Questions for RE

surfergirlkona

I posted an introduction yesterday.  Thursday is our first RE appointment and I was wondering what I should arm myself with as far as questions and what to expect.  I am experiencing a good amount of anxiety of this!

Thank you for your help!

Honestly, all REs have an first appointment protocal that they follow. So I wouldn't be too anxious, sure they'll lay it all out.

You may have some questions after things get going, but I don't really think there's much you need be prepared to ask.

Thank you.  I think I just have anxiety over all of this.

I agree with Cathy.  They usually have a protocol they follow.  Good luck at your apt and let us know how it goes.

I'm sure it will go fine!  But, I understand how you feel.  I actually threw up the morning of my first RE appointment I was so nervous.  I think that's when DH got a hint about what he was in for . . .

I'm pretty sure that your RE will go over the info he has from you and your other doctors and order a bunch of tests.  You might want to ask what each test is for and what the implications are for results.  That would be about it for the first trip!  Good luck!

Good luck on your appointment. The things you talk about in your visit will probably have you thinking up questions when you get home. Just keep a little notebook with you at all times. I would write down anything I thought of for the next consultation. Every time i failed to write it down, i would forget to ask.

Thanks again ladies!

 Last Friday I went in for labs - about 16 vials worth!  So, that is a start!

I am assuming they will.  I didn't get to do the FSH and FH CD 2-3 tests or the CD 21 progerstone tests, but everything else was.  I even had my OB send my records over from my pregnancy loss.  I hope to have some answers and homework on Thursday.

At our first appointment, we really just went over our medical history and discussed potential next steps.  We had all of our bloodwork done after meeting with the RE.  Good luck!
