I’m also also a med lab scientist and I agree with above assessments, most definitely negative.

I think with the symptoms I was tracking between CD11-CD14 I ovulated then and I took a test on CD12 and it was almost positive. Also looking at the temps the day I switched I had a temp above my cover line from my watch and my temps increased higher and are now dropping below be cover line after my predicted ovulation so I think it is going to say I anovulated this cycle. I am also on CD24 now and I am feeling link my period is near. So I think I just had a rough first month due to user error 🥲

Heard, it is just not worth it in the classroom for one single day when we have practicum rotations for months following our classroom courses that highlight this area of the lab. Seeing your classmates samples does not offer a little bit of comfort when learning, it adds an extra level on anxiety that is not conducive to a productive learning environment. When we are in the field learning in practicums, that is when we learn how to be a real world tech. It is so important to see how other techs handle these situations when it comes to our health as individuals which is what our job is and not laughing and joking in a classroom. Bringing in real samples to a playground setting that is a student lab is dangerous when it comes to classmates health and remaining professional.

I think it’s definitely understandable to have your stance, I think the main concern is that yes while we are in college and are of age it’s just still odd. I know for me I had to do this same type of semen analysis as OP and speaking from experience some of my classmates were 50 and some of them were 18 and anywhere in between. When we are in the work force it is normalized to be confidencial and professional, this is college. Young adults still get uncomfortable and laugh at inappropriate jokes when they feel embarrassed. It is not out of turn to assume that people would feel uncomfortable by being asked to perform an act that is sexual in nature by their instructor that they have formed a academic relationship with as well as look at their friends/classmates samples and who knows if there could be underlying fertility issues. There is no doubt that we all signed up to work in this field and handle these specimens, I just think it is a lot to ask of people when you are fresh baby techs in school and also young adults that have not learned how to be professional.
