just received a letter from dr. brabec detailing our appointment next wednesday. it clears up a lot of the questions regarding what will take place. i have copied an excerpt below...
Your consultation will be structured as follows: you and your partner will first meet with the nurse. She will review your history and prepare you for your visit. You will then meet with Dr. Brabec. During your visit, you will have a consultation and physical examination including a pelvic ultrasound. Dr. Brabec will review the results of your history, examination, labs and ultrasound with you, and make treatment recommendations. Your nurse will review new prescriptions and schedule any necessary procedures or tests (bloodwork may be performed including infectious diseases screening which is a requirement prior to treatment). A financial counselor will be available to discuss costs and insurance with you.
we were pleased to learn that we haven't waited four long weeks to get a 15 minute appointment. it also states in the letter that we will be there for several hours so i thought i should give those of you who will be anxiously waiting news a heads up.
we are very excited about getting this process started and are doing everything we can to prepare. barb gave me a a couple of guided imagery cd's that has guided meditations to help with fertility. for those of you less familiar, guided imagery is a popular form of directed daydreaming, a very simple way of meditating that is very easy, and actually quite relaxing. I have also recently started doing fertility yoga which has been very nice. we have found mixed opinions regarding acupuncture so we are going to wait to see what advice the doctor gives us. so, that is all for now. i assume we can count on everyone sending positive vibes our way next week. i believe if i get a clean bill of health the process should move along pretty quick. as always, we will keep you posted, ad nauseam:)
