End of my tether...

I just had the phone call from Guy's.  They aren't happy doing the egg collection on Friday and as they don't do it at weekends we have to wait until Monday.  My ovaries may explode before then - I feel huge already.

This means I need to go back to work for the next 2 days and book off Monday and Tuesday the following week.  I was hoping to have the weekend to recover as well but it's not to be as it'll be the beginning of the week and I'll be back at work on Wednesday.

The real kicked in this situation is that, for the third time out of 4 appointments in the last fortnight, our usual PGD nurse was not there today.  Another nurse did my scan and told me that if I wasn't listed for egg collection on Friday it would be Saturday (the Assisted Conception Unit in Sheffield works 6 days a week).  As Guy's do not work 6 days a week it will be Monday and we now only have enough medication to keep us going until Saturday.

Saturday night will be the trigger shot so that's the last injection and I have enough Gonal F for tonight, tomorrow and Friday.  I however only have enough Cetrotide for tomorrow and Friday morning and I will need one on Saturday morning.  This means that this afternoon I have to do the 100 mile round trip to Sheffield AGAIN to pick up a prescription due to their oversight.  ALS is currently on the phone to them trying to get them to send the prescription over to Derby so I can pick it up locally but they're not keen...  so much for not putting yourself through any stress.

We will just have to wait and see!



UPDATE 1.9.16

Fortunately a very kind consultant in Derby, whom I work for, sorted out my prescription for me so we did not have to go to Sheffield.  I could have hugged him!
