Today was Yom Kippur, so I was home with SR (except when I left her at daycare to go for my CD3 u/s). After her afternoon nap, she was playing and then she stopped and said, "Make a pee pee. Potty?" Just to recap, I tried to put her on the potty at the beginning of July. She really only wanted to read the books that I kept in there for her so nothing ever happened. But in her new daycare classroom (the toddler room) some of the older kids are potty training. So, I listened to her and told her to come to her potty. I put the Dora (what else?) potty seat on the toilet and we got her pants and diaper off. Sure enough, SR kept saying "Read books! A different book!" as we read through our different books I keep for her in the bathroom. But just when I thought she was wasting my time...SHE PEED ON THE POTTY!!!! She asked to pee on the potty and then she did! No training. No prep work. She just asked to go!
Today was my CD3 u/s. Considering I had the day off work b/c of Yom Kippur, I should have gone to the W. location where my Dr. was today. I wasn't thinking straight when I made this appointment. I originally thought it was a work day, so I had 7:20 booked. But then I called back and quickly changed it to 9:40 so SR could sleep until her desired wake up since there was no rush to go early in the morning. I should have remembered that there is more competence at the W. location. I have had mostly problems at R. location.
To start with, they didn't ask me for a payment today - normally they do before starting a transfer cycle. I was worried that they didn't know it was a transfer cycle so I even asked about it. They told me to pay next visit...???? Then, the nurse was away - the same nurse who didn't remember to call after my Beta test. Her replacement was the nurse in training who seems to have been in training since my m/c in July (but I may be thinking back too far). She had no idea what to do or say. It's a good think I know the protocol. I told her I needed to start my Estrace today, and she asked me if I knew how much??? WTF? If I didn't say anything they wouldn't have started me on it. I wanted to take the script into the pharmacy and wait for it while SR was still in daycare, but in the end she had to phone the dr and call in my script. She left me a voice message sounding so proud of herself saying she even gave me 4 repeats!
When I picked up the prescription I was PISSED OFF....how nice of her to give me 4 repeats on 18 pills! Now I need to go every week to the pharmacy to pick more pills up....for 3 months??? (if all goes well and I have a successful pregnancy). I'm sorry, but with a full time job and an almost 21 month old, I am NOT going to the pharmacy every week to pick up more pills. They are going to have to change this script. I remember last cycle being frustrated with 56 pills (or something similar). 18 pills! OMGosh!
And it's a good thing I know to book for CD10 for my next visit. She didn't tell me that either! When I conceived SR with them, I felt completely safe and that I was more than just a number. Since they have renovated all their sites and added a fifth location (R) I don't think they can keep up with the mass amounts of people.
In any case, I'm on my way to PUPO....CD3...almost CD4. My lining is 3.1....thinnest lining I think I've ever had....this may be a long wait until my transfer.
I've been VERY stressed the past two days...lots of tears. Don't want to get into it. Has to do with the politics between our union and the government and how the principal is handling things. It also has to do with being a choice mom and my parents are away. And how I'm going to tell the principal I'm going to do what is right for me since what is "expected" is actually "voluntary". I can't go into it further. Just that I have wasted too much energy on it so far when all I really wanted to do tonight is watch the premier of "the middle".
And my class is a zoo! Makes going to work VERY unenjoyable this year. And it's still only September.
At least I come home to my SR every night.
I'm so sorry work is so stressful. It makes me sick how the government & media are treating you, the most valuable of our "public sector" workers...well equally as valuable as the police & fire for sure!! Anyway, I don't want to get political just know you have my support (a lot of fat good that does you :))
ReplyDeleteOn top of that, you have to deal with the incompetency of your clinic! Its so sad to hear they've gone down hill since all the renos & expansion.
Hope things get better...
Watching "The Middle" helps me forget about problems at school too. I'm sorry to hear it's rough. I know how disheartening it can be. Hang in there and hug your baby girl.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are having a hard time at work.
ReplyDeleteAnd a good thing you know how and what about your cycle!
And yay for doing pee-pee in the potty!!
