my nurse cancelled my cycle because it falls on Thanksgiving is this normal?

I called my nurse at my RE's office to tell her my period was coming this weekend and how I was to proceed if it happened on the weekend. As far as bloodwork and ultrasounds go. I am supposed to start my injections of Follistim this month. I've had my last 3 cycles cancelled do to having a cyst.

She said oh.....your cylce is falling on Thanksgiving so we arem going to cancel it.

WHAT???
IS THIS NORMAL

SHE SAYS THEY WILL CANCEL ME IN DECEMBER TOO B/C OF CHRISTMAS??????????

HELLO???

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF CANCELLING CYCLES B/C THEY RUN INTO HOLIDAYS????

I'm paying for this and the medication I don't think it's fair to cancel a whole cycle b/c it runs into a holiday. She said there is always an on call doc there but that it's easier for them to cancel than chance them missing the holidays????

This seems wrong to me?

Kara, that is not normal in my center. Last Thanksgiving I was going through an IVF cycle and I was in their office on Thanksgiving morning for an u/s and e2 (along with several other women!). Sorry your center doesn't do the same...that sucks!
