Does your DH go to appts with you? DH didn't go yesterday since we knew it was just my consult and blood work, but they did order a SA for him. His boss makes taking time off difficult, so we try and minimize it when possible.
He did for the first few appts. most of them happened to fall during times he was off anyway, so he only had to leave work early a couple times - once was to drop a sample, so that was essential.
Now that I'm starting IVF, he likely won't go to another appt. until it's time for him to drop his sample which is the day of retrieval- so he needs to be there anyway, because they don't want me to drive. I'm not sure if he will make it there for a transfer It's going to depend on his schedule. It's hard for him to get out of work this time of year.

DH has made it to the important ones. When I had blood work, and most of my ultrasounds I told him he didn't have to go. He always asks if I need/want him to go. He was worried about me going to the HSG one alone, but I told him I would be fine. There isn't much he can do at these appointments. He does go to all consults though. I mostly want him there so he can hear stuff first hand.
Mine doesn't go for all of them just the important ones and I agree with PP - I want him to hear it first hand. Only because I'm on hormones and I'm crazy.
Although, I wish he had been there for my HSG. If not just to hold my hand or for me to see his face first. That test was traumatic for me. I usually tell him I don't need for him to go and then it turns out he should've been there.
Either way, if he can go, I take him with me. He's my best cheering squad. And I need it!!!
Don't hump it, Love it!
