Introduction.
Hi and welcome to my blog. I'm DD (aka Dynamodad) and as the title says a hopeful dad to be. In August last year I found out that I had a medical condition called Klinefelter's syndrome that would prevent me from ever producing children of my own.
It was obviously devastating for both myself and my wife. Thankfully mostly to the generosity of a donor and the advance of science in the world of reproductive medicine we have decided to embark on a journey of hope via Donor Insemination.
This journal was inspired by di-dad's blog to which you will find the link on this page. I would like to credit him for having the courage of bringing what is still regarded as a taboo subject in our society, out in the open, in the form of an informative and at times a touching blog.
Male infertility and its ramifications has for too many years been a subject that most people would rather avoid.
I feel that ,we as men are partially responsable for the fact that there isn't much help and support available to others like us, we must learn to put our machismo aside at times in order to make the broader population aware and to reach up to others in need. Thus I hope to follow in the steps of Di-dad but from an Australian perspective.

Welcome DD ! I am honored by your comments and look forward to following your blog. As more men decide to speak up we can begin to break down the stigmas and allow for more open discusion. I applaud this endeavor.
I was not sure when I saw a comment left by DD on my own that it was you and was happily surprised by the presence of this blog on your profile.

By the way cool picture. Makes me think I should change mine and let the DI Dads group have sole use of it.
Thanks for the encouragements and the practical tip ! :)
May you and your wife be blessed with a precious child you desperately yearn for. They are joys unspeakable.
Thank you for your kind words.
