Supposed to start Letrozole but….
So I was supposed to start letrozole in 5 days.
Back story: My fertility clinic has made me jump thru so many hoops. I did a genetic screening with my husband. Turns out, I’m a carrier for limbal girdle muscular dystrophy. (My husband doesn’t have it. We don’t cross in any genetic conditions).
After meeting with my fertility doctor, she wanted me to get a genetic consultation.
Did that, learned nothing new. The genetic counselor said it’s not a big deal but it could potentially cause an enlarged heart. I had to pay $300 out of pocket because this dude didn’t take insurance. Whatever.
Go back to my fertility doctor, now I gotta go get a cardiac evaluation bc the genetic counselor recommended it.
So I go to my PCP, she tells me I need an EKG and echocardiogram. She does the EKG same day, results are normal. I have to wait two weeks for my echo. Finally get that done. Results are normal.
I go back to my fertility doctor thinking “Yay, she’s gonna send my meds to the pharmacy”
NOPE, now she wants me and my husband to sign some waiver before I get my meds. We have to be present in clinic to sign. Not allowed to docusign it.
This is all happening within a few weeks. I’m getting increasing more stressed bc I’m supposed to get my period on July 8th. That’s when I’d start my first cycle of Letrozole.
So this Wednesday I go in person, to the clinic to sign the waiver. Now we just gotta wait for my husband to sign. He has his own business and he can’t just take off. He decided to wait until Friday, his day off to go…..TURNS OUT THE CLINIC IS CLOSED TODAY! Must be nice. I work in the medical field as well and I don’t get the day off.
No worries. This would’ve all been fine. But we decided to go on vacation out of the state July 5th to July 12th.
So now I’m frustrated. I literally fast tracked all of these appointments and stupid tests so that I could get my meds and start them this cycle. But no, all the running around and fast tracking for nothing. I was so upset when I found out the clinic was closed I was literally shaking.
Anyway, thank you for letting me vent. My husband doesn’t think it’s a big deal bc “what’s one more month”
SURE WHATS ANOTHER MONTH AFTER YOUVE BEEN TRYING FOR 24 months.
