Honestly...I felt so bad for him!  It was like we have to do this stupid thing that most people dont have to go through just to have a baby. I felt bad for him, because I know he was embarassed!

I'll let you know when DH does his in about a week or so or whenever we get around to it!
Actually I'm mostly nervous about getting the sample to the hospital on time b/c we live about 30 minutes from the hospital. They said we need to have it there within an hour, but the sooner the better. I'm picturing myself getting pulled over trying to rush the sample in and trying to explain to the police officer that I really HAVE to go....

It was just one of those things we had to do to get some answers. I think he was nervous our infertility was his fault. I actually went with DH.

I felt bad for DH with the first one, too. We got to do that one at home and then speed to the hospital to get it to the lab while I was keeping it "warm". The billions of other s/a's he's had done with our RE had to be done at the office- where he had a private room with a tv, dvds, and magazines.  It's hard to feel bad about that.

That was us. DH ended up using a bathroom stall at the hospital (which is about halfway between here and the lab).

I'm glad your DH did well Lynda! LOL....
I think I my DH was slightly embarassed about doing his SA. He got to do it at home and when he did it, he locked me out of the room and I waited in the car with the engine running. He ran out the door and told me to floor it. LMAO... It felt like some weird "deposit and run" crime and I was the getaway driver.
