Fertility Doctor? What to expect at first visit?

I have been trying to get pregnant for a year and a half. I have never had a regular period schedule (in fact this year I have had 4 total, one in January, one in March, and two in August). I made an appointment with a Reproductive Endocrinologist (fertility dr), and am nervous about what to expect on my first visit. My husband will be going with me. I filled out the paper work and all that stuff that the sent me, but I'm just curious, is the first visit more of a question/answer session, or do they start doing exams and such. I'm 24 years old, been married for 2 years, and we really want to start a family. Anyone have any advice on what to expect?

first visits are generally a history-gathering session. You fill out all the paperwork and answer questions that best gives the Dr an idea of which direction to go with treatment options. It sounds like the first thing they will do is ascertain why you don't have regular periods and try to regulate them. They may also test your husbands count and motility as well as the viscosity of the fluid.

Good luck to you, and don't be nervous!

We have 2 kids from IVF. Good luck.
