Sperm Analysis Disaster

Megan • We started our baby journey back in 2016. We spent 2 years trying to no avail- broken heart after broken heart lead us to fertility, where we were quickly told that our chances of conceiving naturally were under 2% due to male-factor infertility. But tha
So, my husband is dealing with some male fertility issues and it finally has gotten to the point of the dreaded SA. I can only imagine how embarrassing this is, and I'm lucky he is not easily shaken or we would not be making any progress on this path. Not only did his urologist send him to the wrong place to ask for a sample cup...awkward...he then showed up and waited hours only to be told they had never received a lab request from said doc. My husband leaves, as he is now late for work, goes back the next day and AGAIN they are confused on what he's there for and try to take blood. He awkwardly stops them and says he's there to give them a SA, not blood. At this point, they direct him upstairs and down a long hall where they say there is a "semi-private" restroom, with just his cup mind you...no paper bag or anything. So when he returns down a crowded elevator, he is left with his exposed sample embarrassingly half-hidden in his hands. I am appalled at this disrespectful treatment of a patient at multiple facilities! This is such a sensitive, painful issue in itself. Honestly sickened by this. I am lucky to have a man by my side who is willing to go through such insensitive nonsense to give us a child.
