Did you that Kikuyus are actually 50% Maasais?
Even with perfect timing, your odds of getting pregnant in any given cycle are only about 20 to 25%. This is why it takes the average healthy couple under 35 3-6 months to conceive. After 37, those odds drop to about 10 to 15% per cycle. By 40, you are looking at closer to 5 to 10% per cycle. Most couples are never told this. They try for a couple months, panic, and end up at a fertility clinic before they have even given their body a real chance. It is so important to understand your cycle and optimize the factors you can control so you can get pregnant fast. But it still does not guarantee a pregnancy in month 1 or 2. Give it 3-6 months before jumping to interventions. Or hit us up at @joinferta.
I feel so disgusted with the generational vibe that told us that having kids wasn’t a priority and that being a mom was kind of a lesser path. Dealing right now with someone close to me who completely missed the life she should have had, which would have made her very happy— as a mom of a bunch of kids. She believed the social justice messages and made other choices. Materialistic superficial choices btw. She’s traveled extensively and has fancy appliances and a nice (huge, empty) house — and a bunch of social justice bona fides. She was misled. This isn’t someone who was always a bit salty and never wanted kids. She wanted them, but it seemed lame and selfish and not as important as her SJW pursuits. (Which amounted to what? Nothing. The whole thing was a vibe.) I have the same life advice.
One strange medical fact.
I think it’s okay to want more from life than just children and a family.

I went to the same primary school with my younger sister. And I remember this other time we went to school with no food because things were tough at home. Homegirl still came to me during break time crying (accompanied by kids from her class) apparently she’s hungry😂.
I don't care how you people see this but just so you know, My wife cannot on her own decide to deliver by Caesarean section. I have heard that some women no longer want to deliver vaginally and are opting for CS even when a vaginal birth is perfectly safe. That is unacceptable to me. Unless the doctor advises or recommends a CS due to medical reasons, she must deliver vaginally the way a woman should. Fear of pushing is not an excuse. I will not allow any woman to carry my child and then choose CS simply because she is afraid of labour pain. Fear of pushing is not a medical condition. Above all, love God.

🇳🇦 BREAKING: Namibia just paid off its entire IMF debt. Zero balance. $23.8 million repaid. No new loans. No new conditions. Freedom. While other nations drown in IMF austerity, Namibia walked out. No more structural adjustment. No more neoliberal lectures. No more foreign control over economic policy. This is what sovereignty looks like. Paying your debts. Refusing new ones. Charting your own path. Namibia is free. Other African nations should take notes. Question for the timeline: Which African country should be next to tell the IMF goodbye?
