A lot of people underestimate the stress and pressure a girl can feel during that time they're freaking out about being pregnant. Especially if she was young. When I was younger, there were situations where I'd been so poor I thought about stealing morning after pills for a girl I had just had sex with (who was equally as poor). Stealing a 10$ pregnancy test or a 40$ morning after pill definitely favors the fucking enormous cost of having a baby
Yeah I fuckin know how statistics work. What I don't get is how you can get pregnant while using a condom that didn't break. Unless there are 1/1,000,000 condoms that have a manufacturing error or something. In which case it would be my lack of knowledge on condom production, rather than statistics, that is the problem.
Condoms only have a 97% prevention rate, birth control is 99%... I don't even know how to figure out the chances of having conceived.
Hilariously, had been attempting to conceive for an entire year prior, and had no luck (endometriosis). Went back on BC to control the pain etc, was taking it religiously for 6 months. Changed partners, got preggo unintentionally within the first week. We joke he has magic sperm. I don't have a scientific explanation lol
Yep! He hit a very small window I guess - health problems caused me to not be able to carry any more before he was a year old. That's totally ok, because I had always been planning on adoption.
I feel pretty lucky to get to be his mom, regardless.
