I don't ever remember life being this complicated? My entire 4 years of college suddenly seem easier than acquiring IVF meds. Now I need to have my doctorate and pharmacological degree to figure all this out and deal with the "professionals".
Here is the story: After my last appointment I was told the pharmacy would be calling...they never did. So I called. Like I had mentioned my protocal had changed at the last minute so that my trigger shot to help me ovulate would be lupron NOT Ovidrel. The first thing I told her was that I didn't need the Ovidrel if it was even on the perscription. She said are you sure????...Then I doubted myself and called the clinic and left a message. The clinic called back to confirm...NO Ovidrel and they sent an updated prescription. So I called the pharmacy and she immediately said...Got the new prescription we are all set. Problem solved??? Yea right!!
Obviously you need to sign when FedEx delivers over $3,100 worth of meds so I worked from home Friday morning to get the delivery. It is almost noon and nothing...11:45 I get an email..."Sorry we missed you..." WTF!!! No knock? No doorbell? Did this guy sneak up to the door. Ugh so I callex FedEx. The meds could be delivered now after 4:00. Ok off to work and now we have to be past all these screw ups right? Nope.
I get home from work, the FedEx man shows up...I give him a glare (which he didn't notice). I open up my meds. like it is Christmas morning (yea right) and what is the first thing I pull out? The mother f#%&%# Ovidrel!?!?
You have got to be kidding me. So it is 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and I have to call the pharmacy and after a short nasty conversation run to the post office to send back the f@#%% Ovidrel. So that was my day. How was yours?
