Well, all my friends here may remember a few months ago my dearest hubby had to undergo some delicate surgry in his most personal parts. The big test is scheduled for tomorrow-and boy am I nervous. The Counting of the Swimmers will occur at 9am Monday. My darling husband will enter a small cubicle with some pornography and a specimen cup and will be asked to produce, well a specimen. I will not be present-we have had to abstain for a few days to build up a strong team,and I might disrupt the proceedings. It will then take a week to complete the census, we are hoping his team has a good turn out since we both really want to give my little lemur boy a sibling.
Wish us luck I will add updates as they occur, and yes I do realize that whatever the outcome I am utterly blessed to have such a great husband.
 
I dont mean for this to sound bad but it will probably come out that way. But, how can you be so lighthearted about such a serious situation? Are you just not worried or dont want to hear a bad outcome?
 
As a lifeguard let me say GO TEAM GO!!!!!!!!!!

We will be here doing the wave.......
 
Oh naked I am being lighthearted to de-stress, especially since one low sperm count does not mean permannent infertility. In fact this is only one of many tests that we both may need to endure-I have some fertility issues due to dysplasia. We decided it was better to be light about it so that it did not dominate our lives and make our lovemaking a ritual of disappointments based on the procreation aspect. I am not joking about infertility at all-we are really worried about it, and I am quite scared and I think he may be also-but we refuse to bow to the harsh side of it...Our general attitude is one of hope-sorry if I gave the impression that I was being jovial. In reality I am scared,worried and sad about all this testing.
But you know what-if we let it rule our lives we will lose a great deal of joy. Having strong healthy sperm will not define my spouse's virility to me-he is a very virile man, and I look forward to a long and healthy sexual life with him. I do not define his masculinity based on his fertility. Nor will he base my worth to him on my ovarian ability. Sorry to get snitty but since you yanked the chain here is my response. We can be as light about it as we wish-the main reason for me to post this was to touch base with some of the people I regard as friends who were really supportive during his surgery and recovery.
Infertility is a very real and serious issue-one we are preparing to have to deal with together. But life will go on despite our difficulties and I plan on still having moments of joy even if the report is bad.
Okay-I guess I am a bit more sensitive than I want to admit...I seem to be joking when crying isn't something I'll let myself do just now. I refuse to shed tears until confronted with bad news.
Thank you to all the hopeful wishes for Spitzes...especially since my hubby adores the fact I always swallow and never spitz.

Too bad..... they'd probably have to get a Gallon jug for him otherwise... as for trying to be 'Light hearted' about it.... Lighten up folks! i think the woman's doing pretty good. Remember.... it's Her life..... Not yours....






ok..... i'll shut up now....
 
Aaawww thank you mink-how sweet. I am being banned from the collection area because hubby was afraid I'd er-contaminate or devour the sample-I hate abstaining!!! It is making us both grouchy, thank Goddes we can play tomorrow night!
 
Good-luck I hope you get the news you are looking for. And swimming your way soon. Good luck on the results hope it all goes well for you guys.
 
Hello Earthgoddess, I hope everything goes great for you guys. If good thoughts help & I believe they do, all of mine are going out to you. Having gone through the same thing, I know how frustrating it can be. Take care & have a great tomorrow night.
 
Here's hoping for some super swimming little guys!

And have fun tomorrow night :)
 
Hi Earthgoddess!

I can surely relate to how you feel. I remember when my wife and I were trying to get pregnant the second time and how frustrating it can be. Funny story for you, though.

We ended up having to go to a fertility specialist. When it came time, there I was alone in that little room with all the porn mags and a cup. If there is one way to make a man REALLY feel how insignificant his role is in procreation--that was it. *laughs*

I guess that I got a little TOO into my fantasizing and masturbating that when it came time for the grand finale, I missed the cup completely and spilled all my seed onto the couch which was covered with a very thick ABSORBANT blanket.

Oh no!! :eek: I just sprayed my future children onto the couch! I tried to scoop them up, but the blanket was just too darn absorbant! I felt like such a failure. *L*

In any case, I went to lunch and came back to do it right, and we ended up with a beautiful set of twin girls.

Best of luck to you and your husband, Earthgoddess!

Thank you all-and thank you especially for the warning Man-I will tell him to focus on the cup-God forbid the swim team ends up on the couch!!!
And Mr. Mink you are too delightful-thank you!
Thank you all for your support-this is too hard to talk to our families about in detail and too touchy for him to talk over with his friends-I guess guys don't sit around discussing their sperm counts?
At any rate I will keep you all posted.
My husband desparately wants a little girl-so maybe he should follow your advice Man-perhaps he should try for a chair as a sofa seems to bring twins and I would be happy with just one!
 
May the goddess bless him balls so full of sperm they drag the ground and no wet dreams!
 
Earthgoddess I have loved your descriptions of proceeding so far... long may they continue! (Well you know what I mean)

May your swimmers all beat Ian Thorpe and be as numerous as the chinese.

Oh my this thread is certainly brightening my day-hubby is at doctor's as I type...And to think we've been stressed out for days due to the test and we still have up to a week to wait for the results. Thanks guys you sure know how to cheer a goddess up-am off to the gym soon to swim some laps-hehehe never looked forward to a work out more! And then tonight we'll be in the indoor pool(I hope!!!)
 
I sure hope everything works out for ya...Good Luck...and keep smiling..
 
Well folks Hubby returned home triumphant and successful in his quest. We call back in a week and find out where we stand-great timimg since I have a consultation with my midwife on Samhain-we should have a pretty good idea how things are going to proceed by then-thanks again to all who sent well wishes and enabled me to let off some steam!
Time to go my son has shut himself into the linen closet and is pretending to be a snake-I must go and act as prey-I love these homeschooling science lessons-I think he is a boa, hmmm I guess that makes me a rodent-or maybe a rabbit.
 
Earthgoddess I'll be crossing my fingers for you!!! Good luck with your quest!!
 
Okay folks we are on pins and needles here waitng for the results we find out Monday-and we are somewhat tense about it-please keep us in your thoughts. Thanks....
 
An old Irish blessing

May your sperm be as plentiful as potatos
May your eggs be wanton
And may you get knocked up soon
 
Thank you all-we called twice for results yesterday and were told that the doctor would read the results and call us. Well it has now been twenty-four hours and still no call-good sign, bad sign, poor interoffice communications or an alien plot????
Sorry it is Halloween I am due to have a house full of pre schoolers in a few hours and I have a midwife appointment right before the party-a Samhain pap smear-how fun!
Cheri the cookies are fabulous-especially when shaped like ghosts,bats and of course punpkins-thank you so much.
I will update after the doctor deigns to return our calls.
Happy Halloween to all, and a Blessed Samhain to a select few:)
