Moving to an RE

GL! I hope your appointment with the RE goes well! Ditto PPs that my first appt was mostly going over history; they did have me fill out a bunch of forms in advance. I also had an u/s the first visit.

What previous posters said about having medical records sent. Good luck!

Thank you all so much. Dh and I talked about it a little bit more and now I'm really excited. The unknown is scary but at least it's some sort of progress.

Thanks for the tip on bringing my medical records @bruinsbabe33. I called my obgyn and they're going to have them ready for me to pick up.

It just helps save time so they don't have to send over for them! (at least, I found it helpful)

It's so enlightening to meet with the RE. I loved my OB, but there's just something different about being with the doctor that is in the business of getting people pregnant, not just working with them after they get knocked up or keeping their vaginas clean.

You've made great gains, and even though you don't meet the requirements for IVF yet, there is something to be said for what you've done. The requirements, unfortunately, are there for reasons...but don't be afraid to toot your own horn in how far you've come.
