Getting Ready for Your First RE Consult
A few important things to keep in mind while scheduling, during and post your first consult with a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE)
#1 Research: There is no such thing as the best doctor but there is such thing as a great doctor for your needs. Do research and choose a doctor based on the following criteria:
#2 Get organized before your first appointment: Get your medical history in order
1. Do you or your partner have a family history of infertility or multiple miscarriages?
2. If you feel comfortable ask your parents about your reproductive family history.
3. If you or your partner have/had any previous medical procedures, health problems, or any seemingly unrelated medical conditions: bring along all related information.
#3 Its OK to change your mind: Remember that just because you had an appointment does not mean you need to stick with that specific doctor going forward
#4 This is your body and your treatment: You get to be a part of the decision process with your doctor
