Deep thoughts on Reproduction

lgsdesigner

As I am charting again and preparing to create another baby, I think about the life of the egg. You are born with these eggs, then an egg is chosen each month as ‘the one’ to possibly become a human being. Next--- this said waiting egg doesn’t get fertilized, and it melts away with AF. Poor little egg!

Makes me wonder if each of these eggs were fertilized, who would these people be? A possible president? Billionaire? World Peacemaker? What would they look like? What personality would that have?
Reproduction itself just fascinates me, and it’s just an interesting process to think about. 

(forgive me...I am a big science nerd) :-B

I think about that too, and also perhaps especially think about the miscarriage I had in my early 20's and the chemical pregnancy I had last year.  It makes my heart break for couples that don't have living children and yearn for them.  I cannot imagine my life without my boys.  I can't wait for grandkids! (but not for a little while yet!)

@kelley72 - Yes, all of that, too. I also have had a few miscarriages, and it's hard. I also hope every day that the women that deserve so much to have a baby that have never had one before get that chance!

I think about it often too. Did u all realize that once upon a time we was in our maternal grandmas body. Sounds crazy but b4 girls are born they have all of their eggs already.

Reproduction is truly a miracle. So many things have to happen at the right moment to become pg. some of us on this board are fortunate to have a baby or two. But for those that don't, don't give up ur dreams will come true

@C_Girlie- It is truly a miracle. So much has to happen perfectly at just the right time. 
Something interesting about my DD: When she was born she had a mini period and lactated for about 2 days. Made me 1) freak out and 2) say "whoa....this stuff isn't supposed to happen yet!"

Turns out I had too much estrogen in my body for the both of us, so she got some early signs of fertility. Pretty crazy stuff!

I'm absolutely astounded that anyone is born "normal" at all. With everything that has to happen just to allow conception...and than all that cellular division and specialization ...and we've managed to make billions of people! Wow! It's amazing sperm even makes to the egg!

It's crazy but I really believe my DD was absolutely ready to be conceived as we got KU with her immediately.  I keep believing that child #2 is just waiting for the perfect time to be conceived. FX for this month.

I must admit that as soon as I read the title to this post this song entered my noggin:

@MelissaMiso- Hahaha! I haven't heard that song in YEARS. 

@eskimozie- I know, right?! It's pretty amazing. All of it.

That is kinda trippy, when you think about it!
