Hey all, So first of all thanks for all the great advice so far. I have my appt on Tuesday and I am trying to come up with my list of questions to ask. Anything you can think of that I may forget to ask? I am a bit nervous but after AF showing her ugly face yesterday I am ready to find our what our next path is. I already started my testing with my OB. My DH SA came back normal (never got actual numbers though) and my HSG and CD3 bloodwork was normal. I'd appreciate any help. TIA.
Me 29 DH 30 Unexplained IF TTC since wedding May 2012. IUI #1 11/5/13-BFN. IUI #2 12/5/13-BFN. IUI #3-12/30/14. All three with Femara CD 3-7 and Ovidrel trigger. +HPT 1/13/14 First +ever!!! Beta #1 195 Beta #2 1/15-533. Ultrasound on 2/4 showed one bean. EDD 9/22/14. Team Green turned Team Blue-Baby Conner arrived on 9/19/14.
My advice is to right down all of your questions and bring them with you. It's a lot to take in in one visit so that helps remember everything. Good luck on Tuesday and I hope you get some answers and a plan that works for you.
I agree with PP on writing down any questions you know you want answered because if you are anything like me, it's easy to be overwhelmed and forget what you want to ask. I can't really think of any specific questions to ask, but personally I always ask for my RE's reasoning behind certain treatment he recommends. I just feel better when I know exactly why we are taking a certain plan of action!

No real advice other than write down your questions and take hubby with you if you can. It can be very overwhelming at the first appt, and it's good to have another set of ears there. Then afterwards you can go out to lunch
Hubby will be there. Sadly my appt is at 930 and I have to be to work by 1230. Tuesday starts a 10 day stretch for me at work too.

I hope your appt goes well. My only suggestion is to ask "why" for any treatment options he offers. Having him explain why to go with one procedure or another will help you understand your options better. Good luck!
