So I did the test/ What an experience! It wasn’t as bad as I thought. As it turns out, I didn’t have to go into a room with adult magazines and take care of business. I was able to take care of business at home. That is where the bad news comes into play. After getting the “SAMPLE”, I had to keep it at body temperature. This meant making the 10 minute drive with a sterile cup of sperm in my pocket.

Once I got to the lab, I had to fill out some very basic paperwork mainly dealing with my insurance. The people were very nice, and apparently I was the only one that felt awkward passing a cup of man juice across the counter. This all happened on Friday. The lady that took the sample said the results would be ready around the first of next week.

That might seem like a short period of time, but when being infertile is one of the possible answers, it feels like forever. As of the time writing the post (11/21), we still haven’t got the results. I’ve contacted the lab every other day and get the same answer. “We’re experiencing an extremely long wait due to heavy demand.” At this point, I’m thinking about going to a place that specializes in fertility testing in Greensboro. If I don’t get the results in the next few days, that’s exactly what I’m doing. As you can tell, I’m extremely irritated by this. My nerves were already on edge waiting for the results, and the stupidly long wait is making it worse.

So I’ll tell you what, no matter what happens, I’ll write another post dealing with either the results, or my experience with the fertility center in Greensboro. Till then…

Clicky clicky for my wifey!!
