  Hmmm all the non-skid socks I have ever gotten were from the hospital! Try Amazon maybe? When I am stuck that's where I always look.

  TTC since June 2011
  DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
  Me (32): all clear
  Appt with Urologist 5/21/12: exam, ultrasound, bloodwork all normal.
  Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test
  Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.
  2nd SA 6/18/12: sample is "adequate for ICSI"
  Plan: IVF/ICSI July 2012!
  ER: 7/26/12. 15 eggs retrieved, all mature.
  TESE/TESA/aspiration from epididymis, no motile sperm found
  froze all eggs, the saga of praying for good sperm continues.
  8/3/12: 2nd opinion from MFI uro on biopsy slides. Suspects "partial late maturation arrest."
  Plan: more SAs, third biopsy/TESE with frozen back-up either from DH or DS.
  SA 8/17/12: Zero sperm
  SA 8/23/12: Zero sperm
  9/26/12: SPERM FOUND! 15 eggs thawed, 12 survived and were ICSI'd, only 3 fertilized normally. Refrozen as embies and will thaw in Nov. Please survive and grow!

  My hospital gave me socks. They wanted me to use their socks and I could not wear mine until I left. Best of luck

  You can probably find them at stores like target or old navy. I wear them at home all winter- they are so comfy! Maybe it's hard to find them now though because it is summer.
