How much do you know about making a baby? {Quiz}

I've had a few messages regarding women and their men not knowing about the TTC process. I truly believe that our society truly knows very little about just what it takes to make a child. I don't think it's anyone's fault, I just think this is a topic that isn't taught in depth in sex ed. I can understand why because they'd have teen girls temping, taking OPK's to plan their fun time around AF.

I think not only is it men who have a rudimentary understanding of making a child but I think many women do as well. I see it when I see a women who is just starting out and the particular questions asked about how it happens. I feel that we can help these people by being gentle and not looking down on them as if they were an 'idiot' of some sort. So in the spirit of learning I'm posting the following Making a Baby quiz (Answers found at the end of the quiz) that can be found (http://www.todaysparent.com/makingababy)
