F/U first RE visit

[Cheesecake]

So I just got away from the hospital. It took LONG! The doc was called into the OR while we were waiting our turn, so we were seen 45 minutes too late.
Doc was nice, asked questions, was happy with my chart, said that looked really good actually, asked me to show on the chart which days we have sex and how often, didn't have anything negative to say about that either.
Then she dildo-cammed me. She said my ute looked beautiful and she could see ovaries and showed me an egg (or well, follicle, but she tried to keep everything in normal-people-language).
She's now asking the other hospitals I've been to for my kidney stuff for my files there, so they know what my normal situation is, so that when I get pregnant (she kept saying when, not if, that felt good!) they'll know what to look out for.
She's also sent me (will happen next week) to get another ultrasound, but at the radiology department, as they have the super high tech see even more than the regular ones - machines, to make sure my uterus and ovaries are indeed, as she thinks, perfect. And she's had me make an appointment with another ob/gyn who should be able to tell me more about how things work and what to deal with because of my PKD.

She told me that unless the fancy ultrasound says otherwise, there's no reason to think there's anything wrong. So after the pre-pregnancy consult with the other doc, if everything is okay, she wants us to keep trying a few more cycles and if I'm not pregnant by February, she said I should make an appointment with her for March, because she would then want to start testing more.

All in all I'm pretty happy with this outcome. She was very reassuring, telling me she didn't think I was old, and indeed, talking about when I get pregnant, not if. She did ask whether I knew the risks about my disease and passing it on to a child and whether I'd want genetic testing and stuff for the PKD and when I told her my ideas about that, she said that it was obvious I had given it a lot of thought and that was great. She did ask how much I knew about how much a pregnancy would affect my own body and how to handle if my kidneys start acting up and t'hat that's by no means a contraindication to getting pregnant, but that I should know what to look out for and that's why she wanted me to see that other doc.

Anyways. I just wrote a novel. Doc was really nice. I've got my ultrasound appointment and the other doc's appintment later this month and after that we just keep trying on our own until February.

That's really wonderful news for you! I really hope that the doc's ease and assurance helps with any worries that may have been causing mental blocks or something at this point, and you get lucky right away! It's nice to be told you're healthy!

I'm glad it went well. I found with myself when I first went to the RE it was overwhelming, but soon I got into a routine and it just became another part of my life. I hope you won't have to be there long.

Yay for good docs and beautiful utes! That's great that you were reassured about the things you've been doing and the process in the future.
