If they told the truth, there would be a lot more younger parents just because they wouldn’t understand all the signs. I think it would be better to scare kids. The fertility cycle is actually pretty interesting once you sort of understand it.

It’s one of the most objectively infuriating things on earth, how people who want kids are trying for years and people who don’t want kids briefly wink at each other at a party once are immediately carrying octuplets.

announcing that you’re having raw sex is always so wild to me lol.
one thing to say you’re ready for kids and another to say you’re actively trying to a bunch of strangers

Well, when you’re in 8th grade, a non-zero chance of getting pregnant is way too high. When you’re an adult and trying to get pregnant, the actual percentage chance of getting pregnant seems too low.

Man. When I was in school they had us believe as soon as there was penetration a baby was conceived. And that your life was absolutely completely over if you were a teen parent. In fairness the teen pregnancy rate did drop.

My wife has been pregnant 3 times each time it was on my first shot. We literally got off birth control had sex once and she was pregnant each time. My sister on the other hand took 2 years to get pregnant. People are different, but as a teenager assuming it will happen on the first try is a better idea.

They made it seem like we’d all be 16 and pregnant but we’re 32 and infertile.

Maybe they did lie, but they also didn’t know how fertile you specifically would be.

My friend’s cousin got his then gf pregnant taking each other’s v-cards while he was wearing a condom and she was on the pill.

My wife and I tried for our first for like maybe two years. It got to the point where we were going to see specialists, then it just happened.
Our next kids all happened with one time slip ups (although we wanted more so weren’t being too careful, but each one happened at literally the only opportunity it could have)

The older one gets, the harder it is to conceive usually. I have friends who have tried in their thirties without much success, while teenagers will get pregnant while using contraceptives.

My husband and I were doing the “okay we’ll stop using protection and when it happens, it happens” thing. We were expecting it to happen within a year and it happened like the third time we had sex. I could tell I was ovulating and was like “well this is probably it” and sure enough

My wife and I defeated 2 forms of birth control for the first child and then got pregnant on the first try 2 more times after that…
Sooooooo…. Depends on the person

its always been weird to me that its socially acceptable to just openly say that you and your wife are raw dogging it without leaks

It’s tiring. My friend who constantly whined SINCE HIGH SCHOOL about thinking she doesn’t want a kid gets to have a second birthday party this month. That same week I’m doing an egg retrieval for IVF and I’ve wanted a kid unchangingly but all I ever got was periods and a miscarriage.
I hate this shit.
