    Good luck at your appointment today. It sounds like you're more prepared than I was. When I went, I had just had a physical the week before including a pap, so when I went to the RE, I didn't bother to shave my legs or anything because I figured I wouldn't need to strip down again.... To my complete horror and embarrassment, the RE made me redo some of the tests... :)

    Sounds like you've got it all covered, try not to be too nervous. :)

    My RE required records from my GYN of my last pap smear and STD tests before he would move forward with any treatment. I didn't bring them the 1st meeting, but brought the records over the next week.

     

    During the 1st appt, he just asked a lot of questions. Since I was CD7 he also did a baseline ultrasound (and predicted exactly the day I would O- 5 days later), along with some basic bloodwork.

    Good luck! When we went to our first RE appt, I got a pap smear, as it had been a year since my last one. I also got b/w, an u/s, and DH was scheduled for his SA. It lasted about an hour, and the RE spent some time explaining our "issues"

    I felt very good leaving our appointment since we finally had a plan/hope.
