Sperm Scrub
Dad was admitted to one of the local nursing homes today � not the one we were hoping for, but this one does have a good reputation. He�s still acting loopy at night time � he is convinced that the mirrors and pictures slide back at night and the people watch him. I hate the fact that he really believes this � can you imagine thinking that people are watching you all the time?
One of our members called us today and asked if we paid for �sperm washing�. WHAT THE FUCK?????? Who knew they got dirty?? Actually I googled it:
What is Sperm Washing?
Sperm washing is a procedure used to prepare sperm for use in IUI. It allows your partner�s sperm a better chance for survival and fertilization. Sperm washing separates sperm cells from a man�s semen, helping to get rid of dead or slow-moving sperm as well as additional chemicals that may impair fertilization. Once sperm has been washed at your fertility clinic�s laboratory, it can be used during IUI to help achieve pregnancy. There are a variety of different sperm washing procedures.
�and no, our insurance company does not pay for it.
