Trouble TTC

Consult Questions

We are going for our second consult with our RE tomorrow morning...we were on a cancellation list and they had an opening so we grabbed it.  Our insurance begins a new year 10/1, so anything that can be covered while we hit our deductible already we are jumping on.  

Anyways - this is a consult to talk next steps...like what other testing needs to be done...injectables...IVF etc

I'm usually a huge researcher type A person, but I feel like I don't have to time to become prepared for this meeting.  So I'm here asking you ladies for advice on what type of questions you asked or should I be asking? Everything is in my siggy but for a quick overview - we just got a BFN on IUI #4 and we have unexplained infertility.  

Thanks!

Re: Consult Questions

  • My big question would be, based on our individual situation and comparing with the research, what are our chances for each option you give us?

    Everyone has their own threshold for cost/benefit analysis when it comes to IF treatments, so I think getting the RE's expert knowledge allows you to choose what is worth it for you. 

    Awesome once that deductible is paid! It almost made me want to push onto IVF before the end of the year but finally decided that a couple more IUIs were worth it in our situation. :)

  • Thanks!! I'm asking about AMH and hopefully getting that done this cycle.  They told me to be prepared for a lot of information so I'm a little nervous because I don't feel prepared for this at all.
