I was sitting in the reproductive
medicines office this morning waiting to be called back when in walks a couple
in their late 30’s and a gentleman.
The gentleman looks around obviously
very uncomfortable and goes up to the counter. He stated his name and that he was
there for a semen analysis. As he took a seat I could tell that he was dreading
the event that was to follow. I just felt plain bad for him. Not soon after a
nurse called him back and instructed him to pick up a little blue cup and label
on the way through the door. I know he just wanted to melt away.
This left me and the other couple in
the room. When they realized it was just the three of us the women looks over
to me and gives me a small smile. They sit there in silence not even saying anything
to one another. You could tell that they have never been here before and were
super nervous. I am sure they were dreading walking back to the Dr’s office only
to have to confess that they needed help.
I am certainly no pro and compared
to some have not spent years coming back to the same waiting room but it
certainly gets a lot easier. I can now walk in there confidently and not feel
like I am going to throw up. I counted it up and I have been there 11 times in
the last 2 months for different blood tests, procedures or appointments. The
girl at the front now knows my name and just checks me right in. I absolutely love
the lady who takes my blood. I feel like
we could be best friends even though we have only spent a total of 15 minutes
together combined.
And last but no least I leave you
with a picture of me hanging out with my feet up just waiting to be given the
go ahead to head on home. Oh the things you will do for a baby J
