  I did not use the same RE but I had a bad experience with my first RE.
  
  Regardless of whether you switch it should not matter what testing you have to repeat. Genetic/dna should not have to be repeated as it does not change. Hormonal testing (fsh, estradiol, etc.) will likely be redone unless it is only a few months old. Generally, they make you redo communicable disease if it is greater than a year. I think hsg, sa, varies from office to office and depending on if there was an Issue or if chichild bibirth in between. That is my experience anyway.

  IF DX: DOR & Fragile X pre-mutation carrier
  2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8
  BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12
  Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
  BFP from supps ~ DS#2 due May 2014

  Yeah, I figured I would have to do all the bloodwork again and DH would have to do another SA. Hoping I don't need another HSG, but that's just because I'm a giant baby and had horrible cramping after my first one. ;-) (I never get my period, so cramps are foreign to me)

  Me: 30, Dx Unexplained/hypothalamic amenorrhea
  DH: 31, normal!
  April/May 2011: Menopur + Ovidrel +TI = BFN
  Oct 2011: Menopur + Hcg +IUI = BFP!
  Beta #1 (13dpiui)= 129.7, Beta #2 (15 dpiui)= 305
  PAIF/SAIF always welcome!

  I am using the same RE but I had to do another HSG because "something" had been in there for 9 months. Maybe you could call and ask what they'd typically have someone redo? I'd def be interested in someone closer given your situation.

  We use the same RE.  I had to repeat my bloodwork and have a saline sonogram done.  DH didn't have to do anything but that's because we were going back for a FET.

  I am using the same RE. The only thing DH and I had to repeat was our infectious diseases b/w, and my prolactin and TSH b/w. I am sure it's different for IUI vs. IVF.

  TTC #2 

  IUI's #1 - #4 Follistim = BFN's
