Hello everyone. This is my first post on this website. I just found the site yesterday after being referred by a member here, who is a member on another website I frequent. This website is great! There's SO much info. I have my 1st appt this morning w/ RE. I was just wondering what to expect? Do they usually have your spouce go in to? Do they just talk to you, or do tests also? I'm a little nervous. Thanks.

First of all welcome to SoulCysters.

My first time at the RE was basically a consultation, overview of everything that I have been through and what steps the Re wanted to take, My husband was allowed to come in and he was asked questions also. We did bloodwork, and scheduled appts for him to get a Sperm Analysis.

Well, I survived my appt, lol. No, it wasn't that bad. The staff & the dr were wonderful. She spent about 45 mins reviewing my history and what I've done so far. I went in alone, which was fine with me. Then she did a physical exam, vaginal ultrasound & regular pelvic ultrasound. She did the regular pelvic ultrasound because with the vaginal, she could not see my right ovary.

Results of ultrasounds show enlarged ovaries, which were also noted in my files from my old dr. In 1999, I had an ultrasound which showed enlarged ovaries. At that time, nothing was mentioned to me about it. RE explained to me that these are the type of ovaries that produce 5 & 6 babies born that you hear about sometimes on the news. The problem seems to be that they hold all the eggs that are not being released. If I have success with a medication to have them release the eggs, they will not just release 1 egg. They will release a bunch of eggs. But, she said that the risk can be minimized with Metformin.

I had to go through a round of blood work today (make sure I'm not currently pregnant, since I haven't gotten AF in a while), but when that comes back negative then I will go on Provera to bring on AF. Then on cd 3, another round of blood work. Depending on those results, I'll find out what the next step is.

So, I'm feeling much relief now that the appt is over. I am very happy with the dr and hopefully this will lead me to a BFP soon.
