The man's job. *caution: probably TMI*

Ok, so I'm really curious about how everyone handles this!  We are hopefully preparing for an IVF in Feb. and I am petrified that my husband will not be able to perform on the day of the retreival.  He often has performance anxiety and always has produced at home for SA's and our previous IUI's.  The IVF will be done at a new clinic about an hour away and clearly producing at home is not an option.  Do all clinics allow freezing ahead of time for those situations?  Any words of advice on how NOT to be a control freak about this?!  

    Me (36) DH (38)- me-unexplained IF/hypothyroid -DH-counts good, but volume is low; Married in 2006, off birth control pill. Started officially trying in March of 2009.
    2 rounds clomid/ovidrel 2009, 1 round femara/iui, 2010, 2 rounds follistim/iui 2010. Weight loss surgery 2011.  Back to new RE 2012: HSG normal, AMH 0.43= DOR; IVF with microdose flare protocol in February 2013.
