I am pretty irritated tonight. After my appt yesterday, we stayed at my in-laws because today we had to be at the airport to pick up my mom. We got home this afternoon around 5 PM and there was a message on my machine from their office telling me to take 75 IU LAST NIGHT! I was pissed off because before I left there yesterday, the nurse said specifically to take 50 IU for three days and then return the 19th for monitoring. So of course being out of town last night, I took 50 IU. Now they are not open until tomorrow.
I have decided to take 75 IU tonight and call them in the morning to tell them I didn't get the message until today. The nurse down there never said they were going to call with different instructions, so I never thought to check my voice mail at home for a message. They did have me in and out of there fast - I had a blood draw then within 5 minutes had my U/S. The nurse sits in the room for the U/S, and she gave me my instructions for meds, gave me an order for Tuesday's monitoring, and told me I could leave.
I know they gave me instructions without estradiol results because they don't get processed that fast. That means when they got the results I was already gone, the doctor was probably called, and then they called me to say that "Dr. ___ wants to change your medications..." That's annoying - they try to act like it was the doctor's fault. I think it's irresponsible for the nurse I saw to give me instructions on medications without first seeing my estradiol and then talking to my doctor.
I just had to vent. That irks me that they leave a message and don't bother to reach me. Hopefully this one day lag in meds won't screw up my cycle. We'll see what they say tomorrow.
