My wife Andrea and I have two beautiful children. They have completed our family in ways I never thought possible.
We had our first about a couple years after we got married. My wife got pregnant almost instantly after we started trying. It was a very smooth process all the way through to the birth of our first daughter Jessica.
When we started trying again a couple years later for our second, we thought it would be just as easy. How wrong we were.
We weren't concerned during the first few months of trying. We just figured we were mistiming the cycle or maybe we just got lucky the first time. The more time went by however, the more stressful things became. It got to the point where it was hard to get excited about our sex life in general. After eight months of trying, we gave in and went to see a specialist. They decided they would run tests on Andrea first.
We had multiple appointments over several months. I'm not sure what all they did as far as the tests because I was never allowed in the room, but Andrea always described them as unpleasant and painful. I felt bad for her because I knew how much she wanted another child and I was angry the staff wouldn't allow me to be with her during the seemingly agonizing tests.
They also had us try different things at home. They suggested having sex at different times of day, which I couldn't understand how that would make any difference. They had her download an app to track her cycle, which gave reminders for times that were supposed to ideal for us to try. They also offered advice on various sex positions that they were sure were winners, so to speak.
To say those conversations with the older female doctor were uncomfortable was an understatement. It didn't help the doctor was an attractive brunette despite her age.
"Are you a butt guy?" I remember her asking me.
"Uhhh..." was all I could muster. I could feel my face turning red.
"Because I think reverse cowgirl is the ideal position to get pregnant. It'll put less pressure on the male and will allow the female to control the depth of penetration. Of course it helps if the male has a decent length to him in this position, but if he's six inches hard that's good enough for that position."
She referred to me and Andrea as the "male" and "female" as if we didn't have names.
"Are you six inches hard?" I was taken aback by the question. "If you're not it's no problem. I can suggest other positions, but we need to make sure we get deep penetration to give the semen better access to the cervix."
My face was even redder, I'm sure. I hold my own when I'm fully hard, close to seven inches, but in a regular state it's closer to two, if that. I felt like the doctor was x-raying me as she surveyed me.
"Um, yes that's fine," I mustered, wanting to look anywhere but the doctor's eyes.
"If you have trouble with reverse cowgirl, the male can also try having the female lay on her stomach. It can get deep penetration as well."
The doctor then gave us homework. We were to log when we had sex, what position was used, and so on. They even wanted to know if my wife climaxed, which I couldn't see why that would matter in the least.
"It's all relevant," she kept saying.
I looked at the pamphlet we were given. In addition to the positions described, it also mentioned missionary style ('this is a lot of effort for the male', it said), doggy style, side by side ('like scissors' it said) and wheelbarrow.
Now, Andrea and I aren't prudes by any means, but we aren't super varied in our positions when we fuck. We like what we like. Still, I have to say it was fun to try out all the different positions, though a little weird. We always like cowgirl where Andrea would face me. It gives me a great view of her gorgeous 38D breasts and she tells me it feels the best. The reverse cowgirl wasn't bad, and I do love Andrea's butt, but we both agreed it didn't feel as good and felt strange for us.
We tried the side by side position but one of us kept flipping on top of the other in the moment. We ended up defaulting to the regular cowgirl position, and Andrea dutifully logged her climax in our log.
We actually had to look up wheelbarrow. ('This is the optimal position to get the semen close to the cervix' the pamphlet said.)
When Andrea held herself up with her hands, I bent down and took in her boobs dangling toward the floor and really great view of her entire pussy, lips and all. She really did look sexy from all angles.
I enjoyed trying the position. I stood up and held her legs while pulling them around my thighs to enter her. Despite my best efforts we lost our balance and both fell down. We ended up with her riding me on the floor as I felt myself explode inside her.
One morning I heard Andrea squeal from the bathroom. We had a positive pregnancy test. It was a sigh of relief. We thought the worst was over.
When we returned to the clinic a couple months later for our eight week appointment, we were blindsided. We were told that Andrea had miscarried. They did more tests on Andrea, which caused physical pain and emotional anguish. In spite of all that, she was insistent we keep trying, which we did. We kept track of everything in the log.
Months went by without another positive pregnancy test. There were yet more tests and blood work from the doctor. Eventually they got around to wanting a full work up on me. I didn't think anything of it as I arrived by myself. We didn't figure Andrea needed to wait around for that. She had spent more than enough time in the clinic for both of us.
We were instructed to not have any sex for 72 hours before my appointment, so that I could give a proper semen sample. I figured that would be part of my work up.
As I waited in the familiar waiting room for what seemed like an hour, I began to get nervous. It felt odd to think I would be jacking myself off in a doctor's office. I began to worry about the logistics of it, probably unnecessarily.
Eventually, the door opened and a much older gentleman than me emerged. "We'll be in touch about your results," I heard a female voice say. I looked up and saw a knockout that couldn't have been more than 25. She stood about 5'8, had shoulder length blond hair and I could tell she had a good rack even under her medical coat.
"Rick?" She said kindly with a smile.
