"Attempted" to go through the process. As in failed? Did you just walk in with a filled up ice cube tray demanding $40 a cube?
Cause I'll tell you that doesn't work either.
Long story but I'll try and shorten it. I went the first time and donated, which is a great story in and of itself. It took me like 30 minutes to find the office which was in the back of the hospital. After receiving my cup I am directed to one of two side rooms. I walk in and there is a couch, a TV, shelves of porno magazines, and some porno tapes. After finishing my donation standing in front of the TV, no way I was going to sit on that couch, I turned it in. Then the next step of the process is you call back a day later to see if your sperm count was high enough, mine was. Then they freeze your sample and a week later you call back to see if enough of your genetic soldiers survived the freezing. Unfortunately while my count was high my guys just don't like the cold, so that was my attempt. If I had passed then I would have to come back and give blood at which point they start testing for genetic defects and the like. If you pass all the initial tests then you get like $160, and you can get $40 for every donation and you can donate up to three times a week.
