Challenge anneka...with sperm

Dh did his sperm sample this morning. I then had an hour to get to the hospital (25 miles away) and find where I needed to take it.
The traffic was horrific because it was rush hour and ds wouldn't get in the car. I'm pretty sure my blood pressure has rocketed. I got lost twice and then again once I actually got to the hospital. It's huge like an airport and there are about ten car parks. Then had to race against the clock to find a car park space as it was already nearly full. Plus had to queue at the car park barrier for about five minutes.
Then couldn't find where I needed to go. Asked someone and they took me to the children's ward! Which was completely the wrong direction but at least on the same floor. I was practically hyperventilating by the time I finally managed to find the right place, was about five mins late. Hopefully will still be ok! Had to come home and recover.

On balance dh's job seemed easier!

Honestly, I would complain about this because what they have there is a poor system for male factor testing.

The hospital could have had him produce the sample in the unit there for testing. Also such tests also are more often than not repeated. One test is not conclusive in its own right.

Argh, I don't know if I can handle the pressure a second time!
It said on the letter that there were limited facilities to ahem, produce the sample there, but they couldn't guarantee availability and that they advised that preferably it should be done at home and taken in.
