First FS Appt - am i forgetting anything???

I have my first FS appt tomorrow in Sydney so i want to make sure im not leaving any important info behind at home

So im hoping someone can tell me if i need anything else

I have:
# Lap and HSG Results
# BT & Ultrasound results
# Dp's SA
# I printed a few FF charts also just incase... no sure if i need these tho... plus they are from mid last year.... i gave up temping

I think i have covered everything but seen as its my first Appt im not sure

Thanks

Just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow hun. I hope the IVF journey for you is short & you get your long awaited BFP really really soon.

Feel free to drop in for a cuppa while you're here :)

Thanks hun - AWW would love to drop in but we are hoping its a quick visit to Sydney as Cody is staying with my mum... Will have to do it another time for sure tho

Um I haven't been to a FS but with my FS/OB appt he wanted to know my full medical and gynie history so just make sure all that is fresh in our mind. Sounds like you have got everything covered. Don't forget your list of questions either. I'd probably also have your doctors contact details incase they want more details on anything you have with you. Don't forget your basics either like medicare card and private health insurance details (if you have it).
I took all my blood tests and DH's SA but my gynie wanted everything retested so don't be alarmed if he wants everything redone. Apparantely some doctors test for different things.

Most importantly wishing you all the luck in the world for you appt tomorrow. Will have everything crossed for you and DH.

Forgot to add he wanted to know DH's full medical history too. And if we had any kids with other people too.

Hi Nikki,

Just wanted to wish you good luck for your appointment tomorrow. Sounds to me you have all bases covered, if you not sure maybe just give them a call and ask if there's anything else. This is a really obvious one but you need your referral as well.

Sara

Thanks Dan and Sara :)

I do have the referral..... i thought i would have everything needed tho just wanted to be safe then sorry

i really dont know what to say to the FS... lol... so i dont really have many questions to ask.... i hope it goes all ok..... will let you all know when we get home tomorrow (should be late afternoon... the appt is at 1pm)

Arghh I remember when we saw a FS back in 2003 we had an appointment but were left waiting in the waiting room 2 hours past our appt time!!!!
Of course this wont happen to you hun, they're alot better these days, you just reminded me thats all LOL

Best of luck for tomorrow Nikki, i hope your special bfp is just around the corner.

lol yeah Dani - I'm hoping that my 1pm appt is right after his lunch break and we get straight in ;) :crossfingers: Wishful thinking i think

Thanks Kristy :)

I took a calender with my recent periods marked on it. He might also ask about both your parents, if they had complications with conceiving or childbirth - so you probably should know that. Also, might need to be prepared for a physical exam down there - if you are starting AC you should get used to dropping your dacks regularly!

Good luck Nikki! :grouphug:

I also brought all blood test results from when I had CD3/CD21 prog tests etc, all my FF charts, ultrasound images etc.

In the end he decided to do a scan for himself (since he had an interal US machine in his room).

I hope this gives you a new direction and puts you one step closer to that long awaited BFP!

Hey Nikki ;)

Just wanted to see how you went yesterday... so sorry I haven't been around but we went away for a few days.

I sent you a text message about the meds before your HSG... hope you got it?

PM me if you like - am heading up your way on Monday and hoping we can catch up for a coffee & chat if you're free ;)

VERY keen to know what FS you chose to see :D

Thanks guys - Today was Fantastic.... i really couldnt have asked it to go any better

Holly - i didnt get your text??? HMMM wonder why...... ill be free monday... will pm you :P
Oh the FS is DR Soo with Westmead...... omg sooooooo soooooooo lovely

OK I have to have another lap and a ummm whats is called..... the camera thingy.... he said i dont have to have a lap done if i dont want but he wants to see whats going on and seen as ill be asleep i said yep go for it if u think we need it.... i need the camera thingy (omg please someone tell me the name lmao its driving me crazy) as my cervix is tight/small and he is worried that with ivf he'll have probs when it comes for the embryo to go in..and also when i was having the HSG the dye didnt fill my uterus so he thinks there is something going on in there.... I cant believe how happy i am to see Dr Soo...... also he said they he will try and unblock my tubes etc.. nothing that my old gyno said.... so im truely truely happy :) After all that if my tubes are truely blocked then its straight to IVF for us :D
DP and i had to have a BT done while we were in sydney but other then that its all systems go

(omg and sooo soooo hot in sydney..... give me the coast any day ;) )

Thankyou again to everyone for all your support :)

Nickie: Happy that this went well for you. Your FS sounds great - good luck with everything.

Sara

Oh hunni, sorry I missed this.... But nice one on the outcome on your appt. Good to know you are being taken care of and in the hands of a specialist, who is going to look at all your options. xo

Wow Nikki your appt sounded really positive. Fantastic news on your plan of attack. So really happy that it looks like everyting is moving forward for you guys, YAY!!

