Why is it that all we do is wait, wait, wait? It's like I'm living my life in incriments of hours, days, and weeks. It can be so discouraging, knowing that so much is beyond our control and out of our hands. I'm currently waiting to get the call about DH's s/a. We were told yesterday that they would have the results to our doctor's office some time yesterday afternoon. My RE's nurse called at minutes til 5 to say that they had not received the results, but that she would "try" to call as soon as she got them. So. I. Wait.
The whole experience of giving the sample went fine. DH and I met over at the medical center and went up to the suite that housed the lab and the doctor's practice that would do our testing for us. We had to find a place that would not only do the s/a, but also the antisperm antibody test as well. We filled out a single sheet of information and were escorted into a room where DH could "do his deed". He informed me many times how humiliating it was for him to do such a thing and it took all but biting my tongue off not to say, "How about last week when me, you, and two strangers hung out in a dark room where one of the strangers put a wand up my t%^t and we all took a peek at my inside lady parts. Do you think THAT wasn't embarrassing for me?" I had to keep telling myself that men are just full grown babies sometimes and even if I don't ever get pregnant and get my baby, I'll always have him. :)
I'm really hoping to get some news today. It would be super helpful to my sanity if I didn't have to run for the phone every time the dryer buzzed. :/
Not copying off of my dear friend's blog (but kind of), since I quoted a song in my post title, I shall present the song in it's entirety here:
As soon as I hear something form my RE, I will pass on the news to you all.

Waiting is the worst! I hope they call soon and have good answers for you!
ReplyDeleteWhen we first went to the RE, he explained to dh how to acheive the best sample. It was so embarassing for him. The Re told him the last part of the ejaculant is the best and to milk it. He repeated it several times lol. Dh was so red. They are like children,we are the ones that have to do all the work. They have an easy job. Thinking anf praying for you today!!
Ugh, I feel your pain with the waiting!!! I will be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my DH acts like it's such a big deal to do his sample, but I have remind him how much worse it is for women!!
Good luck!
