Ok, I hope this isn't too much TMI, but I just went to my Dr's office to get the cup for DH to do his business in.. it says no lubricant's or condoms... Does that mean that I can't "HELP HIM" meaning giving him a BJ?? I am confused

Sorry if it's TMI, but I am needing to know!!

Thanks In Advance,

Chelle

Hi, I just had my DH do his this morning. My instructions said no lubricants, including saliva. I've read before that saliva can kill sperm, so it should not be present. So, I think, no BJ for poor DH. But you could help him with a hand job (dry).

Nope- no help at all I'm afraid. The test won't be accurate unless it's produced totally without all lubricants- including saliva. Here's a link on s/a do's and don'ts: http://www.caresmed.com/patientsonly/semen_collection.html

GL to him! ;o)
