I have my first RE appointment tomorrow . . .

So, here's the question I have.  For those of you who have gone through treatments, is there anything you wish you had asked at your first RE appointment that you didn't think of at the time?

I'm a little nervous, but excited to be moving forward.  I have a feeling she'll want to put me through more testing before starting any meds or IUIs, though, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up that anything will happen before the end of the year.

    I just wanted to wish you luck. I can't think of anything I wish I had asked at the first appointment. Make sure you get a number for someone to call (nurse usually) with any follow up questions, and don't be shy to use it.

    There was nothing that I wish that I would have asked, however, I do have a few tips for your appointment.  I took copies of all my charts, the last two pap smears, and records of all my gynocological surgeries.  That was a big help so we could move faster through the testing.  Good luck.
