Set Back

Well, I heard back from the clinic today and it wasn't the greatest news...My estradiol level wasn't high but it wasn't as low as they would like it. They want me to continue to take my current meds, Lupron and Dexamethasone, and return next Thursday morning for another ultrasound and blood test. By then, they hope that the meds have totally dissolved the remains of that cyst and my estradiol levels are down. So it's basically a one week set back. Everything, including our retrieval and transfer dates are now pushed back, again, one more week. That would put our tentative retrieval date at February 18th and the transfer 3-5 days after that.

So, here's the problem...Originally, we thought all of this was going to be in January. So, we made sure that our schedules were pretty clear. Then it got pushed back and scheduled for beginning to middle of February and we then cleared those weeks on our schedules. Jack has things in his work schedule now for the weeks of February 16th and February 23rd that he just can't push back anymore. He cannot miss the things that are in his schedule those 2 weeks. So, now what???

I'll have to call the clinic first thing tomorrow morning and see what we can figure out. I'm thinking now we will be looking into March. But, I don't know where that puts me with my meds. I don't know if I'll have to go back on the pill and then repeat the whole process or if they would just have me stay on Lupron until then. Who knows? It's such a disappointment. If I didn't have that darn cyst this would not be an issue.
