For ladies who have seen a RE

BrandiNicole22 · November 2010

I have a question for you ladies who have seen a RE.

Last cycle marked our 1 year of trying. I have an appointment with my regular gyn on 12/6 for my annual exam. But I am thinking about making a appointment with a RE (I will talk to my gyn about it also) but I was just wondering what all do they do at the first appointment with a RE.

For us it was a ton of medical hsitory for myself and DH!

I had a pelvic exam, a vaginal u/s (AKA date with dildo cam), adn bloodwork done. After my pelvic and u/s the Dr talked to us about our options. The first step was a HSG which I think is standard if you haven't had one yet and a SA for DH was needed.

We just talked about our medical histories. The RE looked over the b/w done by my GYN doctor and had a very different interpretation of it. He also talked about the SA that we already had done.

My first appointment was a bunch of paperwork, TONS of b/w (I think they took 9 vials), internal u/s, SHG & DH's SA. The entire appointment was a little over 2-hrs, however it wasn't a "normal" appointment. I joined a research study, so there was extra paperwork. They also don't normally do all the testing on the first appointment, it's normally just the b/w & paperwork.
