First Dr. appt.

I am 24, my husband is 30. We have been trying to conceive for 11 months. I have been off BCP since 12/06. I have been doing OPKs since August. I have my annual with my OB/GYN next week. When I booked the appt. I let them know I would be addressing the TTC issue. At this appt. what can I expect? Just a conversation about it? BW? More appts.? I know that every doctor may approach this differently, but what are your experiences? TIA

    You should chart if you don't already, because they'll probably be explaining o'ing times, etc. Bloodwork is also inevitable.

    I know you use OPKs, but they don't confirm ovulation. Do you know for a fact you are ovulating?

    Depending on the length and regularity of your cycles, they will probably do B/W to test your hormone levels, maybe do an U/S. If you aren't ovulating, they may prescribe Clomid to help you ovulate.

    I bet this time will be just a conversation then they may have you come back again soon for tests.

    I do not chart. I have an average cycle of 29 days, 31 days is the absolute longest I have gone. I'm pretty sure I am ovulating, with the OPKs, checking CM, and the little twinges and slight cramping that I get. Thanks for the response, I just wanted to get a little idea of what this appt. would entail.

    i guess it depends on your situation.  when i talked to my nurse practitioner at my annual, it was just a quick conversation to get an idea of how soon, healthy things to do/not do, etc.  then she gave me some pamphlets and gave me a family screening questionnaire thing to mail back.

    good luck!
