[quote=Anonymous]This might be one of those situations where you sometimes have you bring your child with you. You could talk to your monitoring office and ask them when the least busy time within the monitoring window is, then show up at that time. Once you sign in, maybe you could even take your toddler outside of the office/waiting area, and ask them to call you on your cell when it is your turn. Hopefully they would be accommodating.

I know some people beg others not to bring children to IVF appointments, but as someone who has been through IVF, I understand that sometimes you don't have many other options. I occasionally saw kids in the waiting area during my appointments and it never bothered me.

And, even if they weren't in the waiting area, who's to say you won't see pictures of the nurse's kids hanging around her station, or the board that my center had with pictures parents sent of the babies the center had helped them conceive? Or, leave the office after your appointment and see a child in the elevator? Kids are everywhere and can be a very painful reminder when going through infertility, but they are a fact of life and are not the root cause of our pain.

Just my two cents if you need to go that route. Call the center and ask for their recommendation, you are certainly not the first person to be in this bind.[/quote]
