I have to admit after all i have had to have done, smears, scans, sti checks, blood tests, and HSG all in the last month, i never thought i would be saying i felt sorry for my hubby when he had to do his sperm sample.
Thing is he never grumbled, he just got on with it, i was glad i didnt have a hubby who either had to be forced into it or simply refused. I was lucky that he went to do it without a gripe. So now i feel i have to make comment about his experience, as i am a little amazed at how little consideration the fertility clinic i use took over my husbands investigations when they take such care over mine.
I also wondered if anyones elses hubbies have mentioned anything about their experiences that match this?
Firstly, my husband said the room he had to use to give his sample was just off a fairly heavily used corridor, so he could hear everyone going passed which doesnt help a mans concentration.
Secondly, the room was fairly grubby, i mean you wouldnt expect top of the range accomodation but i would have tought the room would have been fairly comfortable, would not have wholes in chairs and bedding and worn carpet on the floor. I mean surely for its purpose i would have thought the floor should have been tiled and certainly not carpet?
Thirdly, the magazines where "heavily pawed" and most were years and years old. He didnt expect a plasma tv on the wall but a magazine from this century would have been nice.
Anyway, my fella got on with it without problem but i wonder how he did considering hte circumstances and i feel now for all the men who have to go perform in such grubby conditions. We all have a whine about what we have to go through and i never gave a thought about what my hubby would have to do. It may not be painful but i bet it was difficult and slightly embarrasing.
Anyone else heard anything like this.....

It was a little room just before you opened the door to the maternity ward (which was of course locked in case crazy people like me tried to steal a newborn!)
