Alrighty everyone. after 18+ months of trying and numerous tests later, I'm off to the RE today for my initial consult. I'm nervous but excited. Here's my question, how many of you have gone to an RE and what should I expect for my first appt?

The first visit is always the longest:) When i went i was on CD3 which for BDing making standards is great...they were able to start monitoring me that cycle...So me and the DH went sat with the RE and discussed our family medical history..our medical history...they go through ur medical insurance..like what is and isnt covered...than we both had blood work done...and since i was on CD3 they did an internal u/s to see how the follicles were growing...hope this helps:)

Back from the RE. Everything went well. DH has to go for a semen analysis and I need to get an HSG done between CD 5 and CD 11. Then he's going to put me on clomid right a way. :) So excited. I just hope the HSG and semen analysis go well. I would love to get pregnant the first round. That would be a perfect gift to go home over Christmas with. :) Wish me luck and if any of you pray, please pray for DH and I that everything goes well.
