Now I'm angry!

I was in this morning for my u/s and b/w and I saw on my chart "1.3 cm cyst" from my Monday u/s. Why wouldn't they tell me I had a cyst when they gave me my results? I went in to talk to the cycle monitoring nurse. I asked her why the u/s techs kept asking me if I had PCOS or if I was on metaformin and she said it was because I have numerous follicles which is an indication. She said "PCOS as you're calling it".... with attitude. She said I need to "get used to them asking those questions" and if I have any concerns about PCOS I should talk to my Doctor, also with attitude. I flat out asked how I was supposed to know if there was something wrong to even ASK the questions if I'm not being told in my results that there is something I should be concerned about. Should I be hearing this from the u/s technicians? She actually said... "well if that's what they're saying you should speak to your dr.".... WTH!!!!!! So the 80+ transvaginal u/s and blood draws taken over the past 12 months have not given my RE the information she needs to mention there may be a problem???? I guess I have to go an ask her on a hunch or worse yet based on information that I'm not supposed to be relying on. There is a huge sign in the room that says "u/s technicians are legally not permitted to give results". I wonder if there is a small print that says they will give a diagnosis when your RE is ignoring you?
I've had problems for ages with this clinic and I keep going back because it's just easier than being wait listed for a new one. Plus I know another couple on here used them and had such a good experience. I keep wondering what is wrong, why am I not being treated the same way? To make matters even worse is the fact that we're starting to question if there is something wrong just as we're heading in to using a KD. Knowing that there could be a problem and that they are not telling me makes me feel like they do not care at all. If they did they wouldn't let me spend thousands of dollars... unless all I am to them is another patient to make them money.
I was able to book a Doctor's appointment with my family doctor tomorrow and I'm asking to switch clinics!!

PCOS?

I just heard from the clinic and my follicles are not growing and they mentioned canceling my cycle if things are not "progressing" by Wednesday. I'm not upset yet because they said the same thing last time and I made a rebound. However.. if it does get canceled I'm going to be pretty miffed. They won't store my vials at the clinic. I've paid $100 twice shipping this vial back and forth. If it goes back and I need to send it to the clinic again it will be $300 in shipping for one try! Not to mention the fact my boys are really putting in the mileage with UPS.

I may be getting myself into a bit of a panic here but I saw "PCO" in large letters written across my chart this morning.I think I have PCOS. The u/s techs have made comments more than once implying it but I've never been told by my RE that there is a problem. I'm also a bit worried that Clomid has messed up my system. I used to have very text book ovulation and now it's all over the place. I'm so frustrated that I'm forever going to be on try #6. I really wanted this to be my month.

CD 14

I had b/w and u/s this morning and I have 3 follicles but they're only 10mm, 10mm, 11mm. Hopefully all three grow at the same rate. Since today is CD14 I guess I'm having another long cycle. bleh. the good news is I do not have to go back in until Monday so I get to sleep in tomorrow!
We've decided we are not going to use our KD this month. The sperm may be free with our KD but we'll have lawyer fees and we'll need to do a second parent adoption - which we do not have to do for our anonymous donor in Ontario. If we get pregnant this cycle (which we want to, of course) we'll buy up a good batch for #2 and if we don't we'll use our KD moving forward. If we need to go the KD route I'm going to be a total newbie again since we won't have cycle monitoring anymore. I'll need to figure this all out on my own! I'm not going to worry about that yet because THIS is the cycle I'm going to get my BFP!!!

Our Donor (#3)

We've switched it up again this time and have bought the ID release donor. I feel like I'm really getting around. I've been with 3 guys (sperm) this year! Gross!

Anyhoo... here is our new donor. He has 1 chance to be the one becuase after this we're moving on to a known donor. I'm hoping and praying it works this time!!

CD 8

I went in this morning for CD 8 b/w and u/s and then spent the ENTIRE day waiting for my call. I was hoping to hear my follicle count but instead I was told they were still small. bleh. Not a very exicting update!! DW and I have decided that if this try doesn't work we're going to stop going to the clinic and start ICI with a KD. I've run out of insurance money so this try is costing us $1700 out of pocket and we're starting to feel a financial strain. I would really prefer to go to the poor house AFTER we have kids, not before.

Good to go!

I just got my call and I'm clear to go this cycle! I'm so happy! I was told to start taking my Clomid TODAY which is day 3 but my perscription says to take it day 5-9. I'm going to have to go home and back out again tonight to get it filled. They have me back again on Monday for another u/s so I know they are not confused about when I should start. When I was on Clomid days 5-9 they had me back in on the 10 so the timing works out the same. Strange but OK as long as I'm in this cycle!
