    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! :)
