Preconception visit---so excited!

in Trying to Get Pregnant
Okay, so totally nerdy, but I am so excited today! 

I had my preconception visit with my OB GYN and I don't know what I was expecting, but it was the most laid-back visit ever!  I guess I was imagined going up against the Inquisition for preconception health, but it wasn't like that at all! The gist was take a prenatal vitamin, time your baby bumping correctly, and call us when the pee stick comes out positive. 

My husband thinks I'm a dork because I am geeking out about this experience way too much, but seriously.  It's the first really "maternal" thing I feel like I've done.

Me: 27 DH: 27

October 2013: Endo erosion/ Clear HSG

March 2014: SA #1/  2%morph, borderline sperm count, decent motility

June 2014: SA#2/  2% morph, low sperm count, worse motility

Plan: "Quick Start IVF"/antagonist protocol with Follistim, Ganirelix, Ovidrel and progesterone suppositories (yay)

High AMH (11) and Low BMI= low doses of everything to prevent OHSS

July 27, 2014: Started Follistim injections for ten days

July 31, 2014: U/S= 20 follicles, 8.5 lining, E2 is good, Ganirelix for 4 days starting 8/2

August 4, 2014: 14 follicles on-track, good lining, Trigger 8/6

August 9, 2014: 9 ICSIed/ 5 embryos; aiming for a 5dt on 8/13

August 13, 2014: 5DT of 1 4BA almost-hatching blastocyst (Please hang in, Little Bug!)

August 14, 2014: We have 3 frosties! Hope they're having fun hanging out together. :)

August 23, 2014: Beta #1: 144 8/23/14: Beta #2: 374 Beta 8/25/14  Beta #3: 6,600 9/3/14

September 9, 2014: Ultrasound #1 115 heartbeats per minute

September 23, 2014: Ultrasound #2 182 heartbeats per minute 

September 26, 2014: Love my OB's office

October 10, 2014: Our baby looks like a baby and is moving all over!  

December 8, 2014: Anatomy scan- It's a girl!

    Congrats of wasting money on a compeltely worthless and unnecessary appointment. I'm sure your doctor appreciates you lining their pocket with money that didn't need to be spent.

    Thanks for contributing to rising healthcare costs with your unnecessary visit.

    Unless she has some underlying medical condition that she omitted from her OP, then I would have to agree with you. 

    If she has an underlying medical condition, she should already be under a doctor's care and should have discussed this with them, thus making this appointment completely unnecessary.

    All of this.

    OP's post rubbed me the wrong way.
