it's not fair

trying to get pregnant makes you feel resentment towards anyone and everyone who has ever become pregnant without trying. and no one is more exasperating than teenagers. how is it fair that hundreds of thousands of teens can get so easily knocked up while trying NOT to? while a committed, loving husband and wife are left taking temperatures, scheduling sex and jumping through hoops with no success?

it boggles the mind.

"we're trying"....ick.

common knowledge states that when you are trying to conceive there should be tons of sex involved. i mean, isn't that what you picture when any couple utters the phrase, "we're trying"? you immediately picture them having sex 10 times each day. ick. for that reason i try to avoid using that phrase at all costs.

but in reality, experts say when you are trying to conceive that you are supposed to have sex only every other day or else the sperm are not as powerful.

my husband and i get frisky a fair amount. in the grand tradition of over-worrying about conception i began freaking out on occasions when we had sex two days in a row. what if the little guys were tired? what if we blew our chances? this led to the following comic....the first as we begin a journey towards adding a baby to this little family.
