Josie,

As if a FS consult isnt hard enough, without the added expense added on top .. Not a pleasant way to end an appointment

You are not alone, I have a girlfriend who was charged for her DH being in the room, without her knowledge, in a Sydney clinic

I personally have never been charged for my DP being there, though after 5 cycles, I think he, due to work commitments has only been there once

Over the coming months, (if you decide to continue with treatment) you will become quite "close" with your FS's receptionist, you should ask her, don't be
shy to do so, trust me, they are there to help, and I have ALWAYS found my FS receptionists, to be so warm and caring, and couldnt help enough

The last thing you need is to be going into fertility treatment with doubts, it's hard enough as it is

:-)
