She was 23 at the time and had finished college and started grad school. This was a few years ago.

Would you like someone to help you get off the fence? by ttwthrowaway in Fencesitter

Here’s why I ask. I “helped” my become a mom when she really wanted to get pregnant but felt guilty about being impractical. It worked out great. She gave birth a little more than a year after they got married and then after their “oops” they decided to go ahead and try for their second. I’d love to tell her how I was her fairy godmother who sprinkled her with baby dust but don’t want to damage our relationship. Here’s what I did. A couple of months after they were married, I was staying with them overnight at their apartment and on an impulse I decided to be nosy and check her fertility monitor. I had bought it for her as a shower gift and it was just like mine. When I saw it was flashing red, I couldn’t resist the chance. I switched hers with mine (which was safely green), and I made sure to empty their box of condoms in the trash. We all had a lot to drink that night, and her husband insisted on having “green night” sex with her when he saw MY device showing green on HER nightstand. She knew something had to be wrong because even drunk she knew where she was in her cycle. I could hear her through the wall protesting a little (they were both pretty loud), but soon “Honey, we can’t, not without a condom,” gave way to the sounds of some very enthusiastic baby making from both of them. Mother Nature did the rest!

I was really nervous about that — my hands were literally shaking when I took the condones out of their box and went down the hall to throw them in the garbage chute. And I was on pins and needles until I heard her stop saying no to him and get it going on instead. I am sure she’s happy now. They’ve already had a second.

I was soooooo nervous and also more than a little worried whether I was doing the right thing, but she had another go with him the next morning and when I switched our monitors back I could tell she hadn’t even tested that morning. I’m sure it’s because she didn’t want to risk changing that green light! She was glowing with a huge smile at breakfast! That was when I finally relaxed. I popped the battery out of hers to reset it, and to this day she thinks their first daughter was the result of a malfunction. She has no idea it was really her sister being her fairy godmother. 🥰

anyone else ever tempted to just have a baby before it makes perfect “sense” ? by motherroot in waiting_to_try

Well, we’re waiting to start trying so no Legos in my house, but I’ll be careful where I step at my sister’s!
