Hello im 17 and me and my bf are trying for a baby. We miscarried when i was 15 and thn i made the biggest mistake of my life by having a abortion last yr when i was 16. I regret it every day but tht is nt the reason for us wanting to try for a baby. Me and my bf have spoke long and hard and we have both come to the decision it is what we want. Yea u mite say we r 2 young , im 17 and my bf is 20, but age is just a number. If its what you want thn why shunt you do it. No matter how old u r it doesn't change the capability of bein able 2 luk after a child. U either r capable or ur nt. If you r some1 hu is tryin 4 a baby thn good luk and al the best and i hope tht u conceive soon. My and my bf have been trying 4 a couple of months bt nothing yet so fingers crossed. I am keeping track of my cycles and no roughly wen i am ovulation nw so just got 2 w8 and c wot happens now. :-)
im only 17..i know maybe "im to young to have a baby" but thats all i want in this world to have a baby. ive been having unprotected sex for about 4 to 5 months and evertime i always end up having my period. please someone tell me im able to have a child! thats all i want in this world to have with the love of my life...an angel from heaven. help
First of all you are only 17 years old. My advice for you is to finish high school and get your diploma and try to figure out what you need to do. Second piece of advice I am going to give you is to see a gynecologist if you have done so and get yourself a checkup. Third of all if you have a boyfriend, ask yourself if he also wants to have the baby too. If he doesn't then it is not worth the try. Don't just settle for any guy just to have a baby. If you want to have a baby be sure you are ready for it. If somehow you can't get pregnant along the line then have our gynecologist order tests. Rememeber once you have a baby, you can't give it back.

Are you financially secure? Do you have your own place? Do you pay for your car and insurance, health insurance? Do you even realize how much your parent/parents are doing for you right now? It is a rude awakening when you have to start doing your own financial budgeting. What about college or a good job? What about when you turn 21 and want to go party. If you don't have or do everything above then your are being selfish!!! No child deserves to be brought into a world b/c someone just needs to have a child. Once you go there, you can never go back. It is forever. You can't just ignore them when you want to go have fun. A baby is not the answer and if you think getting prego to keep you man around is a good idea. Guess again. Does he want to have a baby right now? Does he know your trying? Is he going to stick around and help? Not cool to trap someone for your own selfish reasons. If he is meant to be then he will still be there when you are done with school, when your 21, when your 30, etc........
Don't ruin your life and not give a child the chances in life they deserve! It isn't fair to you, him, or the baby. Not trying to sound harsh, but you really need to think about what you are doing and everything, I mean everything, that is involved is this decision.

at the age of 12 i satrted my sex life i was in foster care and awasnt well looked after at the age of 15 i decided i wanted to get pregnant and i tried with every guy i knew i got married at 17 and 6 months later i decided i cant get pregnant i forgot all about it didnt use ovulation sticks or anything but that month when i went to give blood donation i was told i was a anemic so i ran to chemist took a test and it was positive. i think you should relax and wait it will happen then cause your not stressin. x x x x x x x x x x x i hope you do get pregnant just like my daughter who is now 16 and she's trying too.
ok first off I'm pretty sure the lady asking question was not asking "hey what's your stand on my situation" she asked for help so by no means should anyone be judging her. second of all guess what I'm 17 and my fiance is 22 and we've been trying for a year (excluding the 5 month break after we lost our baby). now for all of you who are preaching your judgement wait before you say she's to young. my fiance makes $80k a year. we are completely ready for a baby. I work 40 hours a week (for fun) and I'm getting promoted in 6 months and will make $30k a year. we have everything and more than we need. so for everyone who is saying stuff to this poor young lady please feel free to say sorry as none of you know her situation and she did not ask for judgment. thanks. and good luck honey!
