Gold Medal

IUI #2 is done. The procedure itself was quick and painless, it is really no more than a pap smear, getting there was another story. I really think we should petition to have IUIs included in the Summer Olympics. The could be several events.....

1. Drop everything: This event would be timed from the late afternoon phone call informing you that based on your bloodwork you need to be seen tomorrow for IUI at a predetermined time. Points awarded for how quickly you can rearrange your work and home schedule to make this happen.

2. Dump and run (men only): This would involve the men producing a sample and getting it a predetermined spot, either the RE office or to their wife for pick up. Bonus points for depositing samples in inconvenient situations. Say, for example, the bathroom stall at your office.

3. Hand off: This is the passing of the specimen from husband to wife on her way to the Drs. office. Points for speed and packaging of the goods during the hand off.

3. Heat is on: This event requires that the specimen provided stays at body temperature until it arrives at the office for SA and IUI. Bonus points for creativity in keeping the specimen at the right degree.

4. Race to the finish. The equivalent of the 100 yd dash in track & field, the final event challenges you to arrive safely at the RE office one hour production of the sample. You lose points for any encountered traffic jams or construction zones.

I really think it could be a fan favorite. And Lord knows, I am already in training for the Gold!
