GRRRH so the nurse called back with the semen analysis results which I guess I didn't have something signed so they gave the info to Kelly. GRRH. He is always so annoying and useless with this stuff. I handed him a paper and a pencil so he could write it all down. Did he? no. All I kept hearing was okay, okay, okay, okay. Finally followed by a so I don't have to do anything differently. Okay bye.

So then he proceeds to go talk to his friend who is having lunch with him. I am like can you stop and tell me what she said. Well sperm count was a little low but she said that was okay, the motility was a little low but she said that was okay, and shape was a little abnormal too I think. So I am like did she say you would need to do ICSI? And he says she mentioned something about that. But he doesn't know what she said.

Why do they have to talk to the men at all? I knew that I was going to be stuck getting next to no information because he is so useless. He probably isn't going to feel like driving back out there to sign whatever needs to be signed so that she can talk to me about this. So how the heck am I supposed to make decisions.

I am so irritated right now.

P.S. Sorry I am being so needy today. I am just having a really crappy day.

Why are men so useless sometimes!? And do you notice its on the most important things. I am really sorry, Patty. That would beyond irk me too!!! I would have him call them back when you are in the room and put them on speaker phone?

Or you could ask them what needs to be done so you can get the results. Maybe they could mail you whatever needs to be signed by him, or maybe you could pick the form up. Or else I would make DH call them back and either have him write down all the details on paper, or have him tell them to mail the results with an explanation of what they means. Good luck!

You might have him call and give her verbal permission to tell you and see if that works. We had the same situation and Matt just asked them to tell me because he didn't know what it meant anyway. They let us do that.

I hope you get things figured out.

Most offices will need written permission due to HIPAA regulations, but I like the speaker phone idea, and having them mail it to you, if they will (my doctor's offices needed written consent for that too). I'm sorry though, Patty- I totally can understand where you're coming from- DH would do the exact same thing, I'm sure!!! And sorry you're having a bad day- I hope it gets better really soon!

I would be really frustrated by that too. I would call them back and have them talk to him again with you both on the line. Grrrrr, men!

I don't think I would be able to get him to call them back. He is pretty shy with these things. I think I am just going to wait till my next appt and see if they will be able to answer my questions about doing ICSI without telling me his results.