:dance: Yay Nikki for getting a good response.. Smithy raves about Dr soo.. That can only be a good thing... I'm so happy for you...
Dee

Hi Nikki,
I only just found this thread. I was wondering how everything went.
Great to hear you have a plan of attack and sound so positive.

I have my gyno app tomorrow and somehow have to convince him to give me a referral for a FS i have already booked.

Will Dr Soo do your lap and do you know when you are having it down?

So happy it all went well hun, how wonderful that you have a specialist you like & who will look after you well!!!!

Wishing you all the very best

Thanks so much guys :)..... I'm just so happy with how things went today.. DP really liked him too

lilmiss - yeah Smithy is the one who told me about DR Soo...... i couldnt be happier

Sandy - Good luck for tomorrow hun.... you will get your FS referral just demand it... let us know how it goes
Dr Soo may do it... im going public so im not to sure who does it really.... I'm ringing FS tomorrow to see when it'll be.... apparently if i go private his waiting list is April/may anyway so DP and i are just thinking abt what to do... hopefully it happens soonish..

Nikki - YAY that you have found a great FS!!! Thats the first start to everything positive hunny ;)

I can't believe you didn't get my text?! AND the PM's... hhhmm something is up....

Will PM you about Monday but sounds like you have a plan happening... which means you'll have a stack of questions - I'll do my best to answer them for you ;)

So glad to hear you're on the right track now... and SO happy you decided to get a 2nd opinion :D

Holly - i will pm you my number again? maybe i gave u the wrong one... i dunno..

LOL yeah im so glad i got a second opinion too.... tho the funny thing is DR Soo worked with EX gyno ages ago he said...... how weird is that :| ... i thought what are the odd's

I truely feel positive that one way or another we'll fall pregnant with the help of Dr Soo.... i just hope its real soon ;) hehe

Nikki, I am so happy to read that things went well with Dr Soo. I love your positivity and that you are asking questions.
Good luck with everything
xx

Thanks Dusty :).... i would be so lost without BB, i wouldnt know who to ask all these questions too

aaawwwww Nikki, I am so happy for you. You sound so happy matey. xx

I was thinking of you yesterday. I spoke to my bro and he said it was disgustingly hot there again.....

Thanks Sue - i truely feel we are on the right road now... finally

It was shocking in Sydney yesterday... way to hot for me... glad we didnt have to take Cody tho, she wouldnt have handled the heat at all

Yay Nikki!! I'm so glad your appt went well. You sound so positive. It must feel great to know you're on the right track and closer to your next bub each day!

Nikki I am so glad the appointment went well and you liked the FS! I think that's half the battle, finding someone you like and are comfortable with. Good luck with Dr Soo and I hope he gets you UTD quick smart!!!

:dance::dance::dance:
yay for you nikki im so happy you have some answers hun at least you have a plan now hey ?? and very glad that you like dr soo i would have hated sending you to some one you didnt like but his a gentle giant hey ? well ill be watching you with much intrest when i get time lol but you will be utd before you know it :p good luk and keep me posted hun oh and thank you so much for the pm ..

Hehe yeah Smithy... he is nothing like i pictured either.... oooh and he was running late for our appt as he was over at the hospital and when he came in he slammed the door shut to his room before calling dp and i in...... i thought uh no he isnt in a good mood today... lol... but i was wrong and he was fantastic :)

;)huh thats so funny thats sort of what happend to us ..he come out and got our file slammed the door and went back to his room i said to dh oh no he must be ****ed off but no 5 mins later he was calling us in and he was great
good luk hun so what next do you rekon ?? fill me in lol

lol must be just his thing to slam things huh

I think ill be waiting for a month or 2 or 3 (gosh i hope its not to long)to have my Lap and Hysteroscopy done..... not sure... dp and i decided to go public... i duno if that is the right choice or not... im sure it will be fine tho

yeh i always just go public hun all will be fine wont be long and having a break never killed me it only makes us stronger that way were nice and fresh and ready to go hey ,so ill be watching you closley

thanks hun :hug: means alot

Hey Nikki :hug:

Just wanted to send you my warmest wishes and to let you know that I'm thinking of you.... you deserve nothing but the best treatment from your specialists and I sure hope you will be UTD very soon.... so Cody can have a little brother or sister to play with and you can have the chance to be a Mummy yet again!! Seeing as you are such a great Mummy already :D

I can't recommend highly enough seeing an Acupuncturist also whilst on your IVF journey.... it has been proven to help increase chances of falling PG whilst doing IVF. If you see someone who specialises in women's health & fertility like I did, some of them work miracles.

So glad it all went well. xx

Thanks Ren :)- yeah im going to look at going AP again... just not yet as obviously it will be a big waste of money

Nikki - I`ve just seen this, so happy for you that your FS appointment went so well.

Good luck hun and I hope this year is your year :grouphug:

Thanks Dee :)

hi hun.. glad things are getting sorted out.. yaay you're getting answers!
xoxo thinking of you
