Re: I'm SO angry

I know I personally wouldn't want to reschedule b/c I couldn't wait to get started. I think you will probably be able to answer most of the questions yourself. Having said that, I thought it was important to have DH there so he understood everything that was going on and also to have another set of ears...it's a lot to remember.

Re: I'm SO angry

They can be frustrating sometimes, can't they? I had something happen to me with one of my appointments and my husband wanting me to reschedule.

I would not reschedule. I would try to have your husband do what he can to come and if not, you can go by yourself and they can see him at the next appointment.

Good luck with your appointment!

Re: I'm SO angry

Don't reschedule. I sometimes think men are no use in this area. Well except one use . We have our own business together and we really both can't take time off. Especially DH, he's really the major player in our business. So, after letting myself get way too upset b/c he's not going with me, I realized it's not doing me a bit of good (or us for that matter). So, you go, you ask the questions you need to ask and then you can go home and talk to DH about it. It's fine. There's no point in getting frustrated. This whole IF is frustrating enough and scary.

I hope I didn't sound rude.

Best of luck at your consultation.

Re: I'm SO angry

The first appointment should be with you and DH present since the doc will probably want a full medical history from both of you. Whenever I see Dr. Brenner alone he asks where my DH is and I always feel stupid. For your first appointment, your DH should def. be there. JMO!

Re: I'm SO angry

At my consult I met with Dr. Brenner by myself and he didn't have a problem with it. DH runs his own business and sometimes gets stuck last minute. I definitely wouldn't reschedule. I think they would prefer if you SO was there, but it is not necessary. good luck!

Re: I'm SO angry

I agree- I wouldnt reschedule either...If it turns out your FH really can't go (you never know things change )....Maybe you can bring a mini tape-recorder if you have one, just so you can sit down together afterwards so he can be a second set of ears and he can be up to speed on what exactly is going to be happening...Unfortunately, IF is extremely time consuming and although I'm sure all DH's would like to be there for every appointment, I guess the sad reality is that- the world around us keeps going- and they have to work ...Good Luck- I hope something changes and he can be there with you !!!

Re: I'm SO angry

I went to most appointments without DH...his schedule is very difficult to work around. I wouldn't reschedule, but I really like the idea of a mini-recorder.
We had some experience by the time we went to Kenigsberg, so I didn't think it necessary for DH to be there and Dr. Kenigsberg was fine with that.

Re: I'm SO angry

I wouldn't reschedule either. I have been to most of my appointments alone. You will be ok. But I would make it clear now that it is important to you he try to come to as many appointments as his work schedule allows.

Re: I'm SO angry

When I called to make my first appointment with Dr. Brenner I asked if DH needed to be there and they said no.....HTH
