We went to our first FS consultation a few weeks ago. Whilst the meeting was informative (nothing our GP couldnt answer) and expensive, the FS told us we where 'normal' after reviewing our blood tests, SA and BT charts and told us to continue trying for another 4-6 months then come back for a laparoscopy (what was he thinking??).

We asked for some tests and the only one that was agreed on was progesterone to check for ovulation. We asked for the HSG test and it was long windily explained it was not necessary in our case.

Why would a laparoscopy be recommended prior to a HSG or ultrasound tubal patency test? Surly a laparoscopy is much more invasive than a HSG/ultrasound tubal patency test!

The only supplements was advised was folic acid. Other supplements like levit <sp>, multivitamins, zinc tables was all frowned upon and considered a waste of money.

We left feeling doubtful with this FS as he was pushy and the feeling to wanting to do things his way. He appeared frustrated when we explained how and what we needed. Definitely, not something we needed.

Is it common for folks to approach another FS for 2nd diagnosis? We might get a copy of the results of the tests we have done so far and get a second opinion from another FS.

As always thank you for the input and advise. This forum has really been helping us navigate these uncharted waters for us.
