I know for the retrieval because you need someone to drop you off and pick you up, but what about others? My DH has asked me if he needs to come to bloodwork & ultrasounds but I tell him that there's really not much to see at those appts. It's usually pretty quick, too, so it would probably be really boring for him.

What about the transfers? Did your SO/DH go with you?
DH hasn't asked but we also have guests in town. I'm thinking that this might be one he should come to.

Oh, I've done IUIs and DH didn't go to those. (He was usually at the office earlier in the day to drop off the sample and so I didn't think he wanted to drive all the way back to the clinic for the IUI.)

Do transfers take about the same amount of time as IUIs? I would think so, but I don't know. (Though, I will be given a vallium prior to my transfer. Which is new to me. Oh, and the full bladder and the pre-shot of PIO.) They are are doing the same procedure essentially, right? They'll have my sample prepped and they'll inseminate me using the catheter. Oh, yeah, I should be able to have a picture of my embies! So exciting!
