It takes 6 months on average to conceive when trying to do so, over age 25

2018-08-28 22:41:31 UTC  

It’s easier if you try every day 😬

2018-08-28 22:41:40 UTC  

*trying without natural family planning methods like temperature charting, etc

I realized when we started trying to get pregnant that I'd really been lied to as a kid in Christian school. The reasons they gave for abstaining were that guaranteed, one of three things would happen: 1. You'll get pregnant 2. You'll get an STD 3. You'll get your heart broken. Turns out, not so much. Better to give kids the truth.

I have 3 daughters with my wife. She got pregnant with the first on our honeymoon, which we took the day after we got married. The 2nd one, she got pregnant within just a couple weeks of me returning from a year in Iraq. The third, she got pregnant with during the week I was home for R&R in the middle of my year in Afghanistan. oooosh

2018-08-28 22:48:25 UTC  

...all 3 born between 2009 and 2012.

2018-08-28 22:48:55 UTC  

Lol her cycle was perfectly aligned with your military schedule eh?

2018-08-28 22:49:07 UTC  

I guess so lol

2018-08-28 22:51:03 UTC  

That same scenario happens a lot in the military, especially with frequent and multiple deployments. It's almost scary when you look at the statistics on how often it happens. Hospitals near military bases deliberately plan ahead 9 months after units return from deployment to ensure they have adequate staffing for the incoming surge of new babies

2018-08-28 22:52:12 UTC  

I wonder if women's bodies deliberately get in sync with their partners' presence when extended absences occur?

2018-08-28 22:52:14 UTC  

Would women anticipating mil members returns affect it

2018-08-28 22:52:29 UTC  

If you’re trying get big, do not go to planet fitness

2018-08-28 22:52:57 UTC  

It's been theorized that human biology does that sort of thing on purpose, and also there's religious theory behind it, too.

2018-08-28 22:53:41 UTC  

I want to see a study of military wives' fertility cycles now lol

2018-08-28 22:54:00 UTC  

@⚡Clark⚡ Why's that?

2018-08-28 22:54:07 UTC  

We already know women living together sync up with one another

2018-08-28 22:54:23 UTC  

Ya seriously, there's case studies out there if you look hard enough. We were given lots of materials to read over pre-deployment that talked about it, but I don't have it anymore

2018-08-28 22:54:32 UTC  

The overwhelmingly low energy environment will kill any chance at making gains or pushing yourself. You can’t even make a grunt without social disapproval @ButMomShesA300YearOldLoliVampire

2018-08-28 22:54:42 UTC  

@ButMomShesA300YearOldLoliVampire they have a company policy of shaming people who lift heavy weights

2018-08-28 22:54:47 UTC  

Its for soyboys and women

2018-08-28 22:54:58 UTC  

Not for people serious

2018-08-28 22:55:16 UTC  

It’s kind of a brilliant business model though, keep your members out of shape and lie to them about how to get in shape

2018-08-28 22:55:16 UTC  

@missliterallywho the "women living together" thing plays a huge part in the theory. During deployment, the spouses/wives etc do A LOT of get-together stuff and hang out a lot, spending lots of time around each other, etc for support and w/e.

2018-08-28 22:55:27 UTC  

I'm seriously hoping my sister-in-law to be and I are pregnant at the same time when I'm ready for round 2

2018-08-28 22:55:29 UTC  

PF I go to seems fine but I want to move gyms

2018-08-28 22:55:35 UTC  

@⚡Clark⚡ @Grossly Incandescent Lmao I had no idea. Few friends of mine were going there and left for the gym I'm at now. Guess I know why now

2018-08-28 22:55:46 UTC  

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL that makes sense too, fascinating

2018-08-28 22:56:11 UTC  

It’s always fun to watch videos on YouTube of meatheads getting kicked out on purpose

2018-08-28 22:58:10 UTC  

As long as you're not like actully yelling, the employes at my local PF are fine with the usual gym stuff but the smith machines keep this thought in the back of my mind I'm not making as much gains I could be

2018-08-28 22:59:05 UTC  

Get a memestick for on the go gains

2018-08-28 23:00:00 UTC  

A shake weight?

2018-08-28 23:00:09 UTC  

Idk what it's actually called but it's hard af to use

2018-08-28 23:00:25 UTC  

It's a stick with a spring in the middle, you bend it

2018-08-28 23:00:44 UTC  

I cannot bend the 40kg stick at all

2018-08-28 23:01:04 UTC  

@fgtveassassin it’s not that you can’t grunt if you want to, but the psychological atmosphere creates for a very low energic and low intensity training session, if that makes sense

2018-08-28 23:02:24 UTC  

I do have a really old stretch armstrong in my house, yeah mid day its low energy and watching people have no clue what they're doing on a machine is pretty dumb, all the meat heads go at night

2018-08-28 23:04:47 UTC  

^ memestick

2018-08-28 23:04:53 UTC  

Most hilarious/adorable thing I’ve seen all week.
