Our experience with FS was a bit of both sides I guess.... We spent about an hour with her discussing various things... I had an ultrasound, swab test, pap smear and then also a handful of various tests were ordered for both of us (Various BT's and a more intensive Ultrasound for me, BT's and SA for him). I got to ask all my questions (although as PP said not all of them could be answered specifically because we didnt have data to refer to). At the end of the appointment we were left feeling like we were doing something and getting at least a few steps closer to the goal. As PP suggested most of the answers did come at subsequent appointments...
I've just been to see my THIRD FS! After 3 years of TTC ... I finally know what I'm talking about. When you haven't started your IVF journey, nothing ties in and there's SO much to know ...
All the different blood tests, hormone levels, procedures, protocols ... even if you read up on them, they still don't make sense until you start the journey and go through a few results...
With our first, we just kinda sat there, absorbed what we were told and did what we were told (except we insisted on trying IUI first- more natural )
With the third, I spent over 1/2 hour asking questions which he patiently answered
Now, I'm a lot more proactive with the cycle and getting answers.
