Christ on a cracker, my clinic will simply not give me a break! Mere moments ago I received a phone call from the pharmacy about the prescription that was just faxed over for my next round of IUI meds. The IUI cycle that will never happen because if we do end up with a BFN on Monday we are switching to IVF and our RE knows this. We have, in fact, scheduled a consulation on the 24th to discuss this very thing. I told the pharmacy to put the order on hold while I called the clinic.
Fortunately, considering it is the first sunny Friday afternoon since May, a nurse was actually still at the clinic and picked up my call. She looked into my file and was appropriately surprised when she saw that I hadn't even had my beta yet. After a little more investigation, she explained that someone had verified that I had insurance coverage for another IUI cycle which automatically triggers a medication order. Once I explained that we were switching to IVF, she quickly said she would cancel the prescription order and put a note in my file. She even apologized, which was nice since she isn't the IUI nurse that I usually deal with and so was in no way culpable for the error.
I am a little irritated, not that I was inconvenienced in any real way, but that I am so clearly a number and not a face at my clinic. There is no personalized attention being paid to our particular situation, no one is trying to address our particular flavor of infertility, we are just chugging along the ART assembly line with everyone else.
