Have a baby when you are prepared to prioritising it. Successful children are an incomparable delight. Unsuccessful children are a nightmare

You make kids if you don't have period anymore (for girls)
you make kids if you have a job (for boys)

When should you have a baby? In today's world, global population is the root cause of most problems we're seeing across multiple sectors. So the simply answer should be "NEVER". Just adopt one. We need to get the human biomass down to around 2 billion. That will help EVERYTHING a lot.
But no, y'all gotta be narcissistic God-wannabes. Sigh. Just get a dog. They're far better than children. In nearly every single way. And it's better for Earth.

Does jerking off have an effect on male sperm cells in relation with reproduction?

If you don't have insurance, can't afford rent, didn't do anything cool or worthwhile with your life, or you are just an overweight virgin stuck in their beta phase. Don't even considering having a child. Let alone being in the prescence of anyone else's

Наууч поп, который саморазоблачает науку как фикцию.
Деторождение было такой важной темой, что до 2004 данные не собирались и на них забили.
А потом было подсобрали данные, но бросили в начале работы. Вероятность заберементь в 37 = 82%. А дальше? Да, лень собирать дату. И так сойдёт

I saved this video when I was like 14, thinking "I might need this when I older".
I am now 20 and date a 21(almost 22) guy, I discovered 2 years ago I have endometriosis and we are learning about it (how to treat, the risks) to be ready for trying for a baby in 4-5 years from now.
Thanks to my genetics, the best treatment for me is the slowest one available, and I am going to start a stronger one next year(because 21 will be the best age for it according to my doctor)
I know it seems over the top to be worries at 20, but me and my boyfriend want kids, at least 1, so it's better to start my treatment early so we can be safe and have less complications on the birth 🙂
(Just sharing because there are women who don't know they have endometriosis, about half of us don't know. If you want to have a child, even later in life get a check up. If you're trying and you're not making it, don't just do fertility tests, do endometriosis too!)
Best wishes for everyone who's trying for a baby (or not)
