?s for RE office

adaisybug · January 2011

So, we are meeting with a new (our 1st) RE this week. (Quick recap: Found out last week that both of my tubes are blocked and our only option is through IVF)

I am trying to compile a list of questions to ask. I have already started a list, but was wondering if you had some suggestions - this has been a whirlwind of a week, so I am still trying to process everything and want to make sure we discuss everything. I want to pull from your wealth of knowledge!

Thanks ladies!

Hey there

Here is a list of questions for an IVF consult. Before you ask those, though, I'd definitely ask for a second opinion on the blocked tubes (are they sure they're blocked or were you diagnosed via HSG and it's possible it was read wrong?) Would surgery help to unblock? Good luck!

Hey Sulfa! Thanks for responding.

By going to the RE we are getting our second opinion. Ii had the HSG done through my obgyn and we met with her on Friday. I will be taking my HSG film to my RE appt for them to look at. They might be able to see where the blockage is and fix it, but it is not probable. As far as reading the film wrong, they are pretty sure they are blocked. He tried for 30+ mins and gave me a shot of glocegan (sp?) that helps with spasms and was never able to get the dye through.

However, when we meet with the RE, she might have a different take. There is a surgery they can do to attempt to open the tubes, but if we were to get pregnant on our own, the risk of ectopic is extremely high. And the surgery is usually not very successful.

Since this is our first visit, I know we will have a range of questions and discussions. I have some surgery questions written down, but just am completely clueless about the IVF stuff.

Thanks for the link!

I don't have any questions to suggest, just wanted to wish you luck on your appointment this week. I hope you get some good answers from the RE.

Thanks luft! I will definitely update with our plan after we meet with her! Hoping for some kind of good news.

I have no other questions to offer (because, you know, Sulfa is awesome and took care of that), but I wanted to say I'm very happy you got in to see an RE so quickly and I'm praying for you. Hopefully you can get things moving (no pun intended) soon!

Thank you so much! We are thankful we got in so quickly too! It is crazy because when we called, they had just had a cancellation and it was her only appt for the month of January. It is crazy how things fall into place. I am excited to meet with her and discuss our options and develop a plan.

BTW....love your pun. I am needing to laugh these days.

Thanks. We are looking forward to meeting with the RE to see what they have to say. It does suck about the tubes, because other than that, we are golden. It's just that our sperm and eggs cannot meet up. But like my doc said, they will just bypass the tubes!
