RE Appointment Made

Purvalicious

Just a follow up to all of your awesome advice last week: DH and I took a big first step, we made our first RE appointment.  I'm totally overwhelmed and a little scared about what the next steps will be, but excited to at least get some more information.  

Thanks for all your suggestions and advice!

Its a HUGE scary step and I am so glad that you made it. I know you and the RE will come up with a great plan. (((HUGS)))

Thanks for the support! The appointment is next Tuesday, and apparently is jet a discussion, no testing yet.

I loved our RE at pacific NW fertility...  and know that seeing an RE doesnt always lead to IVF...  for us it was SA issues, and femara and an IUI was our magic bullet...

good luck!!

Good luck - I hope they have good info for you. Which RE did you decide to go with if you don't mind me asking? We made our first appointment for mid-April with Seattle Reproductive Medicine. I'm still not sure about sticking with SRM because they seem to be pricey, but the location is good for us (they have a clinic in Tacoma) and they seem to have good stats at the CDC.

K, we chose Northwest Reproductive based on a recommendation from a good friend.

They were our RE and they are all great there.  Don't be afraid to ask questions (even via the online portal if you think of them after). Our doctor answered us directly through there and it was very helpful. We have a wonderful baby from our experience there and getting there is the hardest step. Getting a plan is a weight off your shoulders.  Will be thinking of you!

That is great.  I'm sure it was a very difficult call to make and I really hope you can the answers you need to put a good plan in place.

Good luck! I'm sure it's scary, but hopefully you'll get a lot of good information.

It is a scary step, but it also feels good to feel like you are taking a step forward.  We went to SRM because I could walk to it from work (convenience is important when it comes to fertility treatments because you are there so much during a cycle).  I've heard great things about Northwest too.

Our first appointment was 2.5 hours long but they did initiate some testing.  It started with a consult with the RE, review of tests done by my primary care physician, discussing treatment options, a blood draw for both DH and I (they were testing him for CF since it runs in his family), and an ultrasound because he just couldn't believe that I didn't have PCOS with my crazy cycles (I don't).  If it is the consult only your appointment time will likely be shorter.  

Good luck.  I'm keeping you in my thoughts and can't wait to hear how it goes.
