Well, say some extra prayers for us that this worked! It was a long process – just by the time we got down there, Jason did his thing, they “washed” it, and then put it in me. Overall we were there 2 ½ hours or so. The procedure itself wasn’t too bad – a little bit of cramping, but I wouldn’t say that it hurt. I’m not sure what Jason’s count was, but they told me that it was a really good sample. Oh, and he did fine! Funny story though – the office we did this at didn’t have any lubricant for him to use, so we arranged it yesterday that I could pick some up from where he did the SA, this morning on my way down. So I take an extra hour to do that, and then when we met down at the hospital I put the little cup in his pocket and said, “here’s the stuff.” He was reading something and gave me a nod of the head sort of answer. Well, he goes in to do his thing and when he came out he told me that they didn’t have any lubricant for him. Duh, it was in your pocket. He somehow missed that – teaches him not to pay attention to me! So apparently as much as he freaked out about the idea of no lubricant, he does just fine without. Oh, and another great Jason story. They told us that they didn’t have much in the way of visual aids, so he took it upon himself to download some visual aids (movies maybe? I didn’t get specific.) to his PSP. So he went in there with his little PSP and headphones. Classic.

So anyways, after they washed it I went into the room and they inserted the speculum, and then the catheter and then used a syringe attached to it, to deposit his swimmers. And then I got to lay there for 15 minutes afterwards and it was all done.

It was a lovely romantic Valentine’s Day date – haha! Whatever, if it works I don’t care. :)
