RE is a reproductive endocrinologist. I've just been referred to one after I visited my regular doctor as I'm having problems ttc. I don't know how it differs to an ob/gyn but I've been told that my first visit will include a complete medical history, pap smear, blood tests and an u/s. Does this differ to your first visit to your ob/gyn?

An RE has all the training a regular OB/GYN has plus extra schooling in infertilty, including experience in ART, & often specializing in conditions like PCOS, or endometriosis (sp?). Often times REs take a more aggressive approach to fertility & they also tend to more close monitoring during cycles. At least that's the case in my experience. Good look to everyone!
