Default 1st dr. appt. since m/c what do I ask?

I have my first RE appointment since my miscarriage and d and c a month ago. I'm still feeling overwhelmed and don't know what I need to ask my doctor. I'd appreciate your thoughts on what I should ask. I want to make a list so I don't forget anything important.

Thanks in advance,
Karla

First off sorry for your loss
I'm going to the infertility clinic late Aug. so I'm like you I'm going to write a list of questions. Here are some of mine if you want to use them.


1. I've read articles that suggest taking baby aspirin can improve
PCOS patients miscarriage rate- so should I start taking that?

2. Should I be put on progesterone suppositories after ovulation
progesterone was low before and I m/c?

3. Am I taking the right dose of metformin?

4. What are my chances (Dr.'s view) on having my next pregnancy
be successful?

5. Should clomiphene be my next step?

That's what I got so far I have some weeks to think. Just remember to ask any question you feel you should - it's your right as a patient to be informed- that's why I'm researching reading any articles and talking to fellow PCOS'ers who have been there done that. We are all here to help each other.

So sorry for your loss.

If you aren't already on Met you might want to ask about whether you should go on it. There are some studies that show that Met may help prevent miscarriages in those with IR.

You will probably want to ask when its safe for you to begin TTC again. (or when the next IUI is to be scheduled)

Any questions about how your body is behaving since the loss

Any questions if you feel you need additional hope coping (antidepressants, counseling)
