Hi amy7878,
I just thought I'd let you know how my OB appointment went when we started. It was really easy. At that time they didn't know I had PCOS so they did blood and u/s. Since you already know you have PCOS is should be fairly simple.
Odd are they'll give you clomid. I was told to try it for 6 months before going on to an RE. And that was pretty much it, very easy. A lot of women only need the clomid. Praying it all goes well for you!

CEB,
Thanks for tellin me about your "first" appointment went. I'm hoping that they give me clomid but i think because my cycles are so long that they might put me on bcp for awhile to try to get them to shrink a little bit........I tell you I have never been soo nervous for an appointment in my life lol. I know that he's going to tell me to lose weight and all the jive so i think im ready to hear whatever he has to say!!
Thanks again hun!!

I can definitely relate to how nervous you are. I still get that way every time. I'm glad you are taking the step to go. I have a huge regret of putting off going to the RE. My gyno and DH urged me, but I was so scared. Now I really regret it, because I lost maybe 1-2 years due to my nerves. I'm sending lots of thoughts and prayers, for some positive news.

Pray,
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers hunny. I think of you and CEB all the time and I pray that you get that BFP that you are looking for. I understand the scared part.........I think I'm more scared that he will tell me that I cannot have kids and that will tear me apart but I will never know unless I try. That's my thought........the doctors have fair warned me that this might be a long road but I have responded quickly to random things (they put me on provera to kick start a cycle and I had one with the first round..a perfect (srry tmi moment) 7 day bleed cycle) so they said theres still hope. I believe that its never too late and that there is always hope!
Keep believin Pray and it could and will happen for you. I know that it will!
I'll keep you updated hun!!
Thanks for responding hun!!

HI LADIES!!!
Just thought I'd stop in rel quick while I had a second. Well, my appointment was this morning and you were right (as if I ever doubted you!) He put me on Clomid 50mg and I am also still to take the Metformin which I just realized is 500mg. I am insulin resistant and all that jazz. So as of right now we are just waiting on AF to show her bitchy little face so we can get this ball rolling..........OH! One question ladies!!! Have any of you ever had to take in your DHs semen? He wants to check my DHs motility and said that all I have to do is get a sample cup from the lab where I get my bloodwork done and have him.....well....you know.......into the cup and take it back to the lab within an hour. Have any of you ladies done this? If so when is the best time to do this? I thank you all for the constant thoughts and prayers! I think of you all everyday and I hope that we all get those BFPs!!!!!

RE wanted to check husband's sperm so we did it. there doesnt have to be a specific time of day. but a word of advice, our doctor kinda sprung it on us. when we first met her, she was like "since you are already here, why dont you give us your sperm". my husband was totally blind sided and not prepared. i am not sure how your husband is but my husband was very upset and embarrassed afterwards. so depending how your husband is, make sure he is prepared and knows what to expect. DH kept thinking that the nurses were laughing at him. ofcource they werent but he was so paranoid. good luck!

We lived so far away from our clinic that my husband had to produce his sample in one of the little rooms!!! When our RE asked him if he needed a prescription for Viagra, he turned as red as a tomato!
He was pretty embarassed and I even offered to go back into the little room with him but he said no. After he gave the sample and we left, he started describing the little room to me and making fun of the adult video that they had set up on this tiny tv!!! That made us both laugh and he felt better. Good thing, too, because he ended up having to give two more samples!!!

Hello,
I'm glad the appointment went well for you. Did they give you provera? I never get AF without provera.
As far as DH sperm sample yes we had to do this. It was a little frustrating because we were not given any instructions. We were not aware that we had to abstain for at least 2 days. That was strike one against us. Then, I hate to laugh but DH spilled the cup. He was too embarrassed to say anything when he took the sample in and when they ran the test it came back REALLY bad. They sent him to a urologist and he had to take in another sample. It was much better with slight motility issues but nothing bad. It cracks me up how traumatized our husbands can act to this stuff yet the things we go through is nothing compared to them lol.

Hi Hun!
He put me on provera back in Jan or Feb of last year. I took it every other month and i havent taken any since April of last year. My cycles started comin in on their own but they were infrequent......i have now timed them down to 78 days apart.
Oh my lol yea that is kinda funny......men find things like that soooo embarassing!!! I think they fail to look at what we go through in the process of TTC and then finally with the birth (God willing).
They crack me up lol.

Glad you have a productive appointment. I hope that the Clomid is the help you need to conceive. Keep us posted!
Yes, my poor DH has done the collections many times. A few from home and several times in the horrible little room. We had two IUIs and he had to submit his collection on site for those as well. The ones at the office are very difficult for him and there have been times that he almost gave up. They are very stressful when they are done at the office. Hopefully, he will have good results.
