The Infertility Spa

Going to a fertility appointment is sort of like going to a couple’s spa retreat.

Similar to a spa, the couple enters a waiting area filled with excited looking women and awkward looking men. The women can’t wait for their treatment while the men seem uncomfortable with their upcoming procedure. The couple is called into their appointment and the woman quickly changes into an exquisite soft gown. She is instructed to lay down but instead of getting a message, a suggestive looking ultrasound wand is inserted into her. The man leaves to “enjoy” his experience which includes escorting him to a private room proceeded by a luxurious sperm wash. The woman is also treated to an internal massage, followed by a cleansing blood test and finally she is able to relieve her bladder on an elegant urination device (aka ‘the pee stick’). How enjoyable and relaxing!

The smell of hot brewed tea fills the air and soft music plays in the background during the procedure. The woman sips on a glass of cold refreshing water. How simply wonderful! How delightful!

Later, she lays in the dark room on a firm surface, breathing heavily and moving slightly to find a more comfortable position. She watches a fantastic television program about the insides of her uterus and cervix. The husband has finished his treatment and now relaxes in the waiting area with a variety of family-friendly magazines. She spends the next several hours enjoying the treatment only to be delighted to discover that she has another appointment booked the following day at 7 a.m.
