Have a cookie

Nutella picked this cookie out of a catered platter at work today.

Tell us, what do you see?

one ringy dingy, two ringy dingy

I hate the phone.  This is very strange, because I am an unusually outgoing and verbal person.  But making cold calls?  Or calling for business?  I hate it.  I have to psych myself up to do it.  The thing is, that I’m amazingly together, communicative and patient.  I have nothing to be afraid of.  It’s bizarre.

With ovulation imminent I finally got my act together and called the RE’s office, since she has yet to respond to my email from Wednesday last week.   After speaking with 4 different people, here’s what I have learned:

For a weekend IUI– If I do not have a positive OPK by Friday afternoon I am to call nurse S in the suburban office.  She will get my paperwork to the city office so that they will be prepared to do a Sunday IUI if necessary.  If I then get my positive OPK on Saturday I am to call the lab in the city who will have my sample ready for a 9:30 am IUI on Sunday in the city office.

Billing for the IUI– They have already confirmed that my insurance will not cover any charges related to the IUI, thus they will not submit it to my insurance company.  Payment in full is due at the time of the IUI.  This will run us between $350 and $500 depending on who knows what.

Responsibility for the late fees on the shipping dewar– The lab is still blaming DHL.  However, they now agree with me that I should be the last person to have to pay for the late fee on the tank.  They haven’t said that they will claim responsibility yet, but they are going to follow up with DHL and call me back tomorrow.  I’m going to be a PITA about this, and I will not give in.  If they can charge me $50 to let a vial thaw then I’m gonna nitpick about this $50
