On my first appointment with my first RE, all he did was a gyn exam, bloodwork, ultrasound and discussion. I did not have a positive experience there, so I left within a few months.
On my first appt with my current RE, he tested my hubby's sperm and showed it to us under a microscope projected onto a TV, did a post coital test (look it up, kinda TMI, sorry), bloodwork for both of us, ultrasound for me, very long conversation about options. Out appointment was 3 hrs long, at least... He was very thorough. He also requested we have some other tests done, like an hsg to make sure my tubes weren't blocked.
Good luck!
