Congrats OP.

If wife ever complains during pregnancy, tell her to be thankful. That for elephants, it is two years

hormones + nose + subconscious.

hello caveman.

Pheromones. But yeah, our noses register more than we realize.

My wife had been on the pill for 12 years. I was looking forward to a couple months of "trying." Knocked her up in like a week. Not fair.



Grats Zeze! Welcome to the club!

Grats man, just saw this thread! Hope things work out - I personally know at least 3 people that have had complications and lost their child on their first attempt. It's terrible.

If you've been trying to get pregnant for 6 months, you should have a pack of the bulk pregnancy test strips from Amazon.com. They cost like $.25 apiece and work as well as the $5 tests you get at the store. Every time my wife gets pregnant she starts taking the tests daily so she can see how the line gets darker from day to day as her HCG level rises at the beginning of the pregnancy.

Some of them also come with ovulation tests, which are useful when you're trying to get pregnant.

Damn, dude, you make it sound like it's a monthly thing :D

that's also not how pregnancy tests work lol. the darker the line means nothing. it's not like you can be "more pregnant". you either are or you aren't. there is either a line or there isnt.

Item number 1 on the list of things to never say after someone tells you they're expecting their first child...

Congrats ze. Just had my first last month. It's an adventure. A goddamn exhausting puke-covered shit-smeared adventure.

Take it from me....go out as much as you can between now and then.

<---2 kids under the age of 3.

It's definitely the best decision we ever made, but daycare isn't cheap and free time goes away.

You know what's creepy? I don't believe in all that sixth sense crap. Like your average ATOTer, I'm pragmatic, skeptical, and non-religious. However, 3 days ago, I dreamt that my wife was pregnant, and she's mentioned NOTHING about her late period (nor do I know when it's due). I've NEVER had a dream of anyone getting pregnant in my life. Sure enough, she told me she was late two days after. And on the third day today, it's confirmed. Creepy as hell.... wow.
