs into a holiday. She said there is always an on call doc there but that it's easier for them to cancel than chance them missing the holidays????

This seems wrong to me?

Where do you live? I have never heard of cancelling a cycle once it is started because of holidays. They may delay starting it, but should not delay it midcylce once you have started your medications. I am an OB/GYN and have just written a book for women just like you, and, actually, just like me. It is a novel, and not just another accounting of the medical facts. I think you will really be able to relate to the emotions. You can read the first page on www.ticktock.ws. I think even that little bit will make you feel less alone and, hopefully, you will read the whole book. I wrote it to make the whole process less scary for women just like you.

I have a wonderful RE. They are open 7 days a week, holidays etc. Holidays and weekends they are only open 8 - noon, but they are open so whatever you need done in your cycle you can have done. During the week they are open 6:30am - 6 pm. So often I go before work so I do not miss so much. I went on New Year's Day this year.
What state are you in? sounds like you need a better RE.

Ridiculous!! Perhaps you need to find a better RE. I would immediately call your RE, not the nurse and let them know what happened. Fertility clinics should be open at all times, since you never know what day your cycle is going to fall on. I'm shocked to even hear this happens!!
