First appt with RE Tues... So scared

Hi ladies.. just wanted to introduce myself. DH and i have been trying for a year. I did concieve in january but miscarried by the end of the month. I feel like my OB isnt concerned about hte MC becuase so many girls do MC the first time. but it took us so long for that. MY dh has painful ejaculation and difficulty urnitating and was started on flomax. He is having a cystoscopy done on april 16th. Do you ladies think i should wait. I just feel i have physically and emotionally done so much and everything i can do except for the charting method. What do they do on the first visit? will they even see me, i called and i dont need a referal for my insurance. TIA

By the way.. im CD2 now and i will be CD6 then. I guess i will have to wait the full cycle anyways right before anything is done?

Re: First appt with RE Tues... So scared

first of all welcome.

RE's are WONDERFUL people--- even though some of their tests may not be so great, so please, don't be scared...
I'm surprised they didn't send you for CD3 bloodwork ahead of time... although maybe because it's your first appointment they don't know where you are in your cycle. If they have hours on Saturdays, I would give a call in the AM and see if they can fax a prescription to a lab near your house to get it done ahead of time... otherwise just wait it out til next month.
The first appointment is just a lot of questions about your TTC, your and DHs family history, stuff like that...
if they have a lab on site they may take some blood from you to run other tests... I didn't have a sonogram or anything on my first visit.
If possible, definitely bring your DH... it'll be helpful for both of you to speak about your TTC issues, and history.... GL!!!! Hope your stay here is short!

when i made the appt. i told them that i was CD1 at that time and they said it doesnt matter they wont do anything this month anyways. but ill call sat. just to ask once again. Can it be at any time during CD3. Thanks im tyring to stay positive about the whole process. DH is going with me but he is annoyed that I think we need help with this process. Which i can understand.

First off, welcome and this is board is an amazing source of information and support. The ladies here have been through a lot and have the scars to prove it.

Given that you were PG a few months ago is a good sign for you but it sounds like your DH may have some things going on which might be slowing down your TTC process. I would def. start with a SA for him and take it from there.

G/L... An RE won't do anything until they run all their required tests on you and your DH.
