Be doing anything for my appointment tomorrow? Writing down questions? Anything in particular? I have never been in this situation before! LOL And it didn't occur to me until just now that maybe I should be doing something to prepare for the appointment? I don't know!

I'm not nervous now, but ask me again tomorrow at 9:55am!

Any suggestions on things I should ask about? Any help would be great! Thanks!

charts. It will show that you ovulate regularly and each cycle and are timing things right.

I don't know about specific questions, I would think the Dr would do most of the talking and give you your options. But I have no idea. I'm glad there are others here to help you.

But I am soooo excited!

Definitely charts.. and have a list of questions so you don't forget anything.. and perhaps a notepad/pen so you can write down anything he says.

Other than charts, I'm not sure what to bring or ask. I'm definitely interested in Alicia's list.

Charts for sure (like everyone else already mentioned)- to be honest, I didn't take anything but charts and a pen and paper to my RE appt. I couldn't think of anything besides "how can we get pregnant?"

Thanks for the ideas! I have my charts all ready to go on my dresser (well except the current cycle which I'm not planning on bring) and DH is going to work on his list of things he would like asked/addressed since he won't be there. I would have never thought to bring a notebook and pen. That's a great idea since I have no short-term memory lately!

I can't wait to see Alicia's list, but I'm also thinking that pretty much the only thing I'll want to know is what Jackie said... "why aren't I pregnant?"

Thank you all for the good luck wishes too! I'll be sure to update you when I get back, and then I'll update you again later after I tell my DH what went on and get his reaction!

Ok sorry it took me so long...and trust me ladies it is nothing spectacular....just random things to ask....And trust me some of these are kinda repeats so you might want to leave them out...Good Luck tho and KUP!!!
1.What type of options do we have for medication?
2. What type of costs are we looking at for each medication?
3. I know PCOS is the leading cause of infertility in women, could this be a possible reason it is taken us so long?
4. What type of tests will be done?
5. Costs for the tests?
6. I know an HSG can raise your chances of pregnancy the two cycles following the procedure, is this something we should look into?
7. Should we have a S/A done?
8. How much time will I spend at appoints with the plan we have decided?
9. I appear to ovulate regularly, but would I benefit from a trigger shot?
10. What are some possible causes for why it has taken us so long?
11. What type of plan are you suggesting for the next 1-3 cycles?
12. How long will it take us to diagnose our problem?
13. What is the national success rate of the treatments chosen in terms of live births?
14. Are there certain hours or days in which the office isnt open for appointments?
15. Are there things we can do on our own to increase our chances? (Vitamins, Timing Intercourse, Avoiding certain things)
16. Should I keep charting BBT? Some Dr.s dont believe it is relaible...
17. When will my treatment plan start?
