I got a Doctors appointment for tue. May 6th with a specialist!! I am so excited. They are going to talk to both my DH and i and start ordering test for both of us.
I hope that it's nothing major and that we will be pregnant in no time

The Doctor i go to shares his office with an amazing fertility specialist. So he may send us that way too. Praying we don't need a fertility specialist though.



So is there anything i should ask my Doctor? Tell him? Bring in?

I have a list of things right now but anything you think i might forget to ask or that you think may be helpful.

I don't really know what to ask or bring. I hope you get wonderful news and don't need the fertility specialist. I hope they can figure out if something is wrong and fix it so you can get the BFP you deserve!!

I don't have any ideas on what you might need to bring, but I wanted to wish you tons of luck for when you go. I hope the Dr will be able to help you get your BFP really quickly... you deserve it!

I was gonna say take copies of any charts and stuff. My doctor (not a specialist, just a gyn) made copies of the charts I brought.

Oh and Good Luck. I hope you find out what the problem is and it is easy to fix.

I agree with Carmela.... bring a copy of your charts. If you're temping (I can't figure Lilypie out) then it proves to them that you're ovulating... it shows them your cycle length.... and how long your phases are. They will probably start out with blood work.... to check your progesterone, testosterone, and other stuff.... if not I would request it. They'll discuss everything with you. Just tell them everything that concerns you.... what you are worried about.... KUP!!!

Like others have said, I'd bring your charts, so they can see that you are ovulating and when, and how long your cycles are. If you have any previous blood work that has been done, I'd bring those results with you.
Bring the names and dosages of any medications and supplements that you are on.

And you probably already have these questions down, but I'd ask them what tests they would want to run, what they are for. And ask what stategy (meds, if any?) you should use to get you pregnant.

Awesome thanks!! I will make sure to request bloodwork if he doesn't bring it up.
