Helping DH

All of you ladies that do IUI/IVF or any other type of treatment do you help DH with his donation? Just wondering. My DH said it would be so much worse if I wasn't there.

Oh, I forgot to mention that for one of our IUIs, we were scheduled to come in at 7am on Sat. morning, so my poor husband had to create his sample at around 5 am! I know he was not in the mood for that kind of stuff, but he didn't disappoint me :) Now that I think of it, he never really had any trouble creating his samples lol :)

We always created the sample at home and drove it to the clinic on the day of IUI/IVF. I left my husband with it alone (literally, I left the room lol). I know he preferred it that way too, and honestly, it would make me feel a little uncomfortable knowing what he was doing, and he claimed he was more "efficient" on his own lol ;)

MammaG8tes, it's hilarious that people would steal that stuff! :)

LOL we told them the same thing. They have some of the most horrible pornography in the rooms. The lady remarked that people actually steal the materials sometimes. I guess you must be pretty hard up if you're stealing pornography from an RE office. There aren't even any magazines just gross movies. My husband told me I'm not touching that stuff with a 10 foot pole. He's much happier if I'm in the room with him.

Our clinic has a special room too. We live too far away from our RE for him to do it at home and then transport it. So we go to the RE office. I always go with him for morale support ;o) I figure if he's happy then his guys will be happy so...

My office has a SPECIAL ROOM for the men.  When doing IVF, we are on table getting ready for retrival. Hubby has to do alone.  When I do IUI I bring it from home.

He doesn't do it at home because we live too far from the clinic so he goes it alone. I would help if we were at home! Though I have thought about sending him some pics on the phone! They have magazines there, but he is totally disgusted by the thought of other people "using" them
