Hi there,
I am going for my first appointment at Fertility Associates in 2 weeks and was just wondering what kind of things they do at the first visit? we have been TTC #2 for 8 months with no luck and I had blood tests last week which showed that I am not ovulating. DS was conceived after 3 months but we wernt trying. I think the Depo injection is to blame for all of this! All feedback/help is greatly appreciated

For my first appointment we talked about my cycles, my medical history and health and DH's. We'd done our blood tests/sperm tests prior so he went over those and then he did an ultra sound to check out my uterus and ovaries (it was one of those internal ones so I guess be ready for that).
I found it quite good and it felt quite worthwhile, I wasn't expecting the examination on the 1st appointment so it was good to be able to have all that done at once and feel like I got my moneys worth. He then pretty much outlined where we'd go from there - which was a laparoscopy so we went away to find out a bit about that and if I could get it privately or not. Pretty thorough I felt. Good luck! I felt heaps better about being proactive and going to see them and felt like we were on track. I've heard lots of other positive stories about Fertility Associates too. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

| Hi Ab-b. My experience was much the same as what Chelle stated: discussed my cycles, med history, health, weight etc. We had already done blood and sperm tests prior so discussed that also. I went straight on the waiting list for a laporoscopy and only had to wait 6months for that. Went straight onto IVF after lap (had to wait about 2 months to starth the cycle though. |
