I go for my first initial infertility testing today. What should I expect?


I go for my first initial infertility testing today. What should I expect?

For our initial visit, we met with the RE and went over the tests that he wanted to do (but didn't really start any testing at the first appointment) - they included blood work on certain cycle days, they look at hormone levels, your ovarian reserve (eggs left) and things like that in the bloodwork, hsg test to check to see if the tubes were clear and semen analysis for DH. Bring a calendar and a notebook to your appointment. They throw a lot of into at you and you need to keep straight when to call to schedule each test and who to call.

Be prepared for your appointment - they will need to know your medical history, that of your partner and any cycle info that you may have.

Check out the links for more info on specific tests.

Good luck!

Today you should only expect to go over your habits and methods with your doctor. And, depending on how long you've been trying you may have some simple bloodwork done to test your hormone levels and such. Mine began testing at 6 months. Then, the waiting begins (again...) This is of course if you are talking about your regular ob/gyn. I'm not really sure about any of the others just yet. Good luck!! =]
