This clinic opens at 7:00 am Monday-Friday and 8:00 Saturday and Sunday. Anybody who needs cycle day 3 labs or ultrasounds just shows up between 7-8 during the week or 8-8:30 on the weekend. They give you a number and then call back 4 or 5 girls at the same time. We walked in a group dropping a girl in each exam room along the hall. The ultrasound only takes about 2 minutes then you go back to the waiting room to wait for the nurse.
her "everything looks fine. do you have your Clomid?"
me "yes, I picked it up yesterday."
her "OK start taking that tonight and come back on December 13th (Sunday) for your ultrasound. Bring the trigger with you, you should have refills on that, too."
And that was that. Several hundred dollars for 30 minutes. Infertility is big business!
I've thought that I should encourage this baby to eventually become and RE so he can begin to recoup some of the costs of his existence...
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the 13th!
