I love this thread! It's so recognisable... Thanks guys for making me laugh...

Have had plenty of similar experiences. I'm so over showing my girly bits now, that I suggested last time to my partner that I'd tell the dr, nurse, and embryologist, look you have seen my bits now, now it's your turn to show your bits... (not that I really wanted to see them, just wanted to make it fair...)

My DP has had to go through a few as well, he thought it was hilarious that the first time he had to do a semen test, there were 2 old ladies at the counter. He likes to do his part at the clinic so the sample is nice and fresh. The ladies apologised and said we only have a toilet to do it in and showed him right through their lunch/restaurant area to the loo. He then did his bit and came back after a while, walking with sample through the lunch area and the ladies asked if he'd been successful, then were relieved when he said yes, as they weren't quite sure if they would have been able to help him . He had the giggles by then.

Free cooler bags, yeah right.. What about that lump sum that you're supposed to pay at start or end of treatment?! I have been handing the bags back, have enough stuff at home, am keeping the cool elements though, they always come in handy
