I recently told my mom about our TTTC. I had to. I'm really close to my mom and I couldn't imagine going through treatments and not telling her. She's been really supportive throughout the whole process.
So today, I call her.
Mom: Baby, when is your doctor's appointment?
Me: Next week
Mom: I'll come with you
Me: Um... mom, it's a reproductive endocrinologist
Mom: Uh huh, we'll get lunch after
Me: Mom, that's a fertility doctor. You don't go to those with your mommy.
Mom: Why not?
Le sigh.

Your mom sounds so sweet. It's awesome that she is so supportive. My mother went through fertility treatments before they adopted my brother and I. She is constantly asking if I asked the Dr. this and that and don't take bullshilt from none of those nurses
She hasn't asked to go to an appointment yet.
Did you hear anything about you DH's SA? Was that today?
Yeah. It was today. Haven't heard anything other than, "I rocked"...ewww. I'm thinking we won't hear the results until we meet with the RE next week.
Fingers crossed for better news!

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I've seen some interesting combos to in the few times I've gone. It's always packed and they have a huge waiting room. I would not bring my FIL ever!
Annovulation/Amenorrhea/Mild Endo Scarring

I agree completely! My mom's out of state for the summer and I miss her a lot! I think your mom is trying to be supportive and helpful. I don't see anything wrong with her waiting for you in the waiting room; I'd love it if my mom could do that for me!
