I like my ovaries non-leaky

If there was ever a rotation to convince me to start trying to get pregnant prior to hitting 30, this is the one. Infertility treatments. Man. They are not fun. Or cheap. I mean, I'm glad we have all sorts of technology, but the scheduling and the planning and the side effects are intense. Even the low-tech treatments seem to leave women in some amount of pain and anxiety. And your risk of twins and triplets goes up, which I am against. I mean, they are super-cute, but that's a lot of baby all at once.

Thankfully, I come from good, fertile stock, so I don't really anticipate problems. But it's easy to scare yourself when all you see every day is women (couples) who want babies they can't have without our help.

Note: I have 5 years before I hit 30 (5 years and 15 days, really). No rush.

P.S. what do you have against twins?!

yeah what do you have against twins? Are you going to give one back? I am only against the kind of twins where one takes all of the nutrients and is normal sized and super smart and the other is well...not.

great reminder on the timeline - thanks for that. I have 1 year 11 months and 18 days. Yikes!

Mom - it's nothing against twins...it's the having of twins that is challenging. All that gestational diabetes and preeclampsia and higher risk of C-section. Besides, I know someone who had two sets of twins, and look how she turned out.

Tam - Seriously. Let us discuss your fecundity again. Ticktockticktock.
