Hi ladies, I just started my list of questions to ask the RE (appt is only 2 weeks away.. Eeeeeek) you guys are the pros so lay em on me!!
What should I be asking!!?

By the time I finally saw an RE I already had a ton of data regarding my cycles and temps and whatnot so I focused on the things that were stressing me out. Do I drink too much caffeine? Does my husband? Do we drink too much alcohol? Do we exercise too much?
I know that's a lot of random stuff but I've read so many conflicting views on Dr Google that I wanted a professional to give me a definitive answer on the little things that freaked me out. Once we determined I wasn't doing anything to negatively affect my fertility it helped me de-stress a little. I still have unexplained infertility which is a stress in itself, but at least I'm not doing anything wrong...I'm just apparently incredibly unlucky.

I love PP's advice to ask those questions that Dr. Google seems to vacillate on.
For myself, I liked not jumping the gun, and held off on "what if?" questions until we had all our testing done and the RE could really give individualized info/advice.
But I know other women do way better knowing all the possibilities, so I would say, take a moment to reflect on what you want to get out of the appointment - what would send you home feeling awesome and okay until the next step - and then communicate that with your RE. Good luck!
