[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those nasty, thoughtless automatons at SG--they called today and I was able to answer, I asked the nurse about attrition from 26 to 15, she said that the weekends are very rushed and sometimes they don't count them all but that the donor had not lost follicles and her estrogen was looking good.

I told her that they should SAY that they didn't count them all, rather than leaving such incomplete information, she laughed (LAUGHED) and said that was the third time today she'd heard that--DUH, three couples sharing my donor. . .

I told her that while it may seem funny to her, it really, really isn't, this is hard enough and something like that UNNECESSARILY adds to the roller coaster.  She said to relax, I told her that by the time you get to donor egg, you have been through too much to be told to "relax".  I told her that I was imploring her to make sure that they make this SMALL change in practice, give full enough information (we didn't count them all but there are 15 good ones.  . .), it is a simple thing and means a lot more to us than it would to them to NOT make this small change.

She AGAIN said she'd heard that three times today.

UMmm, if EVERYONE to whom you did this expresses the same dismay, maybe just take the extra step of saying 4-7 extra words so as not to freak us out?

Shady Grove has a particular lack of empathy.  Most of the time I'm ok with it, and seek it elsewhere, but this time they CAUSED the angst.  I was mentally preparing myself to for what looked like a decent chance at cancellation because I'm third in line--while all the while it is unlikely!

And, apparently, they had worried the others too.

I'm sorry, OP.  You've been through a lot and this process is such a roller coaster - you don't need added stress.  I too have had experiences where either the nurse or the ultra sound tech said something really thoughtless and it sent me into a frenzy.  It means so little to them because this is just their job, but we have so much invested of our lives, emotions, hopes, dreams, not to mention finances.  They should know better.  Some sensitivity awareness training could definitely help these folks.  Anyways, try and shake it off and focus on your next steps.  I'm wishing the best for this cycle.  Good luck![/quote]
