No More Awkward Moments Please....

This post isn't G rated so if you are easily offended then please don't read on. It's not graphic by all means but maybe not something everyone would like to read about. To much info for some....

So at the beginning of the week my hubby and I decided that now would be the best time to get him tested and make sure everything was ok on his end. He was nervous. This is one of those things you don't look forward to...kind of like going to the dentist. Anyhow, the week dragged on and then it was finally Thursday. We walked into the office and I didn't get a good vibe from the beginning. The girl's weren't friendly and the one receptionist didn't even know what she was doing. We signed in and sat down. Another guy walked in a few minutes after us and signed in. The receptionist immediately gave him papers to fill out and apparently he didn't do it right because when he handed them to the receptionist she said, "You didn't even do this right. Do you need me to high lite exactly what I want? It's all backwards. You need to do it right next time otherwise we can't see you today." Really? That calmed me for sure {NOT}.

So we sat longer...finally they asked us to come up and gave me a bunch of paperwork to fill out. I spent an hour online last night filling out your forms so you could have them ready today. I made the receptionist aware of that and she said, "Oh yes, they are right here." Bad impression #2. She then asked for my insurance card and made me aware that they don't accept our insurance. Bad impression #3. I already knew that. See the notes on the forms I filled out last night online. By this time I was kind of irritated. This place is a Reproductive Care Center. Shouldn't these people be on top of their stuff and make you feel welcome the minute you walk through the door? This isn't the easiest thing in the world to go through.....

Needless to say it was our turn. The guy {I don't even know what to call him/nurse maybe?}. Who knows? Anyway he was amazing. Super personable and laughed with us and joked around. He was awesome. Then he opens the door to our "room" where we get to go about our business. Half BATHROOM with a couch that was ripped in several places. Is that even sanitary?? We were already nervous, already felt super awkward and this is where they bring us? Oh my gosh. I didn't even know what to think. I guess I wasn't really expecting the Hilton but talk about an awkward situation. The bathroom was over the top.

We did what we had to do and left. It wasn't romantic at all, it wasn't exciting. It was awkward and I hate awkward moments. Now just crossing our fingers that Jake has a clean bill of health so that when we do start the process of having babies, that will be one less thing to worry about. As for the doctor's office we went to, I'm not sure I will be going back for any infertility consultations. I know I need to make an appointment but I'm not sure that is the place for us. I hear there is a great doctor there but I'm not a fan of the office staff as of now and they are the first people I see when I walk in so....who knows what we will do now? I hear the University of Utah has awesome infertility doctors. Maybe I will try them.
