Fertility clinic, what should I make sure is done?

[May55]

Hi ladies.. after my 3 miscarriage in June after seeing and hearing a nice strong heartbeat, and 18 months TTC with PCOS I will be seen at a fertility clinic in October.. I have completly cleared my head of any of these TTCing things.. i stopped charting, stopped supplements and temping and alllll the things I was doing so now I feel like im ready to start preparing for this. My question is, i feel as though unless i push for things and know what i need they often dont do everything, what should I ask for? is there anything specific I should ask to be done? any advice at all as i really have no idea what to expect or what i should have. Thanks a lot!

I really don't know exactly what advice to give but I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and hoping your appointment goes well. For me, my RE likes to have a lot of knowledge, so he did a lot of initially testing...more testing...and more testing. I felt like we were covering all of our bases and it made me feel that we were moving in the right direction. We found several things that I never would have thought would be the reason we weren't getting pregnant. Also, make sure you give them all your history. For me, I didn't mention I had spotting during my luteal phase and apparently that's an issue. So even if you think it's a minor detail, it might be something. I would also write down any questions you think of between now and then and take the list with you. When I got in his office, I would often forget what I wanted to ask, so taking a list helped me. Also, if you don't understand something, ask for them to explain it better. I don't know how many times I had to get him to slow down and talk to me on my level.

Good luck! If you have any questions, I will try and help
