We’ve done screening health test as part preparation to start family. The test called Pre Marital Screening. I found it amusing as we’ve been married 3 years. There’s a rule about it that we have fasting for food and drink intake 8 hours prior the test and no sex intercourse for 3 days. The later was not clear enough, then we realized it (with a big grin of course!) we got to comeback another two days for seminal analysis.
The hospital was bit like production line of human being on laboratory. Registration, been called, enter the room and wait. For about 3 hours constantly. Measure all physical signs : height, weight, blood pressure, fat, BMI etc. Being taken of nearly full tube of blood was unpleasant, as I don’t like syringe. Indeed it was painless which I felt grateful about. Pap smear always scary for me. I had experience one which have to retaken. I never comfortable to show of my V to other people (including nurses and docs). Anyway I have to get used it, for the sake of firstkid.
Ultrasound pelvis even more complicated. It’s required full bladder, means I have to drink lots of plain water. The first trial failed because there was no sufficient water. I have to wait another 15 minutes (on cold Air Conditioning -damn that’s must be another aim put on low temperature there). Go to frontdesk telling I can not stand it anymore. Jump around little bit, then dashed to toilet with small bottle to gather urine.
M was silent when I asked about seminal test. I volunteered to come with him. He was only been given the bottle but nothing else. No porn magazine, or dirty film. Not even allow me to go with him since it has to be done in public toilets. It took 20-25 minutes to fulfill his duty. Done and out.
He kept it on his own experience.
