RE

I am still a little miffed that we couldn't get the IUI this cycle ALL b/c my RE's office doesn't have weekend hours. Is this normal?? I mean how can the RE expect my body to only ovulate Monday-Friday? I am thinking about looking for an RE that has weekend hours.

Is it common for RE's NOT to have weekend hours? Does your RE? I just want to know if this is the norm. Thanks!!

I do find that a little strange. It's not like you can 100% control things to work M-F. My RE has hours on the weekend, but in a different location than where I normally go.

My RE has weekend hours. I didn't even think about that, but now I'm so glad he does 'cause my first IUI was on a Sunday! You should definitely shop around for another RE clinic. It's hard enough waiting, you don't want to keep missing cycles that way! Too heartbreaking!

i've not been to the RE yet, but it seems like all my online friends that have, their RE's have weekend hours b/c they always talk about going in on sat and sun mornings...

That would upset me so much. You already have things working against you...you should add weekends!

My RE doesn't have weekend hours either, and I would have been PISSED if my O-date was on a w/e. You should definitely start shopping around...maybe I should too!

This was actually the first question I asked my RE. I asked if they did IUI's on the weekend and he looked at me puzzled and said "Yes of course, babies do not wait. Why have you heard other doctors do not?" He was shocked when I told him yes.

I am so, so sorry for that frustration, how irritating! I know of 3 RE's at major hospitals near me and all have weekend hours. Might be something to look into. Hang in there, thinking of you.

The only days of the year that my RE isnt open is Christmas and Thanksgiving.

I hope you find on with weekend hours

I remember reading that some RE offices do not have weekend or holiday hours, however I find that odd. How are we supposed to control when we O? Is there anyway you can look for another RE?
Sorry Jessica!
