Now what .... ?

Hi Ladies!

My hubby's sperm analysis came back normal. So has our bloodwork. Now what?

I have an appt on May 8th to meet with an RE.

Can anyone whose been through this give me some info on what to expect?

Thanks so much.

Great news about your hubby. I would imagine that the RE would want an HSG or SIS if you haven't done one to make sure your tubes aren't blocked and system is clear. Might prescribe Clomid if you are clear unless you want to be more aggressive.

Great news it came back ok! I'm sure he's relieved, and you as well.

I don't have any RE advice since I tapped out before going but wanted to wish you all the luck at your appointment!

We had the same - normal SA, normal bloodwork, then we had HSG and finally, the collaborative consultation with RE.  I have PCOS and Hypothyroidism so the conversation went a little differently.  They will probably ask you your expectations and how aggressive you want to be.  They will always offer IUI and if unsuccessful, IVF.  It's usually an appointment that requires pen and paper, so be prepared and make sure you have conversations before and after what the furthest you plan to go.  I'm still trying to talk DH into IUI.
Good Luck!

Great news on your H's SA results. After our SAs, I had an HSG to make sure tubes weren't blocked and then we started the least aggressive plan and gradually went up from there. Take notes and ask questions, and if your RE has someone in the office who is familiar with insurance benefits and financials, make friends with him or her. Ours was a wonderful resource as to what a cycle/protocol would cost, how many cycles we had left covered or partially covered, what our insurance didn't cover and payment plans if we needed them. I always went into a medicated cycle knowing exactly what we had to pay out of pocket and that took some of the anxiety away from an already stressful situation.

I don't have any advice re: an RE but glad to hear YH's SA and both of your bloodwork came back normal. Keep us posted!!

Great news! I'm assuming they'll send you for an HSG to make sure your tubes aren't blocked, and then RE will ask how aggressive you want to be. We're dealing with some MFI, so we went straight to IVF since other interventions were less likely to work. Good luck!

You've been given excellent experience/suggestions so I'll just say yahoo for a good results! Hope you and your RE have a plan going forward that proves successful!

I agree with pp and yay on a normal SA for your H!
