Tomorrow is the day I go to my first appt. with my RE! I have my forms all filled out, I'm all set to leave school (I'm a teacher) early, and I have my questions all typed up on a list in my phone. I am so ready and excited for this! I just wanted to let all of you know and also wanted to have this discussion available so that I can fill all of you in on how the appt. goes tomorrow. Wish me luck and if you have any last minute advice feel free to share! You ladies are the reason I am doing this and I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!! :x

Ooh, big day! Good luck. It sounds like you're taking a very wise step. I bet you'll feel awesome after meeting with the RE because they can take on some of that pressure and responsibility that you've been feeling with TTC.
I recommend being patient with just taking it one step at a time. There's a lot to know about testing and treatments, but so much of it may only apply to your situation based on the results of testing. I was surprised that the first consult was really quick and simple, but then after we had some testing results to work with, the next consult was very detailed and educational for us.
Can't wait for the update!
