Krista, I'll put you at the top of my prayer list.
Magda, I'm sorry you've had such a rough time. Don't you just HATE incompetence? Hope next month is better.

Hi ladies... Sorry that I've been MIA for so long. And forgive me if I sound a touch self-centered here and am not commenting on where you're all at but I've had a bit of a hellish day. In fact, I'd go so far as to saying that I spent my day wandering aimlessly through the seven level levels of h-e-l-l (don't know if that word's allowed or not!!).
Basically, I've missed the train.
I had to call this morning, before going in for the transfer, to find out how my embryos were doing and after a long and painful wait with several phone calls and no one telling me anything, I finally found out that the embryos are fine. Only problem is that the embryos are fine because they haven't been thawed because the f-u-c-k-i-n-g useless people in this country can't get anything right and as it turns out, they didn't have any un-expired thawing media.
So they ordered it and pushed my transfer to Wednesday despite the fact that I'd done a trigger shot last Thursday, in the hopes that the media would arrive from Denmark via DHL in that time. Of course, there was no way in h-e-l-l that anything could arrive in Damascus from Denmark via DHL in that period of time (DHL doesn't offer quite the same services in this part of the world).
And apprently tomorrow is too late.
So I quickly rang my other doctor in Beirut because they have 2 blasts on ice and I thought I could go do those. Keep in mind that my doctor here knew that that was the plan all along if the embryos here didn't survive the thaw. But apprently, because I did the trigger that long ago, tomorrow is wa-a-ay too late for a transfer. But, just to be sure, my doc in Beirut told me to go do a progesterone test now and to get back to him with the results and we'd see. I just called him with the result. My progesterone is now 18.6 and apparently a transfer tomorrow would be HIGHLY risky. According to him, even today would have been really very risky.
Now I don't know who to trust nor what to do. Granted, i can't do anything this month but for next month, I just don't know what to do. There's so much I don't understand. I mean, the doctor here... ok, he screwed up. If he'd told me, we could have gone to Beirut ourselves and brought him the media rather than waiting for it to arrive from frigging Denmark!!! But even if we'd got the media... why wouldn't he have had me do another blood test yesterday to be sure that it was still okay rather than risking the embryos?? Or is the doctor in Beirut too conservative and could today have been just fine? I feel so at a loss and I just don't know what to do.
I have to do a ton of research now to find out just how long the shelf life of this media is to know if he was nuts not to have ordered it 2 or 3 weeks back and I need to know what the safe range is with regards to progesterone and I need to know what the normal window of time is for a transfer after a trigger and on Saturday we're going to go see him and DH is going to ask him to explain so we can see if he tells us the same thing the research tells us or if he's going to crucify himself by lying to us.
That said, I know that IVF isn't an exact science so I don't know if this bits of information I need to research are absolutes or if different doctors/clinics go with different levels and time frames and all that ****.
Whatever... I need to go nap.
Juanna, I think I caught that you got a BFP! Am I right?? If I am, I am truly so VERY happy for you. And thanks so much for your pm.
Sally and Helen, thanks for your messages too.
