Consult Questions

Hi Everyone,
I am preparing to book my first consult with Dr P ( i am emailing with stephanie to find a convenient date and time)
Does anyone know what is discussed in the consult?
Do i need to have anything in particular prepared?
What are some questions i should be asking Dr P?
(I hope to travel to HRC in Cali from Toronto Canada so i will be an out of town patient, am 30 years old, DH is 36, we have one DD 7 years old conceived naturally and born via C-Section)
I started my own list of questions as I go along so that i wont forget, but being new to this and feeling a little overwhelmed with all of the info any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Update - consult booked! for March 5th! :D very exciting

I don't remember if it was someone here or on another board where I found this but check out this list of consult questions:

I look forward to speaking with you!

Thank you Dr Potter! and me too! :)

Hi wantbloo had consult other day with Dr P. Make sure you have paperwork they email you completed and sent back to them. Things discussed were previous obstetrics history, cycle information, what you wish to achieve eg. baby boy etc. and any family history info that is relevant along with chances of success for your age etc. Dr P went through process briefly and i got to ask questions. Went well. Hope this is some help to you. Good luck with your consultation.

Hi Bubbaboo, thats awesome! Thanks for sharing with me.
Whats your next step?

Next step is to get some tests done so they can then ascertain what meds to get me on for cycle. This will be challenging part finding a place to get tests done in OZ. Goodluck with your consult. Hope goes well.
