Hello, went for my scan this morning and something awkward happened which I thought I'd rant about/ share. There's a tiny waiting room in the IVF clinic and this woman came in WITH HER TWO CHILDREN!
One was a toddler of about 2 and a half, the other one a baby of 1 year-ish. I was quite furious & gave her a filthy look, she was not fussed in any way
. The worst bit was that many who went to go into that waiting room after her froze in their tracks & did a U turn the second they saw that. The result was that by the time we left, most people waiting were sat or stood in the corridor. Even my DH who is very calm and unwilling to get wound up, acknowledged the incident, though he changed the subject very quickly to stop me going into a rage I suspect!
I have to admit that I did consider walking out of the waiting room but then I thought that'd be really immature, as would (probably) complaining to the nurses. After all, what can they do? I'm not sure it would be reasonable of the nurses to tell her not to bring the kids, but on the other hand am I being harsh thinking that she's being an insensitive b*#% by bringing them in the first place? After all, many women there could be having counselling or be facing a very likely scenario of a life without children, I'm not sure most people were ok with those children being there?
I don't always want to be the one who complains (and honestly, I usually am!), but am I right to be outraged by this woman's behaviour or am I being a fascist?
All I can think is WTF? Also I don't think I was the only one who felt like this seen the amount of people who preferred to wait in the corridor...?
What are your thoughts about this?
Anyway... Bloods results were ok but the clinic rang to say I can't start stimming till Saturday because they are too busy?!
Apparently they can't have everyone triggering & going for ER at the same time. Fair enough and I know it will come round soon enough, but yet another time where I have to sit around waiting for no reason in particular which is so frustrating.
The only 'good' news is I got a date for my 1st stimming blood test, which is Thursday 26th, and the 1st scan will be Sat 28th or Sun 29th. Fingers crossed that I'll be allowed to trigger soon after that. Looks like ER + ET will be early February.
Blood test on the 26th is at 7.30/8 am so I won't miss any work at all
Anyway, the delay with stimming means I get an extra 4 days of jabbing Buserelin. Lucky me!!
Hope everyone else has had a better day. The network has been down all afternoon in work so it's been a boring day for me. Good luck for DR to PG and for follie scan to Samba!
Traskey, I've forgotten when yours is? Good luck with it too!
Wallie, thanks for the baby panda video, seen it before but it's just superb
Sophie, definite

to all xx
