Half trying? Was she asleep?
Then you are wasting time. Efficiency is the key here, man. Get in and get out....none of that lollygagging business.
Wife and I just started trying (literally this week), so I'm curious to see the results of this poll.
I mean, I know it's not barnicles like in the ocean, but is that the real term for it?
Do you think your friend will celebrate the child's 1st birthday or any thereafter?Zow said:After your wife/gf got off birth control and you actively started "trying." A friend wants to know. He's heard conflicting stories and figures this would make for a big enough sample size.
Not all birth control is the same, and not all women are the same. That said, removing a non-hormonal IUD doesn't have a delay like getting off the pill generally does. She could get pregnant almost immediately.I have people insisting it takes several months after female gets off birth control. That it's a guarantee. I believe they may be doing this to urge my friend to start trying sooner, like ASAP.Explain "conflicting stories". Or is everybody supposed to get pregnant at the same rate?After your wife/gf got off birth control and you actively started "trying." A friend wants to know.

Other stories, which I surmise to be true, instead indicate it varies from immediately to over a year.
Coincidentally, my wife had her IUD removed two hours ago.
So, Woz you can say I'm the "friend" if you want.
She contacted her doctor and that's what the doctor said too.

He's a pretty rational dude so he'll probably acknowledge it, but certainly won't expect others to get up in arms about it or attend some party where they want to stab themselves. His wife on the other hand...TheIronSheik said:Do you think your friend will celebrate the child's 1st birthday or any thereafter?After your wife/gf got off birth control and you actively started "trying."

This entire thread.
Define "pretty young." I'm thirty and she is about to turn twenty-nine. Marriage is good, I'm making FBG bucks now, and I'd rather play golf, grill out, and go to bed early on the weekends than run a 12 hr. poker session followed by nightclubs and strange until 4 AM. I'm in no major rush but we'd like to have a couple of kids and probably want to do so before my wife hits her mid-thirties (for health reasons + not being old parents). Given that I'm the first point in my life where the idea of having a kid doesn't freak me out, seems like a good time to start (note: IUD won't be removed until January and current plan is to not "be pregnant" until next Spring).This entire thread.
Woz, are you sure? I mean you guys are pretty young, right? What's the rush here?
It just means that their wives or girlfriends got pregnant before even having one period/cycle after getting off birth control.
Now THAT belongs on Jerry Springer. Or Maury, complete with the lie detector test.
