On the first visit, you can expect a long conversation to review your medical history and TTC efforts. Most will then do an ultrasound to get a first look at the plumbing. Some may wait and have you come back in on CD3 and do the ultrasound and bloodwork.
Your doc will also then outline what the next steps are diagnostic wise. Mine gave me a list. If you look at my blog (signature) on the sidebar under medical you'll see what all I did from my first visit through the last IUI.
Good luck!
