About the TTC Journey |
|
When my wife Leslie started having a strong "baby urge" I was not so sure I'd actually be a good father. And I didn't want to bring a child into the world and not be the best Dad I could be. So we decided to take some parenting classes. We worked out our parenting styles and how we would resolve many of the common problems new parents face. I decided that I'd make a good Dad after all! And I knew my wife would be a great Mom too. Next we got several books on how to conceive and we began our journey. Charting, taking temps, making love on the "correct days" - we were very diligent in our attempts. After one year of ttc with no luck we both were examined. My wife was "normal" in all respects - but my sperm analysis was not good. The doctor said that I had a varicocele that was probably effecting my sperm production. I agreed to have it surgically repaired. The surgery was not too bad - I slept through it and was a bit sore for a week or so. But a few months after the surgery my sperm count, motility, was MUCH better. The little swimmers were ready to go! My urologist had asked us alot of questions during our initial exam phase and he asked us to come in after my sperm count was good to give us "a few pointers that should help in ttc." They were very helpful in our ttc and I'd like to pass them on to others who are ttc too. He told us that the best "baby dancing" positioning for us would be as follows: My wife should lie on her back with a pillow under her hips. I should then come into her and as we made love she should bend her knees and pull them up towards her chest as this positioning would allow me to make the best "connection" with her cervix and would greatly improve our chances of getting sperm directly into the womb. When I was ready to climax I should go as deeply as possible and both of us should hold perfectly still as I climaxed. Afterwards my wife was to remain still, on the pillow, with her knees bent up for 30 to 45 minutes. We baby danced exactly as instructed and my wife said at the time that I was "very deep in her, much deeper than I've ever felt you before" and that while it was not painful to her - it felt like "alot of pressure" and "not all that comfortable". Afterwards she lay still for the prescribed 45 minutes and, sure enough, - that was the conception day of our wonderful daughter per the analysis of her ob/gyn doctor. We've had the opportunity to share this baby dancing method with several couples we know who were ttc with no success and it's been helpful for all but one couple who it was found that the wife had damaged her ovaries in a car accident when younger. While I can't guaranty this will work for everyone - it sure worked for us and it just may be a help to you too. So... Keep trying! Becoming a parent is an incredible experience and I only wished to always keep it romantic and loving. Our baby dancing days were by far the most romantic time of our lives and we smile each time we recall them. Good luck and prayers to all. Mark |
