Very new to treatment

Hi! My daughter is almost 5 and we've been actively tried to have a baby for the last 4 years with absolutely no luck. We decided in April to go see a fertility specialist and we are barely getting our results this Thursday (thanks a lot Tricare and your ridiculous referral system). Anyway, I am a mess. I don't know what to expect. My doctor told us we would probably start Clomid depending on those results. Any of you ladies have any advice or questions I should ask at my appointment?

Re: Very new to treatment

  • Welcome!! Sorry you find yourself here! Since this is your first time with fertility treatments, I might recommend taking notes. It can be a lot of info to take in. :) I hope you get a good plan moving forward on Thursday. Keep us updated with your diagnosis and the treatment plan. The ladies here are very knowledgable and will be able to help with you any questions :)

  • Welcome!  I am sorry you feel so overwhelmed... I was the same way.  It is a lot to think about and a lot to learn about in the world of infertility-- lessons none of us ever wished to learn.  But try to think of this as your chance to make things happen and keep a positive attitude. Did you do all the preliminary testing?  Ovarian reserve?  Sperm Analysis?  Check your tubes?  I think the doctor will have a good plan for you depending on your specific situation. As 1983Lindsey2 suggested... it is a great idea to take notes and bring your husband/partner with you so you are both listening together.  Good luck to you!!!
