Thanks for the feedback Wyzecat, its really helpful stuff. The communication today took a huge dip down. My assistant is Virginia and she has been great but today was a shambles.
Dr Castillo was supposed to phone at 12.45. Im a dentist and I work full time. So I rearranged my clinic, at very short notice, to make sure I had my lunch break at the time of the call.
So I went out to the car park and sat in the car for the call, because I don't want work to overhear and work out whats going on. But the call didn't come. Dr Costillo was running late. Eventually the call did come at almost 1.15, by which time I was watching my first patient walk into the clinic.
So a rather hasty call with Dr Costillo revealed that only 2 of the eggs are genetically normal. I dont know what is normal with genetic testing, but I was hoping for more than 50%.
Re meds he wants me on all the lubion, progynova etc, and also heparin injections this time around. But the thing that really hacked me off was that he started talking about some trans-vaginal drug that was to be administered by my GP, a few days prior to the transfer. Since the days before transfer day include Xmas day, boxing day, and a Sunday, thats impossible!!! So it was then swiftly agreed to proceed without this additional trans-vaginal drug.
But it leaves me in a position where I wonder whether the whole thing should just be called off until Xmas is over. I would be gutted. I have miraculously been given the required annual leave, the issue with the covid test has miraculously been overcome and there are some flights that I can take that get me out to Spain and back without incurring a 20 hour journey.
God, its just one thing after another. Do I go for it without doing this trans-vaginal drug and hope for the best? Or hold off until next month and throw the kitchen sink at it? Tired and fed up tonight.
But on a positive note, Bailey, thats marvellous news to cheer me up. I will keep everything crossed that a good number fertilise and reach the lovely blast stage.
Love_Lucy, I'm so pleased that you're feeling a little better. It sounds like a mid December cycle is maybe a bit ambitious if your period hasn't shown its face yet, but I really hope that I'm wrong there.
