DH missed the sample cup! Anyone else have funny stories!

MY DH MISSED THE CUP WHILE GIVING HIS SAMPLE!!!! He did provide some sperm, and they were highly motile and good quality, but it was only like 1.9 million when it should be 10 million!!! The nurse busted him after seeing the report--he did not even tell me he missed!The nurse must have seen this before, b/c she was like "Well, the doctor and I looked at your sample report, and uh...do you think you might have missed the cup?" (All this while I am laying there "in the position") and he goes "Uh. . .Yeah!" I looked at him and said "What??!!??" and he goes, "You're stressed enough, like I am really gonna tell you! It was just a tiny drop!" That's when I started laughing, and held up the proceedings for a few minutes.

I know, it is pretty hilarious, but I was NOT happy at the time! I can't get mad at my dh though, he tried, poor thing! So, it is very imperative we back up with bd--he better not "MISS" doing that!!!!!!! AAAARGH!
I am actually laughing my butt off that this happenned. It is so something that would happen in my weird life! I don't think this story will make it into the baby book if we conceive this month!!

I hope some of you can share some stories about TTC that will make us smile, laugh, or just know that sometimes you have to see the humor in a situation in order to move on.

so this is the first month i'm on clomid.  my DH just found out that he has to leave town for work the week i'm suppose to O.  i was so mad b/c i am taking the clomid for nothing if he won't even be here now to BD and i was really hoping this would work!  anyways, he'll be about 6 hours away with work so he told me to just come drive down to see him for a "booty call"!  i started laughing saying...oh that would be just so great with a 2 yr. old in the hotel room!  men really don't think!  we just moved to this area and we know nobody and family is nowhere near sooooo...id' have to bring him.  then he tells me...we could just lock him in the bathroom!  anyone that has a 2 yr old KNOWS that the bathroom is the place they can get into the MOST trouble!  haha.  plus who would do that?!  MEN!  they really dont' think before they talk!  :)

I love that this thread keeps going! I had an especially BAD day when i received the news of my BFN today after our first try at IUI :(

But i smiled when i read and re-read your/our stories. DH (the same man who used the word "beaver") was very sure this was our month. This morning before the blood test he said, "You don't look pregnant, but you sure do sound pregnant"...HUH???? Another awesome moment when I looked at him and thought "Did i really marry this guy?"!! He tries...

Good luck to all of you! Excited for our next cycle.

butterflies--I was wearing my dhs black socks under my boots the other day when I had an u/s, and I actually made a comment about it to the doctor b/c I was so embarrased!

Lisa--Those stories are too cute!!! Hey, funny is funny--it's nice not to focus on TTC ALL the time! Plus, it is about kids, so it is still relevant.

Thanks to you both for keeping this post going. Laughter really helps pass the time :-)

Butterflies, very funny.  (-:

Well, my stories aren't about dh, and not necessarily about ttc. But, they do cover the general area of the topic and I thought you might get a laugh from them.  

In my classroom with 1st graders we were studying homonyms.  I read them a great picture book of homonyms called The King Who Rained.  Students were then asked to generate a funny homonyn story of their own.  One of my students raised her hand and said, "I know one!  Don't grab my nuts!"

Then today, the same student - was asking about a story I had just read.  She thought it was a sequel to another story and she said, "Is that virgin #1, or virgin #2?"

I hope you don't mind me sharing these that aren't ttc necessarily.   Hopefully they at least gave you a laugh and/or a smile.

my Re appointments are usually on my days off when I was going in for my U/S and Im usually in jeans and gym shoes ,white socks...well my last appointment was on a day I had to work and so I had to be dressed up...I was going in for an U/S and as I was talking to the doc and then he said to me (as he was sitting between my legs) to go ahead and put my legs in the stirups as I did he looked at my socks (which were black dress socks) and said to me whats the occasion? I started to laugh and the nurse says to the doc well you cant wear white socks with dress clothes doc...ugh it totally made the appointment much more relaxed...LOL
