Communication Error

It isn't so much fun to post on this blog lately.  But I'll update for historical purposes.
I spoke with my doctor about starting the next transfer attempt.  He said he's have his nurse get things rolling.  About 3 weeks later I call the nurse and ask how things are going and what is happening.  I found out that she never knew she was supposed to be doing anything so nothing was happening.  Somehow the message from the doctor never got to the nurse.  Now we get to wait an additional month to try again.  So now the count down is until January 9th(ish).
Oh, I also made a huge blunder myself.  The doctor suggested we ship my little frozen kiddos to Idaho to the other clinic where my doctor works and where Jane lives close by.  So I did.  Thankfully, the head embyologist himself was making the trip so he personally  transported them which was a huge relief since they are very sensitive to movement, noise, temperature changes, etc..  However, a few days after they arrived I realized that I have a financial contract with this ATTAIN company that is only good if we do the transfer in Utah.  I spent 2 days making phone calls and figured some ways to get all involved parties to compromise.  I had to go right to the top of the companies to get the approval, but I did it!  I was so nervous I was going to have to ship my embryos (and Jane) back to Utah to do it!  Oops on my part!

  1. I'm sorry, how lame is that. But way to be persistent on getting your compromises! We're excited to hear how it goes.
