A little more than bulging belly

Pregnancy is a little more complicated than what i thought to be just the bulging belly itself. It's all about knowledge and learning human biology all over again. Well, not exactly. Some things are just not in the books. Schools won't teach you how to do A to get B and do C to get to D. You have to learn it by hard.

Schools teach you about XX chromosome for a girl and XY for a boy but they never teach you sperms of X-chromosome are bigger in size, swim slower, carry food on them for "camping" and of course, live longer than those of Y-chromosomes. And not to mention that due to the various characteristics of X-chromosome sperms, you wanna have girls, you gotta xxx like 6-5 days (back count) prior AND stop whatever you enjoyed 3-2 days before and on the ovulation day. Well, why stop since it maximizes the chance of scoring a goal? I've said, if you want a girl, you should do something like above.

Y-chromosome sperms appear slimmer, swim faster and die off quicker as they can't be bother to carry food on them. So, if you continue xxx for the rest of the days until ovulation day, you'll max the chance for the Y-sperms to reach the goal faster instead of allowing the X-sperms to do that. Poor them! They've been camping for days....

If you don't mind having either a boy/girl, then do however and whatever you want from after menstrual til ovulation and stop right there since anything after ovulation is no more fertile.

Now, if you would like boys, of course, as much xxx 3-2 days before and on ovulation day itself and hopefully they can find their right way. Again, only one side of the ovaries is at work each month so if the swimmers get in the wrong entrance then bless them.

Above are only some guidelines i learnt by hard via Internet and i don't bear any responsibilities upon any failures (credit me the success if you've seen this and did what i told ya and yay~you're pregnant). Please also be advised that even if you have done all the above and still don't see the result, the cold hard fact is that, there's only 25% chance of conceiving each month for doing everything correctly.

Another fact is, sometimes the more u depend on those ovulation kits, Basal Body Temperature-taking and charting and etc, the less chance you might get to conceive. Maybe it's the stress factor. The more stress u put on yourself and yr partner, the more it might not be a success. Mine? I threw those away 1-2 months ago and later, i'm having a small bulging belly. Believe it or not.

After some facts on the sperms, let's look at the ovary.

Those (many) round follicles, you actually get them from your mother since the day you were formed as a fetus inside your mummy's womb. Those follicles are being released every month to assist with your ovulation (some months you don't get ovulation even though you're perfectly healthy and menstrual still arrives like every other months). You will see all the round follicles as some deep black holes on computer scan. The "holes" vary in sizes. Holes with bigger size means they're almost ready to rupture and follicle in it to be released for ovulation in the next few months. The number of holes and follicles DO NOT increase in numbers as you grow older but in fact, they decrease in numbers. That, explains the proved fact that older women (>35) are less fertile as the follicles have been decreasing for the past 30+ earlier years and they're left with not many in the ovaries. It makes conceiving a little more less chance and harder than younger age women. To me, it's a very scary fact to come to know this. Just to think that one day, my ovaries will not have any of the fertile follicle left makes me go @_@"

So, if you're healthy, got a steady ongoing partner to spend the life with, not against marriage, not having that thought "i should enjoy while i'm still young", not against babies, not against the idea of having the responsibility of taking care of a family, then i don't see why you're not into the idea of getting married a little younger and get started a little younger. And no offense to anyone here. Everyone enjoys different lives. So enjoy yours.
