The Great Sperm Race

terime · April 2015

Thanks to the recommendation of the lovely ladies here, I just finished watching it. Guys, its so good!

I was having a bit of a pity party bc I'm 99% sure I'm out this cycle and man do I feel better. Really puts this whole TTC in perspective.

Thanks for the great tip! I really recommend it if you haven't checked it out. Great watch for DH, too. Search for it on youtube

I just finished watching it too! Definitely puts things in perspective. PMS hormones are still telling me to sulk and eat ice cream, but this does help.

I just got finished watching it too. Wow, just wow. I will definitely be showing DH tomorrow. Thanks for the post. \:D/

Yes! Search for "the great sperm race" I found it in a 6 part (10 mins each clip) post. So good! It really puts ttc into perspective. Enjoy!

Watching it now! So cool!

DH and I sat down to watch it last night, too! At the end I asked him if he learned anything new and he said yes, a lot. I wasn't having any trouble with him as far as being on the same page TTC, pressuring me about testing, or anything with BDing whenever we need to, but he does keep insisting that we need to have 2 kids. I keep telling him that I'm 35 and we might have to be happy with only 1, if any. I think The Great Sperm Race at least clued him in on how it might take longer than he might've thought to get the BFP.

The vagina ninjas crack me up every time.

Also, the sperm luge has just totally messed up giving my DH hand/BJs... I'll I can think about is the sperm screaming through the "slide"

I watched it a few days ago after seeing someone post about it- so entertaining and illuminating! I was also thinking about my actor friends and wondering if the actors were told by their agents "today's job, you will be a sperm" LOL! Totally cracked me up!

MaMinette13 · April 2015

I watched the first ten minutes from a clip posted on another board and loved it! I can't wait until the DH and I actually have some time to sit down together and watch it. I am hoping this weekend we can!

LoveLucy0413 · April 2015

DH loved this documentary. Very informative and entertaining. @crogers19 I can still picture them screaming before the "release" It was my favorite part ROFL

I wondered that exact same thing out loud to DH last night.

DH said they probably just put an ad for extras in the paper. That made me giggle more... "Extras Needed. To play human-size sperm. Some running required. Must look good in white."

LauraSmarterSpam · April 2015

Hahaha! The comments here. I'm making DH watch it tonight, or whenever we can. I don't know if I want our 3 year old watching it just yet. O_o

terime · April 2015

I would have absolutely signed up to be an extra in this.

KNB1027 · April 2015

I felt like I was watching The Hunger Games sperm edition! It was super informative though and I am trying to get DH to watch

heawilliams · April 2015

So I just told my DH we are watching this after DD goes to bed tonight and his response - I quote, "This is why in the YouTube video you sent me all girls start at a level 4 crazy". For those who haven't heard of the crazy/ hot women's scale, I have included the youtube link. Hilarious.

LOL I was thinking about that very thing!

This sounds hilarious I can't wait to sit down with DH and watch. I have two teenagers both 15, would this be something that I should have them watch with us? I obviously want them to have accurate information and I don't think they'll listen to a lecture from mom on the subject. Sounds like a mixture of humor and information might be perfect!

So last night I hung out with one of my girlfriends because her DH was out of town so we drank some wine and watched this. Best girls night ever.

terime · April 2015

That's so awesome! Having friends you can do stuff like that with is the best!

Yep, we compared our FF, discussed OPKs, polished off a bottle of wine, and watched this. She was my roommate my freshman year in the dorms and we stayed friends. We got married two weeks apart and we've just always been on very similar schedules in life. Now she lives down the street from me. Doing stuff with DH is awesome, but having a close female friend to do this crap with is the damn best.

heawilliams · April 2015

So DH and I watched this last night and he really enjoyed it. Definitely educational but with lots of humor.

However, this morning my DH looked over at me and said my Zombie Ninjas are currently killing his men. I about peed I was laughing so hard.

I think you can watch this with 15 years olds

Trisham1201 · April 2015

Watched this with DH last night and loved it! DH has a new appreciation for how hard TTC can be and is super pumped about making sure we do everything we can to increase our odds this cycle. This is a refreshing change from his initial approach of wanting to keep it spontaneous and just not-not try. Highly recommend for anyone struggling to get DH to understand how difficult TTC can be.

seashellz1223 · April 2015

Thanks for this! watched it this morning and it was amazing!! B-)

cards10 · April 2015

I too watched this the other day. DH had an all-day exam so I just told him certain things from it, maybe I can get him to watch it later. Great suggestions on this board, love it!

blinky1309 · April 2015

I watched this last night and was really amazing

KEY214 · April 2015

I watched this the other day and really enjoyed it. Also it kinda put things into perspective for me, which admittedly I needed. I was putting a lot of pressure on myself, and it really helped me to tone it down a bit.
