Yeah, I actually called the fertility lab over at Peterson... Their advice was: finish the antibiotics, wait seven days, hold off on sex for 3 to 5 days, and then head in for the test.

Hey everyone!

Hey there!

I've got a referral for some fertility testing over at the Mayo Clinic (Peterson's clinic), specifically for a semen analysis and culture.

I'm planning to head in this Wednesday, May 19th.
Right now, I'm finishing up a course of Sumamed antibiotics—started last Friday and I'll be done by Tuesday (the day before my appointment).
Will being on antibiotics mess with the results, or should I wait a few days after I finish them?
Wednesday is perfect for me since I already cleared it with my boss at work to take the day off...
