Yup....I was even brave enough to ask the nurse directly and she just blushed and said...."uh, uh...just read that paper here"...I found that the larger the container, the more successful I was. We actually still had one of those pans they give you after you give birth, the kind that you are supposed put underneath the toilet bowl lid and put hot water in and sit over. That worked quite well.
Be absolutely sure to fill the "specimen" to the line. Ugg. I was less grossed out by the feeling/ seeing of it, as by the smell. If you can put something that smells pleasant behind you, so that you can turn around and smell it, I found that helps with the nausea.
Oh, and if there is no preservative (a colored/ smelling liquid already in the tube), be sure to refridgerate the tube until you take it to the doctors.
Maybe you're already done now, but I had to take several over a 48 hour period, so I thought it might still help.
Good luck!
