Work is hard work

Feeling a bit down today.

Had a call from one of the IVF nurses to say I should keep going with all the meds as per normal for now but I will only need a blood test on Friday, not an ultrasound. When I asked why she said my oestrogen levels aren't as high as they'd like, so there's probably not much to look at yet. Therefore I'll probably have the scan on the Monday instead. I'm disappointed because they'd originally estimated at the start of my cycle that I'd be having the egg retrieval on Monday. Looks like I'm behind the eight ball already :-(

I'm also disappointed because I finally told my boss about everything & had to give her an idea of dates I'd need off for egg collection & transfer. My job is really inflexible & the rosters are written a couple of weeks in advance, so I can't really change my RDOs without inconveniencing others in my department. I know if you're "sick" you're sick but I still stress about it. And I didn't want to draw attention to myself by changing around the rosters. My colleagues might start asking questions. Damn it!
