Hi my name is Kristin.  I am 25 almost 26.  DH and I have been TTC since June of 2007.  I have known since I was young that I was going to have problems TTC.  My cycles have always been irregular.  AF comes every 2-6 months and last from a week to 2 weeks.  I have been on BCP since I was 18 to regulate my cycles.


When I told my first OBGYN that I was coming off of BCP to TCC, but I always had these very long cycles that were all over the place and I was a little concerned about that.  Her response to me is that this is totally normal and that she expects to see me in the next few months for my first prenatal appt.  Well then in August I had some terrible pain and went to the ER and they were able to tell me what it was not from (appendicitis, kidney stones) and then they told me everything it could be and to follow up with my OBGYN.  My OBGYN blew me off told me this was all in my head.  I left crying and called my PCP.  She got me in to see a new GYN.  He said the crazy cycles were a concern and ordered some BW.  The BW results were concerning he said and he gave me clomid.  I got pg and mc early.  I got my first AF after my MC 74 days ago.  When I went to my PCP for a check up I had so many questions for her and she said how about we send you to a fertility specialist.  So I have an appointment at the end of this month.  I am excited about getting some real answers about what is going on and being monitored more closely then some BW and a prescription for clomid. 


Does any one have an suggestions for the fertility appt?  I have made a binder and put 3 sections in it: questions, OBGYN history, and medical history.  Any questions you advice asking?  Any suggestions about what to bring to the appt?  Any suggestions at all welcome.  Thanks.
