Fertility telephone consultation U.K.

Hi ladies,

I finally have my initial telephone consultation with a fertility clinic after being referred by my doctor they have said to make sure my partner is also available for the telephone consultation. Does anyone know it I am allowed to do this by myself for any reason he can’t get it off work or must he join or they will re/schedule? Mindful it’s only a call and don’t want him to have a whole day off! His semen sample was fine and all my tests so far are okay. Anyone’s experience with fertility consultations and appointments would be great thank you! Xxx
