Hi everyone, just looking for a bit of advice.
My husband and I are currently going through IVF (just had embryo transfer today) and it has become apparent that he does not cope well in the hospital environment! He has passed out 4 times at various appointments seemingly with no warning signs and usually right at the end of the appointment/procedure.
Today he passed out after our transfer procedure as he was walking out the room. He says he felt fine while the transfer was being done, then went to leave to room and turned a horrible grey colour before slumping to the floor in the doorway.
This is our 2nd IVF cycle and I have tried to keep him out of as many appointments as possible as we want to avoid this happening so often, however today he was adamant that he was fine and wanted to be there.
My question is if anyone else suffers from these types of fainting episodes and if there is any treatment that helps? DH is very annoyed and frustrated at himself as he wants to be able to support me and wants to overcome this.
Sorry for the mammoth post, and thanks in advance!
