Requested an appt!

My husband and I have been unable to have a child since trying since 2008.  We have finally decided to take the leap and get in and do the testing.  I have PCOS and we believe there may be an issue on my husband's side too.  Anything I should be asking of my 1st visit with the specialist?

    Hello!  Congratulations on taking this important step.  I would try to get a sense of the range of treatment options, their costs, and their success rates.  I would also discuss the testing that would be recommended before treatment can begin and how long that testing would take.  Congratulations again!

    Thank you both.  My husband had his appt today and his count came back lower than they'd like but everything else looked great.  I go tomorrow.
