Philippians 4:8-9

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Frustration in the form of Rubella...

Well, there is good news and bad news!
Bad news:
I was so encouraged when I was able to schedule an appointment with my PCP Dr S., for last Thursday. True, I had to miss a little work, true it really wasn't convenient for the office...but I was determined to get this ball rolling!
So when I arrive, and wait for 20 minutes, after I pay my co-pay the receptionist nicely tells me that they don't stock this shot. She then shows me that my chart has notes from Dr S. stating that the Rubella shot needs to be ordered...NOW, working in an office myself, I know that they had plenty of time to look at my chart prior to my coming in for my appointment yet they didn't therefore causing me to leave my work for no reason.

I was comforted by the fact that they can order the shot. So I figured I would give them a few days and call to schedule my next appointment for my shot.
I called the PCP office today to check on the Rubella status...
After being on hold for 20 minutes, "Becky" comes on the line and says that it isn't in yet. (that's office speak for we haven't ordered it yet)..So I ask her if it has been ordered and she says "no, we can only order it in packs of 10 and we don't need 10 of them..we would never use them, plus they are expensive" She then explains that Dr. S is going to call a colleague of his and see if he can purchase just one shot.
I politely let her know that I am waiting for this shot to continue my infertility treatment...She says she is aware and they will call me later today and let me know if Dr. S was able to get me the shot...

Can we all just do a collective heavy sigh.....:(
I have been trying really hard to keep a positive attitude, by I just had to vent today. I am frustrated and feel like no one is hearing me. I made a pledge to be honest with all of you throughout my journey. It will not always be pretty or even make sense but what it will always be honest...
Today I don't feel encouraged
Today I don't feel positive
Today I feel alone

I almost forgot there is good news!
The good news is that my RE office let me know that after I get the Rubella shot I only have to wait a full 30 before I continue my next cycle!!!

Will you pray with me?
Will you pray for me?
Will you join me in prayer for ALL the women that are suffering from infertility. I know I am not alone, and I know this story plays out every day for someone.
Will you pray?
