Hi,

I've got my first fertility appointment on friday at the ERI, What normally happens at your first app?

Hello. I go to the ERI too. After I was referred (while I was waiting for my appt to come thru) I had some bloods and scans done privately, and as a result had been diagnosed with pcos and started on clomid.

So at my first ERI appt I was already part way thru a clomid cycle. They had a long chat with me and my OH, asking about medical history etc. As hubby's SAs had come back normal they focussed on me really. I was given an internal ultrasound that day to check if I'd responded to clomid, and how my lining was looking, and they ordered me a HSG to check my tubes....that appt took a couple of weeks to come through.

It could be different depending on what your issues are, but they do seem to get going quite quickly (which is a relief after waiting so long for the appt!). And the staff, nurses in particular, are lovely.

Good luck!
 
Excellent thanks! Do you have to wait ages for clomid? One of my main issues is not ovulating regularly x
 
Nope....as soon as my private consultant diagnosed pcos he wrote to my GP advising he prescribe provera to bring on a bleed (my own periods were basically non-existent) and clomid....which my GP did.

At the ERI they might want to look into the cause of you not ovulating before they give you clomid, so they might run repeat bloods or scan you, but like I say they seem to move nice and quickly.

It's exciting isn't it?! Oh...and remember your change for the car park ;-)
 
Thanks!

Well i hope things move quick! took me 18 months to get my first bfp but lost twins last month so i've never been away from the ERI! I should count myself lucky that I managed to get pregnant on my own but I miscarried one twin then the other was ectopic so I'm hoping there is no underlying issues!

Nice to speak to someone in the same area!
