  My H absolutely went with to the first consult with the RE.  Although I do take more of a lead with research, setting things up, etc., I personally consider this to be "our" endeavor, not just mine.

  I did my basic testing with my OB/GYN and DH didn't come to that "consult," but it was combined with my annual so it kind of would have been weird to have him there.  We have seen 2 REs now and DH came to both of those consults.

  It's nice to have another set of ears at the visit. Even if he doesn't have your background knowledge of IF, he may remember something the doctor says that you missed or be supportive in your requesting an RE appointment.

  I would 100% recommend

  My DH went with me to my initial consult.  He went to my HSG too, although he wasn't allowed in the room during the actual procedure.  He tries to go to as many of my appointments as he can.  I am really bad at relaying information though s

  DH definitely came to first consult, and he's been to every appt. thereafter that he can swing with work. I would definitely have him there! Even if he just sits back and listen, he'll have a good idea of what's to come for you both! Hope it goes well!

  I think you will want him to be there with you! Even if he can't go to follow up appointments, the first appointment is a really good one for him to go to.
