My first appt with my fertility doctor is June 12th, to discuss IVF. I'm pretty nervous. I still cry when I talk about what all has happened and I have no idea what to expect. What do they typically do for the 'consultation' visit?
Sorry, dumb question(s)...just getting anxious.
DD 6/17/08, DD 6/9/10, DD 12/15/11
BFP 5/24/13 - Natural MC 6/7/13
BFP 8/13/13 - Natural MC 8/27/13
Ovarian Mass = removal of left ovary & tube 9/13
BFP 4/24/14 - Tubal Pregnancy 5/7/14
Removal of ruptured right tube 5/8/14
IVF or adoption??
Re: What is the first visit like?
Here's how it went: I went in and the RE called me back to his office. He went over all of my records from my OB with me, then asked me lots of questions. He went over DHs SA. Then he discussed options and asked what I felt about treatments and how aggressive I wanted to be.
After the interview, he did an ultrasound to check out ovaries and uterus and then sent me back for bloodwork. The office hooked me up with an inexpensive genetic screener for me which was huge because it's one of the factors we have to consider if we decide to do treatments.
I don't know if all are like that, but that's how mine went! One thing I didn't like is that he seemed absolutely sure that DS was a complete fluke and miracle. Morphology seems to be our only issue, so I don't know. No one else (doctors) seemed all that concerned. So either he really knows more than everyone else, or he's just very RE about babies and believes that no one can get KU without him.
