RE appointment

tampabayRNtampabayRN member
in TTC after 35
I had my initial consult with the RE today.  My doctor was great and put both my husband and I at ease.  She basically told me that the fact that I am 36, have regular periods, and appear to be ovulating every month are good signs.  The doctor did an exam I had cervical biopsy done and a bunch of blood work.  I have to get more blood work on Monday which should be CD3 and I will also get an antral follicle count sonogram and HSG for CD6-12 as well as progesterone level 7-9 days after after LH surge.  Hubby will of course have to give a SA. After all of the testing is done then we will have a follow-up and make a game plan. 
Photobucket Me:36 DH: 34 TTC since 02/2012, not preventing since 2010. Me: testing came back good. DH: dx: MIF low count/motility. RE recommends IVF with ICSI. Update: DH just diagnosed with severe Crohn's disease, so any IF treatment is on hold :(

    So glad the visit went well. Sounds like you have a good doc and a great plan in place.
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    Did you have a polyp? Just wondering why they did a biopsy? Are you OK?

    Good luck to you! It feels good to get some direction, doesn't it?

    Thanks everyone!  It certainly does feel good to have some sort of direction!  I don't believe I have a polyp.  I think she actually did an endometrial biopsy.  I get very heavy periods and occasionally will have pain when having sex so she questioned whether or not I could have endometriosis.  I'm not sure if the biopsy was to check on that or not, when I go back on Monday I will have to find out the reason for the test.

    If she wants an HSG test see if she does it.  Because alot of people have pain with that test but I had my dr. do it and I had no pain at all.  Good luck babe.  She sounds great!

    Thank you!  My doctor is not the one doing the HSG test but one of her partners in the practice.  I'm hoping I am one of the ones that doesn't have pain with the procedure.

    Sounds like a good first visit. Mine is tomorrow! I'm nervous and I know all docs are different. I hope it goes as well as yours!
