Dopey Thoughts.

What’s the most ridiculous ‘misconception’ that you have ever heard another adult have?

Last week someone said that if a man and woman o at the same exact time then they ‘cancel each other out’ and pregnancy is impossible.

I won’t tell you that my husband said this because that would be embarrassing.

I might tell you if I wind up pregnant and am able to stand as physical proof that his theory is WRONG.

I heard that it actually increases the odds.
Uh-OH!

I've posted this before but my sister's theory on "egg donation" takes the cake.

My sister & I were discussing egg donation. She had read an ad where she could get $7K for donating her eggs. She asked me if I ever thought about it. I said yes, before I was married I looked into it. I thought if I wasn't going to have kids, someone else should benefit. I researched it but thought the risk factors were too great for me. Between early menopause, possible multiple pregnancies, ruptured ovary, hormones etc I decided against it. Also the egg harvesting sounded a bit scary to me.

She said "What do you mean egg harvesting?"

I said "well I'm not exactly sure how it works but a needle in my ovary sounds a bit scary & I hate needles. How do you think it was done?"

She responded "Well now that you said it, I guess what I was thinking sounded a little stupid. I thought maybe I masturbated & an egg dropped out."

Perfect timing, as it was time for Easter. When we brought the kids over to dye eggs, she said "Do you think we'll have enough eggs?" DH responded, "Maybe you could just masturbate & drop a couple more."

Re: Dopey Thoughts.

When my brother and his wife were TTC, he told me that he thought they needed to go see a specialist. I asked him why. He told me that he had been having sex with his wife EVERY DAY for the past 5 months and she hadn't gotten PG yet. I explained the "theory" of ovulation to him. My nephew was born 9 months later.
