Going to RE for number 2

For those of you who have had treatment for your second, third, ect. What can I expect at my consult the second time around? I am going tomorrow, and would like to know if they re-do testing, if it happens faster/easier. Do I have to try clomid again even though we were successful with Bravelle? Give me some insight!

    Did it work with number two faster, take longer, or the same?

    We haven'tg one back for number two (obviously since number one isn't here!) but I did ask our Dr about it when we graduated. She said we would re-do blood work and possibly the HSG, and SA and then jump right back into what worked before.

    I didn't have to do the HSG again- but did have to do a saline sono to check my uterus and make sure there was no scarring, etc- since giving birth.

    I did have the blood tests done again -and so did DH- but we didn't have to do the semen analysis b/c it had only been 2 yrs and the doc said male fertility rarely changes that fast.

    We went right to the same protocol that worked for us the last time.

    Good luck!!

    When we went back to RE for baby #2, the only thing I had to do was a saline test and a mock transfer because we were doing a FET with our left over embies from IVF#1.  Unfortunately, that cycle failed so we were going to do another fresh IVF.  I had to repeat cd3 levels, but we actually got a surprise BFP the cycle before we were going to do IVF#2.  It was very much a surprise because when we went to the RE to discuss baby#2 he said we had a 1% chance to conceive on our own!!!!  I guess we got really, really lucky!
    Baby #1: 19 cycles, failed IUI, and 1 + IVF 3-5-07
    Baby #2: 12 cycles, 1 failed FET, natural miracle but m/c at 9 weeks then another natural miracle that stuck! 9-30-09

    TTC #3 - 4 cycles - no BFP yet!

    My RE did require an HSG to make sure there wasn't anything in there that would keep the embies from implanting since I had given birth. I'm glad he did because he found a polyp, which he removed on Friday. Beyond that we didn't have to do anything at all. We were able to start bcp for our FET cycle the day after surgery!
