Oh poor DH!!! How stressed he must be, and ewww I can totally imagine thinking about all the men before hime, blech.
My dh does his sample at home in the comfort of the bed, with my help. Then I whisk away to the DR for the iui, if you have to do i
Re: DH so nervous about "performing" for IUI!
Is he doing it at home or at Dr? DH does his at home and i usually help, to keep it less clinical. If he is in dr can you go with?
