My very first encounter w/a Fertility Specialist...

...Was super cool. She gave me so much hope, hope that I lost long time ago. Dr. H told me not to worry and that we will conducting some tests w/your Thyroids, she would also look at my results from the HSG test (she needed the hard copy results) and we will figure out what's going on. She also asked my SDH if he could come in to do the Kruger Test (the strict sperm analysis) test. SDH was super supportive about it, we had given Dr. H his previous test results from when he went to see his regular physician to do a similar test but not as strict. Everything seemed to be going good. I was happy w/this specialist. Right after meeting w/Dr. H we met w/the Financial Director and she gave us some quotes on different prices for the different services they provide. I am terrible w/this stuff even though I graduated w/a degree in Finance. Anyway, I was a bit concerned because our insurance did not cover anything after seeing an OB-GYN for pregnancy related issues. But my SDH and I discussed that we felt this clinic was the one for us and it's best we stick to this one. I pray everything will work out, I even asked my sister, sister-in-law and mother-in-law to pray for us everyday. I hope god hears all our prayers!

I remember a couple of days after meeting w/Dr. H, she sent a very nice letter to my OB-GYN and to my general Physician about how she may help us and maybe w/her initial protocol of taking Clomid, that we may become pregnant very soon. I am sure all Fertility Clinics send out a letter but something about her made it seem very special. This clinic was different and I was happy w/it. More to come....

I'm glad you had such a positive experience. I've never heard of an RE sending a letter, so that's definitely special treatment!

I remember feeling very scared about taking the step to see a specialist, but I felt so much better when it was out of my hands and there was a plan to get me pregnant.

Best of luck-- I hope your doctor is right!
