in Trouble TTC
Hello, I'm not exactly sure what to say. I'm 32, type 1 diabetic and having tttc. I was told I don't ovulate. I've done two cycles of Clomid with the trigger shot and no luck. Recently my obgyn/specialist left the office. They transferred me,in the middle of a cycle, to a obgyn who said "I don't deal with infertility often." So we went out and found a RE. My first appointment with the RE is on the 17th. Any suggestions to ask the RE on initial consultation since I've already done two cycles of Clomid?

    I don't really have much advice to offer but still wanted to say hello and wish you luck. Also, I never ovulated using Clomid. I had to move on to injections to ovulate. My situation was a little different, I had been on the depo shot for 3 years for BC and after a year of being off of it, I still wasn't ovulating. I've had good results with the injections ( well, good results in terms of ovulation, not so much in terms of pregnancy). Good luck to you.

    Welcome!  As others have said, I'm very excited you're seeing an RE.  Unfortunately, gynos rarely know how to help and wind up being a major waste of time.

    As for advice on what to ask: ask them everything that you've been stressing about.  They're used to dealing with neurotic women with a million questions so don't hesitate to unleash all your anxieties.  I asked my RE everything from whether or not my husband drinks way too much coffee (he did!) to whether or not I should have sex in certain positions because of my tilted uterus (she said no!) and if it was true that oral sex actually affects conception (it does!)  

    I sat down a few days before my first visit and wrote out all of the things I had been stressing about over the last few years and even though I don't know if any of that stuff made any difference, I felt a lot better just having answers to my questions from a trusted professional.
