I'm in the REs waiting room. I am here with one other person, a guy. By himself. Which usually means he's here to provide a sample for sperm analysis, since otherwise they just drop it off and leave. He probably knows that I know this.
And there is the most sexual music on the radio. Like it's a techno song where this woman is like, heavy breathing into the Mic. I think it may be that French kiss song.

My husband gets so uncomfortable at the RE with me there I cannot imagine how bad it would be if I wasn't there. I feel bad for that guy but I still think you should wink at him.
YES, that was always SOOOO awkward. Since it was a satellite office all they did was monitoring and testing so you KNEW what the guy was there for. made the waiting room really awkward.
I always thought it was somewhat funny at the RE. Ours had one male nurse, and his job was always to call the guys back for collection. They did most of the collection and treatments in the morning, so it was always pretty busy, and we all knew what was going on. My husband thought the nurse's job was more difficult, since he had to give the directions. "Into the cup, don't touch the cup with your penis. Wipe it down, put it here. Verify this is your name on the cup. There are magazines and videos if that will help!" Lol.
I felt sorry for my husband, but I'm the one who had the dildo cam on a weekly basis.

There is so much of the process that can feel dehumanizing. I feel bad for the dudes in the waiting room.
Ad an aside, there was a note in our RE's office in the sample donation room that read : "Due to the high rate of theft, videos must be checked out at the nurses desk."
Lol. I seriously begged my H to take a picture of it every month, but he always refused.

This thread is making ME feel really, really, really uncomfortable.
I don't think it would be ok to joke "I'm in the waiting room at my RE and there's another woman here. I bet she's going to get the dildo cam stuck up her vagina with 4 other people in the room and then have donor sperm injected. I wonder if this music makes her more comfortable."
I got a fivesome with embryos on a screen being transferred into my uterus. I am the first one to joke and to talk/be open about my own situation but idk, it would have been one thing had you simply been making fun of the music and said "oh my, does this music make it easier for people leaving samples/having procedures?"
Maybe I'm more sensitive today idk. I just feel ick about this one...

I am sorry. I was going along with a "I hope everyone can see the humor, even in this awkward situation" vibe. I didn't mean to be insensitive, and I do apologize.

I'm sitting with you on this one. The vibe of the OP was off- shows a real lack of empathy.

I can't even imagine how hard it must be for him (or anyone there really).

Yeah, I guess I always felt like the looks exchanged in the RE's waiting room were more sympathy and less "hee hee I'm posting about this in my online community."
Again. I wasn't laughing at him. We never even made eye contact. I was laughing at the terrible choice of music my RE's office chose to play. I'd have been laughing at the OB's office if it was just me and a bunch of women and they were playing Salt and Pepa's Push It.
And exactly. Its a shit situation. So I was finding the humor where I could. Not at his expense. At my RE's.
