    “over a month” is a weird way to put it when the pregnancy window is a very small part of the roughly one month cycle.

    The people who struggle to get pregnant usually try for a year or several years.

      The image was very “tell me you know nothing about pregnancy without telling me”. But I appreciate the sentiment as someone that tried “over a month”

        I know this couple that tried for 6 years went to doctors for 4, gave up hope and adopted two babies. 5 years later (15 after they first started trying), they got naturally pregnant. But wife was already 47 at the time, they didn’t think they could care for three financially. Plus the wife was mortally afraid of developing favor over the biological child over adopted. So they just aborted it.

        But I always remember them fondly for trying to do right by the two babies they adopted. Strength of Hercules on that couple.
