          What does that even mean though? If there’s nothing to do, there’s nothing to do. If man is an animal that prays, fights, and works, and we grew up in a society that leaves little space for prayer and monastic life, has never known a real war, and has never had a thriving economy, where does that leave you? I’m thirty now but for my entire adult life, I’ve felt that there was basically nothing going on and nothing to do.

    I just spent a weekened with my little cousins and... dude I love kids so much. I don't get how there aren't numerous guys who aren't going around impregnating as many women as possible. I am married and my wife is on birth control but kids are just so delightful that I'd give up anything to have them and give them a decent childhood.

      Well, the thing is you have to give them a decent childhood. If you have neither money nor space, that’s a lot harder. That’s why there aren’t guys going around impregnating women. Especially since the legal system will make it even harder and then just take the kids away.

        These are subjective largely.
        >Especially since the legal system will make it even harder and then just take the kids away.
        I haven't heard or thought of this angle - do you mean neglect or just being poor? It's weird man - I was a total whore in a former life and I always wore a condom but now I look back, there are 35 families wanting to adopt for every kid born and I can't believe I ever didn't try to actively get them pregnant.

          Enough is subjective but not enough is not so subjective. I mean that in western countries the woman you have a kid with can just take the kids away and the legal system will not only defend her but order you to fund it.

      So... tell her to stop taking it and make some babies?? why would you marry a woman who wasn't intending to have children? She shouldn't be on that hormone-disrupting poison anyway.

        I asked her to get it originally and it's my fault. I agree with you but she'll wait to have kids. We'll still have 3-5 kids but that's probably it.

          The longer you wait the harder it is to get pregnant much less healthy babies. If you want 3-5 you must start as early as possible. After 30 egg quality declines and leads to fewer successful births. Not to mention egg quantity.

          Fertility doctors tell people that end up having to shop for donor eggs that they should buy the eggs from the youngest donors possible in order to actually get pregnant and carry to term.

        Are either of you married or women? Women live their lives trying to basically manicure how many kids they have nowadays - it's not only the norm but the goal. If I tried to do this she said she would divorce me.

          Yes I'm married with a son. My wife and I already agreed how many children we wanted before we got married. I would never have married her if she wanted to remain a non-reproductive. You're a retard.

                You can’t get pregnant if you don’t ovulate. If she is not ovulating you can cum in her all day long and you’ll never see a baby.

                Only caveat is the lifespan of sperm inside the female body if you do it near her ovulation period.

              It's called NFP (natural family planning) you track your basal body temperature and cervical mucus to figure out when you can raw dog it with no hormonal birth control. There is a wearable bbt thermometer called Tempdrop that makes it very easy. Successfully spacing the birth of my kids about two years apart with no happy surprise babbies doing this. It's a little more effort than just taking a pill, sell it to your wife by saying it's natural with no side effects.

              We waited too long and had to use donor eggs so trust me about this. Egg quality is the number one thing that matters (quantity aside, sense you can’t have quality without eggs) and it declines the older a woman gets

                It was a last resort for us, happened in mid 30s. Expensive. Get your family going and you’ll never have to consider it.

                16k per cohort which is 6-8 eggs approx. then embryos are made and tested for genetic issues, luck of the draw on how many remain after fertilization.

                ~8-12k more for all testing and prepping mother for implant, but I’ve heard some clinics are pricier than that. Then if you fail you have to go through more cycles of prep for implantation.

                Or buy more eggs too if you were not successful.

                Just knock your wife up while she is young trust me
