our first FS appointment was pretty much text book to what BW has just said - lots of questioning about medical history for both DH and myself, confirmation of test results we'd already had (was already diagnosed with PCOS by GP and gyno), outlined the tests we'd need (and like BW's hubby, DH was able to produce his sample at home and drop it at the lab) - and gave us a basic idea what we'd be going through. were sent off with a patholgy request a mile long, and once the "vampires" had done there thing, we were able to go back and get started.
We just had our first app with FS this week.
We had a lot of questions thrown at us but because we were pretty organised and had been trying seriously we were able to give him a lot of info to help us cut to the chase.
We had organised dh's semen analysis so results arrived before we went. It took 7 working days to get the results. If you want to get it done on the spot, then I think dh needs to abstain for no more or no less than three days prior to the appointment.
My blood tests these are being redone as they were 6 months old, checking hormones and absolutely everything else.
I also took along my bbt charts and past ultrasound etc.
We have been trying for a year and are both 38 so we were basically advised of the path ahead in the first visit. We will be having a Lap asap and progressing to IUI or IVF straight after.
I guess if you havent done any testing prior to your appointment then you'll have to get all that done and go back for 2nd app.
I hope you have a really positive visit to the Fs. I found it a relief, progress!!
Good luck!!!!
