First RE Appointment Tomorrow

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Knowing that we have this appointment has given me a lot of peace of mind, for whatever reason. I so glad that it's almost here, and I am really thrilled to meet this doctor (she sounds fabulous and her experience is impressive.) Of course my OB/GYN is taking their sweet time with copying my records, so I am pretty sure I won't have those to take tomorrow (I'll just have to have them faxed when they decide they have the time to do it- ugh!) And I don't think DH will be able to make it tomorrow (not a huge deal. The closest RE is an hour away, and in an earlier time zone, and DS starts hockey tomorrow evening and there is no way we will be back in time so DH needs to shuttle him over and get him dressed.) But all in all I feel like this is a step in the right direction for us. I'm not giving up just yet...hopefully we will have a baby before DS is on AARP....

    Meeting with an RE does give you a renewed since of hope and I'm thrilled you're feeling that!

    I will tell you from my experience that if there's any way at all for DH to be there it really is more important than you may think.

    There will be a lot of testing and some decisions to be made.  I know it was easier for DH to hear all of that coming from the RE than it would have been from me.

    GL to you!  Hope you've got a great game plan in place soon!

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    Thanks howleyshell- there is definitely a renewed since of hope that comes with this. We are trying to work it out so that DH can come, hockey is really throwing a wrench into our plans (I don't want to have our normal babysitter hassle with hockey- it's an absolute PITA. And there was no way I was passing up this appointment because they were able to fit me in since someone cancelled.)  It stinks for him though because I know he really wants to go (he wants answers just as much as me, and he kind of works as a distraction because I get anxious.) Maybe I can put him on speaker phone?!

    If he can't make it I'd definitely ask the RE to do this for you.  It would have been simple in my consult for the RE to have used either his phone or my cell on speaker.

    That sounds like a great compromise!

    Also - just wanted to make sure you knew that there's a secondary IF board.

    Lots of wonderful support over there from women in a similar situation.

    GL again!
