Has anyone else had this test? It is where you and your partner have to have intercourse 4-6 hours before the exam and then do they something similar to a pap to see if your cervical mucus is right for the sperm...I know tmi. Anyway, I have to have this done tomorrow and it is a pain when you have to plan sex down to the minute I could only get an 11:30am appointment so we have to be done with our 'fun' by 7:30am....my husband is never up that early so it should be interesting! Just thought I'd check to see if others have had this and what were your results? I'm hoping all is well so we can start the IUI next month.

My friend had it done. She was okay. I think they had to start at 8:00 A.M.
Good luck!

Gemini - they need to test to make sure my cervical mucus isn't to acidic and killing the sperm before they can do their thing!

If anyone has to do this test it is not that bad. I just got back from the doctor! The worst part for me was that I got bit in the eyelid last night by a misquito so I woke up with my eye swollen and shut...Not a turn on for my husband!!
Anyway, I went to the doctor 4 hours after our 'fun' and they take a sample in my cervix (like a pap test). They put the sample on a slide and then review it to make sure the mucus fawns and that the sperm are still alive and swimming. They then did an ultrasound to see how my ovulation was coming along (I'm only on day 12). They said I had 3 follicles that will mature in a few days. They also let me look at the slide with them under the microscope. It was so cool...I could totally see the sperm swimming around!
My tests all came out well so they said there should be nothing left to test and we should be good to concieve. Wish me luck!!!!
