I'm Currently Feeling:  | Question for those who's OH has had to do his 'bit' in a cup
Did he insist on your help in doing the deed????
DH is point blank refusing. Not nastily, he just reckons he won't be able to do it! So he wants me to!!!
The sample has to be at the hospital 20 minutes drive away within an hour of depositing. And it has to be between 9am and 12 noon. So he said he'll have to book a day off work so I can do it for him!!!!!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  |  Its ok..
Mine tried 3 times even used video and he couldnt do it.. Lets face it thats a compliment to u.. That means ur the only one that can get him.. I happily did it and we rushed the sample to them laughing the whole way... Some situations are just meant to be humored and atleast now i kno i am not only his love.. But also his dream girl. It will all be ok | | | | Status: Offline

| Well we joked about me helping but when he got called into the room, we got the impression I wasn't really allowed in so I just left him too it...But he's one of those that just DON'T get embarrassed or phase easily and came strutting out proudly at how much he filled the pot.......I was embarrased on his behalf!
(He did admit though that it took forever) |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I sent mine in the toilet and let him do it himself ... he only managed a tiny bit though not like the neverending stream they come out with sometimes haha
Ran back up to the unit and ropped it in at the desk, the guy asked what time it was produced and i wask like "oh about 2 minutes ago" haha |

| My DH had to do it today. He really didn't want my help at all though. He found it really difficult to do and couldn't produce much at all. Infact we are a bit worried if there is enough to test. |

| Men need a lot of support with this. This is a big deal to them. If my DH wants me to go, I will. My fertility book says it is a toughie for guys. |
