Yeah, seriously! lol Thanks for being so transparent ladies!

Actually, I'm thinking we're having a problem in that area... *most* of the time, it's just not that messy for us...
Dh has attributed it to the fact that he's got a lot on his mind, he's stressed, etc. but now I'm wondering if there's more to it than that...

Good thing we're going to see the specialist next Tues!

This might be the funniest thread I've read in a while. LOVE it!!! Hilarious and TRUE!

And since we're just puttin' it all out there I'll share this... when we're trying we bd every other day all month (I usually know when I'm ovulating but this is mostly to make hubs happy... perks of the job) and then I lay there with legs up and have an "O". I guess I always think that the contracting from that will suck those little guys up there... or something.
Anyway, it's worked three times! Might totally be a fluke for us... but I think we'll keep that method for the next time 'round!

Ok now I'm laughing too! I guess I have to answer too, yes very messy for us but not a big change with frequency either. I just assumed it was always messy. Who knew!

So... Now we're not going to the specialist on Tues...
Dh just isn't ready yet to do his part in 'public', and Ive got an important staff meeting I shouldn't miss... Next month I guess!

Trip, I sure hope you guys get to go to the specialist soon. ::hugs::

I'm in the "always messy, easily pregnant" group too. I have been LOLing at all your posts!

It's not messy here either though (I run to the bathroom right away 'cause I don't like the feeling of ANY!!! of it inside of me) but it has never spilled out like that and we don't need any towels... and we seem to get pregnant "just thinking about it" LOL! I mean.... we just say... "What about another baby?" and I am pretty sure I've conceived RIGHT AWAY... I've never done charts or anything, I am not very consistent with "every other day" when we decide to have another one... and we just... get pregnant! so.... I am not so sure the "mess" is really necessary...

Just my experience...

So just FYI, sperm and semen separate while in the vagina, so usually when you get the run-outs it's the semen and the sperm have stayed up in there. I am sure some sperm run out, but they usually separate quickly.

Also, my dh didn't have to give a sample in public. They have special condoms you can use to "catch" his semen and then you can bring it into the office. He can also have manual stimulation and catch in a sample container. That is what we did, and I kept the container in my armpit to keep it warm for the 30 min drive to the clinic. Even after that his sample came back high so we know that his little guys didn't die off during the drive. So there is options.

Have you ever thought of using a condom during non-fertile times to see if he even has ejaculate? Maybe that could be a start for you?

I hope you can get some answers soon sweet sister!

blessings,
Amber

Thanks for that info - I had no idea sperm and semen separated like that!
I'll discuss the rest with dh.
