Trouble TTC

My mom and TTTC

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.

Re: My mom and TTTC

  • It's really sweet that she wants to go.  Maybe you could meet for lunch after?  Or would it really be so bad if she waited in the waiting room?  I don't know - I guess I am a mommy's girl - lol.

  • Your mom sounds awesome!  It's great that she is so supportive.  I guess you could take her along, but I'd recommend having her stay in the waiting room.

  • I took my mom along with me to my first saline U/S since DH couldn't go...and it really wasn't bad at all. It's a good thing you have a supportive mom!

  • 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've seen some pretty odd support combo's in the waiting room at my RE.  Many moms, a few friends, and one girl who was either a mail order bride or brought her FIL with her.

  • I think it is sweet that you mom wants to be involved, but I can understand how that might be weird for you. I'd like to wish you the best of luck with your RE visit!

  • Awww, she's really sweet. If she hangs out in the waiting room, I'd be fine with that.

    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!

    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!

  • I think it's sweet, hopefully you can work something out to make her feel involved that you're comfortable with.  She could sit in the waiting room.  :) My mom is coming with my to my FET because my husband can't get off work.  My sister has come with me to a u/s and went in with me.
