things have gone from frustrating/concerning to downright annoying here. nurse finally called back at around half nine, and when i said AF hadn't arrived, she went "hmmm, well, for some people it does, others it doesn't" - wtf?? my fs GUARANTEED me she'd visit - he PROMISED that i'd get a period if i went on the Pill - otherwise, why the hell did i go on it. Nurse said that just wasn't the case and for some people AF just doesn't show up. grrrrrrrrrr. i'm not sure whether to believe her or the FS - i'm leaning towards thinking that neither of them have a damn clue how to manage a "difficult" patient (body wise). any way - nurse asked for me to go and get a BT (cos of course, i FELT like running around all over town) and if my levels were "flat" we'd start HRT tomorrow. Well - enter mega-p!ssed BG. My levels are ALWAYS flat - i TOLD the FS that - i TOLD him the pill wouldn't work - and now we're back where we would have been without the pill - except that i'm a few days behind where i really should be - AND i've had a month of hell to boot! not happy.

so, off to the chiro, into the jewellers to do a little job for DH - then back to the hospital for BT - and of course, i get a new staff member that couldn't "anchor" my vein - i have the best veins (or so i'm told) - i've had nurses able to anchor the vein without a tourniquet in the past! grrrr. results tomorrow - and probably start HRT straight after...

i asked about "alternate" ways to do FET - the ONLY options i have are a "natural" cycle (i don't o - so that one is out), a clomid cycle (i don't respond, so that one is out too) - or the HRT option - which i guess wasn't too scary til the nurse told me that both the HRT and progesterone pessaries would be continued until at least 10 weeks...i soooooooo hope i don't respond badly to the drugs...


oh yeah, the other thing - i did a ring around of the pharmacies where i can get progesterone pessaries - one is "local" to where i would be when i go for my u/s - so i figured if the price difference was minimal, i'd get them from there - well, i got quotes from Melbourne (about $85 for 34) - then from the local pharmacy - $208 for 34! they're flogging them at almost $16 per pessary! that is attrocious!!! i'll be faxing my script to Melbourne next week...
