And, actually, I saw the same dr the first 2 times I went, but I saw a different one when I went the third time (it's just based on who is there when you go). I actually preferred the one I saw most recently, and I may request to go on a day when he's there for my next appointment. The important thing is to be sure you have someone who is willing to listen to your questions and answer them thoughtfully, without making you feel stupid.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525951727673893338.post-40210849899058147842009-10-22T12:45:48.111-05:002009-10-22T12:45:48.111-05:00Congrats on selling the house! That must be such ...Congrats on selling the house! That must be such a relief! We are renting out a condo that we meant to sell when we bought our house, but then the market crashed, and now we're stuck with both and rent doesn't cover our costs there...so yeah, I can imagine your relief, & it's nice to hear some good real estate news :)<br /><br />For your 1st RE appt (just thought I'd add this on here since I'm here instead of on your other post!): be prepared that these guys are often strictly IVF doctors. I was shocked at my first RE visit to be told, at 27 years old, that we needed to go straight to IVF. I thought there would be some steps in between the 2 IUIs we'd done with my OB and IVF (I don't know exactly what I imagined those steps would be...but I wasn't ready to be told IVF w/ ICSI was our only option!) I walked out in tears, then found another RE who told me basically the same thing, but in a much nicer way, and by then I was more ready to hear it. Now with a new RE (actually in the same office as that very first one) who believes IVF is not in fact our best option...but that's another story. Oh also (& since you're a planner like me, I bet you've done this already!), make a list of every single question you can think of to ask in your initial consult. This may well be the longest conversation you ever have with your RE (and one of the few when your feet aren't up in stirrups), so it's your best information-gathering opportunity. And take lots of notes on his answers. Also have all TTC medical records with you if at all possible (or even send copies now) to get him up to speed on your situation. And, if you don't feel comfortable with this first RE, do not hesitate to find a new one!
