1st appt with RE (nurse): What to Expect

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
We've been TTC since November of 2008 and I went ahead and scheduled my first appt at the RE's office. I've had my Day 3 levels test and HSG by Gyno and DH had sperm count checked out and everything was ok.

I'm really nervous, but what should I expect/discuss on this first visit?

You will probably talk about your results and begin to formulate a plan. My RE developed a three staged plan. We'll try this for 3-6 mos, then this for 3 mos, then maybe something else. And you should get a cost projection for each. All is subject to change, though.

Depending on where you are in your cycle, you may get an ultrasound to see if any follies are developing. You may have to wait until next cycle to start any treatments.

Don't be surprised if s/he wants to put you on a follicle stimulating drug like clomid or femara, even though everything looks good. It's a standard first course of treatment for unexplained IF. But do have a midcycle u/s to see what your follicles and lining are doing.
