How to make semen specimen collection sexy

1.  Wear a hot pink push-up bra.

2.  Tear off the protective plastic seal of the specimen cup with your teeth, while winking. Say "rowr!" as you spit the plastic out.

3.  Dirty talk.  Some examples......
     - "Ooooo, this cup is sooo hard!"
     - "Mmmmm, I like the way you aim it at this cup."
     - "Are you gonna put it in this cup?  Are you?  Oooo, that's hot!"

Today my husband had his initial testing done - a semen analysis and blood tests.  The blood tests check for stds.  Thus, these tests can be run at any time during the month, unlike my blood tests which had to be done on certain days of my cycle because they checked for hormone levels as well as stds.  These initial tests are run on every couple.  If you test positive for HIV/AIDS the clinic will not allow you to proceed with IVF. 

We hope to have the results by next week, though we won't do anything with the results until January. 

Next step is to meet with our doctor and finalize our plans.  If the semen analysis results are still poor, then I'm sure the doctor will want to do IVF which is what he mentioned before.  If the results are better than the results we got in August, we might be able to try intrauterine insemination (IUI) first - which means no injections for me - though statistics show that IUI has lower sucess rates than IVF.  Due to those statistics, our doctor has already suggested that we just skip IUI.  Part of me thinks that he may also just be interested in having more IVF statistics for his research.  He was a bit pushy about it.

Oh, what happens next?!
