AFM, our first RE appt is next Monday. I should O this week, so it'll be at least another cycle before anything can be done I'm sure. MH is pretty nervous for our appt, hopefully he'll come around.
I went to the RE appointment alone. My husband knew about it and wanted to go, but he had depositions in NYC that day. It's almost all female stuff anyway so he didn't miss too much.
I saw a nurse for vitals, then a nurse practioner for a full medical history. She just asked a lot of questions.
Then I met with the doctor who gave me an information folder. The folder was labeled "Infertility Folder," which made me want to punch him, but, moving on... There was lots of paperwork inside to explain the testing that would happen and why it was happening. It was quite useful since I'm unfamiliar with AMH/egg reserve/FSH. He offered genetic testing, as well. I asked a zillion questions.
Then I got an ultrasound of my uterus and ovaries. I had bloodwork that day along with an order for CD3 bloodwork. He wants an HSG and SA.
The best part was when I met with a financial advisor. She had run my insurance while I was visiting all the doctors and then laid out exactly how much everything cost and what my insurance covered. I could've hugged her.
The appointment can be overwhelming so give yourselves time to process all the information before making any rash judgments.
I'm so glad that you're going! :-)
