The great sperm race

I just watched this today. That is so crazy. It gives me a total different perspective of this whole TTC process. Also makes me feel bad for all the sperm that dont make it.  Cant believe they have to go through all that.

    I know right?!?!?!  I watched it a week or so ago and it blew my mind too!  I am waiting for MH to watch it too because he is totally clueless about all of this TTC stuff.  It is amazing what it takes to make a LO! Cool

    It was amazing that's for sure! My DH watched it too and it completely changed his prospective on TTC. Definitely made him more attentive to my cycles and when we should BD, prior to watching it he just wanted to 'let it happen' and 'relax'. So I'm super psyched we watched it! And I can't believe what the sperm have to go through, it truly is amazing!

    You can find the videos on youtube. There are 6 parts to it.

    Keiper- I hope I can get my hubby to watch that video sometime. He is in that " when it happens it happens phase"

    Yes

    I love that video too!

    In my mind, the casting call for the sperm must have been hilarious.  "You want me to play a WHAT?!"

    Seriously, that wouldve been an odd audition lol.

    Was this on the Discovery Channel at one point?  I was pregnant at the time, and I remember my husband looking at me, eyes huge, and saying "It's a miracle you even got pregnant!"

    I just finished watching it with my DH. We both learned a lot! It makes it easier to relax and be patient when you know what a miracle it really is.
