Enjoying semen analysis...

We've had our first foray into the adventure that is semen analysis! It was actually really fun. The whole scene had this air of ridiculousness about it that it was hard to be too serious, plus it was the middle of the day when we were supposed to be at work so that just compounded the fun factor.

Our appointment to drop off was at 1 pm and the hospital where our fertility center is located is about 10 minutes away, so we got the ball rolling around 12:30 pm because you want the sample to be in it's cup for as little time as possible. So, we both enjoyed the "producing" process for a grand total of 15 minutes and then getting everything into the cup was just so comical that it had us both hysterically laughing.

So it's about 12:45, the sample is in it's cup, in it's plastic bio-hazzard bag, in it's paper bag, and it's labeled and all ready to go. We are frantically putting ourselves back together so we can leave the house while trying to keep the sample warm under whoevers armpit is available. We race to the hospital with me driving because I had been there before to pick up the cup and also so my husband could keep the sample warm under his armpit. We managed to find a free parking spot on the street and get the sample there on the dot of 1! It was amazing timing and we were so proud of ourselves! We drove home giggling the whole way and thankfully didn't stop to think about what the results were going to show and in that moment ignorance was bliss and we just got to have a fun afternoon together and not think about what information could be coming our way.
