Bad luck...

I think I really have bad luck...After asking the nurse at the hematologist's office how long it usually takes to get MTHFR blood results back, and finding out it only takes a week, I confronted my OB's office. The receptionist was super nice and went back and talked to some of the nurses. She came back to tell me that the results were never faxed back to them by the lab company, and then the OB office missed the results in their monthly audit. Somehow they caught it in January, four months after I had the blood drawn!! The receptionist gave me a complaint form to fill out and I went back to work. Within 15 minutes, the patient advocate person was calling my cell phone! She apoligized profusely, told me I had a valid complaint and asked me to tell my side of things. She said she would let Dr. A know and that it would also be presented to the team of doctors at their next meeting. She still wanted me to fill out the complaint form, so I did and brought it back over (the office I work for is across the hall from theirs).
What can come of this?? Are they going to pay to have my two Follistim/IUI cycles repeated so I can do the Lovenox?? I don't really know what to think. I was sick to my stomach for an hour or so after I talked to them. What if the Lovenox is what I needed to get pregnant? I guess I will just have to wait and see what they say back to me or if they do anything else besides apoligizing.

Some good news for the day:
My sister and brother-in-law closed on their new house today!
My dad's thyroid cancer has not returned!! Yay!!

I just read your post on the local nest board about MTHFR mutation. I too just found out that I have this. I was preparing to TTC because my son had a stroke in utero. This news was devastating because I feel like it was my fault. We are now stuck trying to decide if another baby is possible for us.
I am sorry to read about your struggles with IF. I will say a prayer and send some baby dust your way.
Thanks for sharing your blog!
