Just about at my wits end with this clinic

Well I have just had the worst ordeal with my clinic. On Wednesday I started feeling really sick with the worse headache and feeling quite nauseated to the point I thought I might have had to go to the DR's. I called the clinic to tell them and they sort of shrugged it off. I knew the only thing that had changed was me taking Progynova but it didnt make me feel this way last time. I decided to look at my drug order sheet and compare it to the instruction sheet given to me by one of the nurses and the silly woman had written the wrong dosage on there. I had been taking more than double the dose and obviously producing my own estrogen as well throwing my body into overdrive :|....this wasnt the only problem as i was tracking this cycle of course now all my BT results were going to be out of whack and not true readings. I have written a letter of complaint to the CEO as this shit shouldnt be happening...doesnt matter how big or small the mistake it can have a HUGE bearing on a cycle. I am not only thinking about myself but everyone else who goes to that clinic and more importantly to me Rach....being a 1st time donor I would expect my donor to feel comfortable having everything explained well to her making it as easier as possible. This is not the first mistake this clinic has made ...stuffing up our whole donor cycle last DEC not calling with results its a freaking joke atm :(  Since the mistake I have had nurses calling me up apoligising..the one today said that the instructions sheets were a disaster ready to happen and they were sorry it came at a price of me feeling so sick ....I guess at the end of the day Im lucky it was only a medicated tracking cycle and not our real cycle. As soon as I went back down to the normal dosage my headache went away and I have been feeling ok again :)

Medicated tracking cycle

And so the Blood tests start again :)\

20th Nov : Day 1
21st Nov: Day 2...start Proynova 2 tablets daily
28th Nov: Day 9...start taking 4 Progynova a day

29th Nov: Day 10 Blood Test
EST: 880
LH: 15
PROG: 1.4
Well I guess there is a difference with taking Progynova as this time last cycle my estrogen was 620 so quite a big jump :)

30th Nov: Day 11 Blood Test
EST: 1000
LH: 22
PROG: 1.3
So today I havent been feeling so well very bad headache and feeling sick in tummy. Later in the evening I decided that I would compare my drug order sheet from FS to the instruction sheet the nurse gave me and guess why I have been feeling quite ill.....THE NURSE HAS WRITTEN DOUBLE THE DOSE ON MY INSTRUCTION SHEET. So I have been overdosing on the crap...i totally lost it crying thinking how bloody stupid can these nurses be im guessing this has screwed up my medicated tracking cycle too as every result will be based on the double the dose :( I am headng into clinic tomorrow to give them what for. So upset and pissed off with this.


1st Dec: Day 12 Blood test & scan
EST:660
LH:32
PROG:1.6
LINING: 10mm 
FOLLICLE: 10mm
These result are all freaking weird 

2nd Dec: Day 13 
EST: 1100
LH: 22
Prog: 0.7
Nurse said they are going to dismiss yesterdays results as if you take them out of the equation the rest of my results are looking good. I asked the nurse what were we trying to achieve on this cycle...I think basically my FS wants to see if I can just use Progynova  and not Synarel as well so far with the scan and BT it looks as if they can control when I ovulate which is a good thing :) Have to be in Sync with my donor :)

3rd Dec: Day 14 
EST: 885
LH: 17
PROG:1.7

this cycle has been canned due to my levels fluctuating to much :(

1 month down 2 to go :)

Well thats 1 month down for the cooling off period Yay :) Im sure the other months will fly by just as fast being so busy and all :) Today is day 1 of my medicated tracking cycle so start progynova tomorrow another woohoo :) Be curious just how different my levels will be on meds again considering my natural levels were all beautiful. Another busy week here for me with work and my small business..orders coming through every day. Thanksgiving is on Thursday our biggest dinner of the year lol I take a whole day off work to cook :lol:

1 cycle down :)

My next cycle which should start in the next couple of days as I have had some spotting today will be a medicated cycle, using all the drugs I am usually on for a donor cycle except for Synarel. Progynova, Progesterone Pessaries and Pregnyl will be the drugs I will be using.

In the last couple of days I have had a few moments asking myself why we are doing all of this again....its so hard, plus my donor has just told me that she will be breastfeeding for a little longer. This upset me for a short time but I through myself  in the shower and told myself to stop feeling this way...specially when I told her from the start there will be no pressure from us about the whole breatsfeeding thing....I guess it just through me a little and im cool about it now :) Oh why are we going through all of this again?????..............BECAUSE WE WOULD JUST LOVE TO HAVE A LITTLE BUBS TO HELP US COMPLETE OUR LITTLE FAMILY :)

Why do I do it to myself :|

Ok so today I had the stupid urge to POAS even though getting PG naturally is so far out of the question. I have been extremely tired lately something I never complain about so I thought maybe someone upstairs has given me a miracle....well of course it was a negative...didnt matter what angle I bloody held it to that light it was CLEARLY a Negative...... why I wasted my money on a silly PG test :|

I guess there is no harm in thinking that maybe just maybe we could be that urban legend...tried for so long then BAM we get PG naturally oh wouldn't that be nice. So now im feeling miserable ARRRRRRRGH :(

Just an update on Rachel my donor too.....she has decided to breast feed for a little longer so it looks like we could be cycling further into the middle of next year....this upset me a little but at the same time I know what breastfeeding means to her so I dont want to add pressure. Whats a few more months right. I just wish I was normal times like these i just want to be NORMAL!
