next week I being the husband get to go to a andrology lab and do a semen analysis. im sorta getting nervous and don't know what to expect. my wife has been on clomid for three months now and she is ovulating just fine but no baby yet...so now its my turn to see whats up. i don't mind to do it at all, no biggie to me. i have to drive out of town to do it so i have to collect the stuff there. doesn anyone know what or how this happens? do they just put you in a cold dr's office room and tell you to use your imagination??? or??? books? or movies/?? im just freaking out over the hole thing i guess. or is it that big of deal? any help folks or insight as to what to expect??? hope all go's well.

my dh had about 3 tests cause the first 2 were not measurable. He did his at home and was able to drive it to the doctor's ofice. It has to be rec'd within 30 minutes. The fertility office we went to (drop it off etc) had rooms with video and magazines. It was really private. I know it is a pain but hang in there and no worries if the first test is not what you hoped for. My dh was told IVF was our only option to only get

2 1/2 months later thanks to me on Femera (like Clomid) and dh taking a feritility blend and drinking LOTS of water we were

. It usually is 90 days on it to see an improvment

unless its a fertility clinic you may want to bring your own magazine.....my husband is a pro now----he has done about 10 of these......the only thing he hated was that he could here people outside the door...
