That's one of the only great things about IVF (aside from when it works)... you realize just how on top of things you are.

I've learned to never count on the clinic to get it right. With both of my cycles the nurse coordinator left meds off my calendar, so that must be pretty common. <BR/><BR/>It's not so bad once you get going. And like Lindy says, it's not an exact science.

I made some minor mistakes (started medrol a day late, forgot a dose of doxycycline) but my RE assured me it really wasn't an exact science to begin with, so don't worry too much about the details.<BR/><BR/>And I assure you, you will come to Bittermamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130551051224443601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9260269.post-1131554011276638072005-11-09T08:33:00.000-08:002005-11-09T08:33:00.000-08:00Oh, Cass, I think it's utterly normal to feel anxi...Oh, Cass, I think it's utterly normal to feel anxious right now. <BR/><BR/>For me, what worked was being obsessive about my part of it--making sure I took my meds when I should, inquiring at each appt. about the specifics of each med I was taking, and just making sure that the clinic staff knew everything I felt they needed to know about me and my protocol.

I think, though, that you are doing an excellent job dealing with unknowns so far--after all, you've done marvelously dealing with all the uncertainty of infertility. It is completely to be expected that you would be overwhelmed, but I am confident that you will do just fine--good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
