AW: RE appt recap

[mrsg80intn]

Hi ladies - I haven't been able to come out and play much because we've had friends in town for the weekend and things have been nuts in general, but a few people have reached out and I wanted to fill you in on what's what...

So, we had the RE appt on Friday with the new RE (at the same office - just a new doc).  We loved her.  She was great and the right personality for us to feel comfortable.  She went through all of our records beforehand (the first RE read them while meeting with us for the first time), and was understanding.  She actually did IVF herself so she was knowledgeable about everything.  

Ultimately, She recommended we move forward with IVF with PGD. We did some blood tests (a blood clot test she couldn't find in my history, an AMH test, and also the genetics/Counsyl tests) on Friday.  I'll need to do CD3 BW on my next cycle and also schedule an HSG (doc wants to make sure that nothing has changed since my surgery and hysterscopy in 2013). If all goes well, we'd go on BC to start the IVF process in March... I was hoping for sooner because I hate to feel like I'm wasting more cycles, but we can't get in for an IVF class until Feb 18 and the IVF class is a pre-req for the process to begin at my RE. Can someone point me to where would be best for IVF insight on this new place?!?!  I'm still too new to know what I'm doing (though I guess we all are).  

THanks for all the support and for everyone who has reached out.  I'm really thankful for each of you.

I'd offer some goodies like a drink or cake slice, but seriously I have no idea how to do PIPs over here... I had barely figured it out at the old place - lol.

There is a section on this site called "TTC & infertility IVF".

Congrats on getting to this step. It can all feel super overwhelming when you start. just remember deep breaths! It got me through the crazy that IVF is!

[mrsoscarfelix]

No advice on IVF but good luck with everything! I am glad you and your H like your new RE!

[msugirl]

So glad you had a good experience with your new RE! Wishing you lots of luck on all the testing. It definitely can take a while to do all the tests and education for IVF, but it's such a different experience that it's good to know about all the risks / benefits and everything that goes along with it.
Wishing you lots of luck!

Hey sweetie. I'm so happy your apt went well! You know we will all be here to help you through it all! If we are lucky to get Pg again and it ends in another m/c we will be turning to IVF w/ PGD as well.

We are here for you love! ((((hugggggggg))))

I'm glad you and your DH like your new RE. Wishing you lots of luck with everything.

I'm glad you like your RE and that you were able to talk everything out. IVF is really overwhelming at first, but the key is to just know your specific plan, and take it one day at a time. GL moving forward and definitely check out the TTTC/IF board.

[sarcaztic10]

Hi!! I already told you but I am so glad you found an RE that both you and YH like! I hope we like her just as much. FX that everything moves smoothly for you in the coming months!

[grneyes]

Glad you liked the new doctor and their plan for you. It's good you're getting your testing out of the way first to rule anything else out. Hope the time passes quickly!

[agpjt413]

Hey lady! I'm so glad that you and DH liked your new RE. Just curious, did she mentioning your lack of temp shifts after triggers? I'm sorry that it's not happening as soon as you would like. That sucks that you have to wait a cycle, but I'm so glad that you have a plan in place. I can't help you at all with the IVF process, but I'm sure you can find some helpful people. Maybe in IF?

[holdingouthope]

Hi lady! I'm glad you like your new RE and have a good plan for moving forward! Did you ever get an endometrial biopsy done, BTW? I know we talked about it, but I'm feeling very out of the loop right now!

[kellybenelly83]

I'm glad you like your RE so much and that you have a plan to move forward, March isnt too far away! FX the time flies by

[rubysi]

I am so glad you like your new Dr. I am right behind you in IVF land. I am working on securing funding right now and it looks like it will be March or April for us. Good luck.

[yummybunny]

So glad you liked the new RE. I hope all the bloodwork comes back quickly. March is just around the corner!

[megrae12]

Such a good question!!!!!  And I'm such an idiot I forgot to ask.  I will ask her again.  I did give her my charts and she didn't seem concerned, but I was so flustered after they were 45 mins late and then so charmed by her approach that I just forgot to ask :-( 

[momentomori]

Good luck! I'm so glad it was a good experience and that you like her.

[lickwed]

I'm glad both of you like your new doctor. I just wanted to say good luck in the next few months. March is just around the corner.
