Yep, I'm a freak of nature, literally.

[RayvenQ]

Howso you may ask? My Dad's sterile and has been since before I was born or even concieved, yep, that's right, i quite literally shouldn't exist. And no, I'm not adopted or someone elses child, my mother would have told me if that were the case. Kinda explains why I was premature and weighed only 3lbs 7oz

[Jester]

Actually, the answer is simpler than you being a freak of nature. To wit, your father is not sterile. Pretty much by definition. Unless your mother had a dalliance with the milk man, and you've pretty much ruled that out.

Now, your father may have tested as sterile. And he may be very close to being sterile. He may be 99% sterile. But since you are here typing this, he cannot be 100% sterile.

Unless I completely misunderstand the definition of the word "sterile."

Your dad probably just had low sperm count. When sperm count is tested as very very low, most men are under the impression they are sterile. But it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg, so these things can still happen.

I don't understand why your dad's sterility has anything to do with your birthweight?

[RayvenQ]

Well considering they tried to have another child often for at least 7 years after I was born...(Yeah, I was thrilled to find that out )

Well, a ton of suicide sperm to break the wall but yeah i get what you're saying. And see above.

As for my birthweight, that was just a joke.

There are couples with no discernible issues that can try that long with similar results. So, unless you're saying you're Jesus, your parents merely beat the odds once. That doesn't make you a freak.

Maybe he had a narrow urethra like Hank Hill?

I was the unwanted baby. My dad said no more kids after my parents had my brother. So my mom started skipping her pills... My brother is 8 years older then me.

PS: My daddy loves me and is glad I'm alive, he was just not thrilled when he found out my mom was preggers with me.

Join the club!

My parents were broke as jokes, Mom depended on her Pill, and I happened anyway.

And I know for a fact she didn't skip a Pill. My mother is the most organized person on earth.

Sometimes I feel a little jealous when I look back and remember that my brother was planned and I was an oops but I try not to let it get to me.

[BookstoreEscapee]

My brother and I were both planned but I was not allowed to be anything other than a girl. My mother refused to so much as entertain the possibility.

You'd be surprised-I found out in HS biology when my blood type was wrong for my "parents"-and my mom told me everything....except that...she didn't tell me who my father was until he was dying(I was almost 17 and the man I knew as my "father" was dead before she told me), and then she felt she had to as it was a genetic condition...had he not had it I would've never known who he was.....

My parents had The Witch. Four years later, they had me. They had a boy and a girl, and they were happy.

Lil Sis is 16 months younger than me. She was a surprise.

Shortly thereafter, Dad got a vasectomy. (I just found this out recently, actually.)

[Racket_Man]

I was the change-of-life OPPPPSSSS baby. back in the late 50's, apparently, Dr's told woman at the onset of/early stages of Menopause, they could now have fun all the time without protection. well 9 months later I came along when Mom was 43. my siblings are 13, 15 and 17 years older than I.

[Chazzie]

I'm an accident baby. My mama says I'm the best mistake she ever made.

Don't know why, I made her life hell for a very very long time. But we're on good terms now and I keep her life interesting.

[fireheart]

from what I know, mum got sterilised after she had my sister.

My parents still use condoms though....don't ask how I know....

Well, they do make the cleanup after the act a little easier.
