I realized today that not only do I need a plan for getting from the clinic to work after monitoring appointments, I will also probably need a plan to get TO the clinic from work for my first monitoring appointment, since I likely won't be able to schedule it ahead of time. I started doing some research, and I realized that our city no longer does bus transfers. Since there isn't a bus that goes directly to the clinic from my work, I would have to pay two fares. Each way. Each fare is $2.50. That's insane! If I knew ahead of time that I would need to take 4 buses in one day, I could probably buy a $6 daily pass, but I'm not sure where to buy those passes. Obviously, working downtown next to the capital building has its perks (lots of great restaurants! shopping! parks! etc, etc) but the transportation situation is far from ideal.
I'm also seriously irritated with the radiology department. It turns out the most likely day that I would need to go in for an HSG is Friday, July 3. Our department only does them on Fridays, and they only have 8 spots, so you have to reserve as early as possible, which is really, really hard when your cycle is irregular. Turns out, radiology is closed on the 3rd for Independence Day, and the following week will likely be too late. If my period starts in the next two days (which it might), I could possibly get my HSG next week, but of course the spots have probably been filled for weeks already. So I would have to wait another month AGAIN. Obviously, we're just skipping the HSG at this point, because this is getting ridiculous.
