First visit to the GP:how to prepare myself?

Post by Anie »

Hello.It's me again.....sorry i keep bothering you ladies :S

My GP and my husband's is the same doctor and we are thinking in making an appointment next month to talk about infertility from his side.

My question is: what kinda question the doctor will make?Will he ask me for menstrual cycle chart or something?

Do you think we both should go together or shall i go on my own?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi ya

I remember back at the start, I didn't know what to expect. My doctor asked questions like, how long have you been trying for? and questions surrounding that. My doctor didn't ask too many questions but then referred us to a fertility clinic. I had the tests done first although I kind of knew that it wasn't me as I have a 10yr son from a previous relationship. Anyway after tests we found out that my partner had a zero sperm count. He decided that he would have a biopsy and his doctor found enough sperm to do ivf with. It has been a long process from when we first visited the GP till now. I am now 2 weeks away from having my egg retevial and my partners open biospy done. It is a long process but hopefully it's all worth it in the end. This is a great web site to ask questions as the ladies here are really supportive and know lots about the ivf process. Hope this helps (I'm still pretty new to the whole thing too!)
All the best!!
