Why is getting pg so bloody complicated?

I've been thinking that surely only a man could have been responsible for developing the female reproductive system. I mean, if it was a woman, it would be as follows: have sex, sperm and egg meet pretty much straight away, egg is fertilised and then implants (again, straight away) and hey presto, you get an immediate BFP. A woman would also have arranged for there to be more than a 12 hour window each month to get pg (I think it's called multitasking)!

But no, we have to time sex (removing all the spontaneity) after religiously taking our temp, examining our CM and peeing on ovulation sticks (which cost a fortune). We then have to wait at least 2 weeks which can seem like the LONGEST 14 days ever and even then we might not get a BFP.

Having spent so many years trying (successfully) to not get pg, why can't the switch to wanting to become a mother be simpler? I have come to the conclusion that God must have been a man. No woman would ever make a process so blooming complicated and long winded! Wink

Trust me I hear that but what about all those mindless youths out there not using protection having sex with a random stranger then finding out they are pregnant!!!!!!!
I do too wished it could not be so stressful wanting something so badly it hurts!

All the best "praying to God the man" your time will soon come and you'll be the happy " just got my BFP shouting from the rooftop and so flippin happy you could just pop" mother to be!
( don't mean that in a horrible way but in a sincere way) as I could of written this post everyday for the last 2 years!!!!
