Question first visit to the RE

Hi all - so, after trying 2 months of meds & testing with my regular obgyn over the last few months, we've decided to stop all meds until we meet with the RE which happens Nov. 4th... If anyone could pass on any info or suggestions on what helped them for this first appointment, I would greatly appreciate it. I've read tons of books & heard things here/there but I would really appreciate any do's/dont's for this first appt - I'm pretty nervous & still am not too clear on what happens at the FIRST appt... myhusband is planning on coming with me... is it an exam? just talking/history? i'm bringing all my bloodwork/test results (hsg), charting, as well as my husband's results...

thanks so much...

Hi Sams,

When I went to my first visit we mostly talked about history and problems. Also, got orders to do labs, HSG and once that was complete, went back to discuss. Look forward to hearing how your first meeting with your RE went