i am also seventeen and had a miscarriage in november it wasnt a planned pregnancy but i wanted it so bad im no longer with the father for the reason y i had the miscarriage but i know am with a guy that is 24 works three jobs and side jobs on the weekend we are financily stable and i am out of highschool and starting college this summer my boyfriend has 2 houses and a welding/storage shop that he is selling i have no clue how much money he really makes i dont ask those kinds of questions just becouse i dont want to seem like im after his money but we have talked bout getting pregnant and we have both agreed that we would try but he will never cum i dont think that just becouse your young that you would b a bad parent ive been pregnant twice once when i was 15 and miscaried and miscaried again in november like i said the only thing that you need to make shure of being only 17 is that your healthy anofe go to the doctor and talk to he/she bout it if you doctor says anything bout your age instead of your health find a diffrent doctor no doctor should pass judgment on you neither should other people although plenty of people have already if anyone ever needs anything you may contact me even if its just to talk or need information or anything ill do what i can and i hope that anyone looking to get pregnant can and i pray for the teens and adults that think teenage pregnancy is the worst thing ever because one day it will catch up to you
I'm 17 too and I've been trying to get pregnant for 2 years with my boyfriend we never use condoms but I've charting for about 3 months n nothing has happened sall I want is to have a baby n all my friend are gettin pregnant and having abortions it upsets me so much all I want is to get pregnant
i dont think you should get pregnant at 17 yrs of age. at least wait till you finish school.
This is kind of stupid, i mean come one. ur what 17, 18 and u tried to get pregnant just to get out ur house!! am sorry to say this but anyone that does that or for anyother reason just so that they look cool and what ever n have to give up school there is somethin wrong with your heads. I will tell you now BRINGING UP A BABY IS HARD WORK!! Its not as simple as people make it out to be, its emotionally tying and finacially aswell. Think before you act. Go out have fun, go to party's, get drunk.....ENJOY YOUR LIFE coz when a baby comes along your stuffed if you want to enjoy yourself.
Im 18 and I think its stupid that at your age you actually want to get preggo! Im on here looking for symptoms for being pregnant because Im scared crapless about pregnancy and here I see that someone is TRYING to get pregnant and they are pretty much my age. The things going through my mind right now are not things I want to be thinking about. For example, If I get pregnant now will I be able to go to school, will I be able to even raise the kid?, what would my family think?, and you also have to think about if the father will stick around (and Im pretty sure youre going to look at this and say that he'll never leave and blahblah but even if he does love you, people change and at 17, when emotions are all over the place, its too soon to tell if its gonna be forever), and getting pregnant this young Im worried about the things Ill miss at my young age... there is plenty of time to think about children later on, right now you should be thinking about going out with your friends, dancing, partying, going to the beach and get a tan or something, go crazy! you only live once, and youre only young once, ENJOY YOURSELF! thats my advice.
WOW! :-) Lots of posts. Well, I had my first daughter at 16. It was REALLY difficult for me emotionally. We made it financially and physically. Buying and changing diaper isnt the hard part. The hard part is preparing yourself emotionally for a really real baby and watching your life go from selfish to selfless. Once you have a baby, you dont matter anymore. That baby is and always will be #1 in your life from then on. Anyway, ovulation is very important. There are home ovulation tests (same place you can find pregnancy tests) that will tell you either yes go have sex now or nope theres no point. :-) Or you could just do what I did and keep up the bedroom play everyday and as many times as you can untill you see two pink lines on the pee stick. Worst comes to worst, then its just not your time yet. Good luck!
Hi MrsWilliams86 it sounds like you went through quite an ordeal and I'm glad you posted on this because it sounds like you have a great deal of experience in this arena. How old was your husband or boyfriend when you first had your baby? I imagine it was quite difficult but it sounds like you made it. Please let me know and thanks for posting!
i ust want to say to the girl who is 17 and trying for a baby i dont think u are to young i am 20 i have a daughther she is 2 now i will say one thing it is really hard the sleepness nights i will make u argue will ur close ones but if its what u want then it wil happen it ust might take time. At this time i am also trying for another child as i want a big family and it has not worked for me and am really upset i think startin young is a good thing it then means when u have the job tht u want u wont be take time off as will have had most of kids people might not agree but they do have there own opinion do what u want not what others tell u good luck XD
when i was 16 i had got pregnant it was sort of hard i had thought it was easy i had no freedom now im 17 and evrey thing is working good and i tried to have another baby cuz we got our own house and we have enought money for 2 children but when i tried to i was not able to like u said you cant you have to see a doctor
i'm also 17 and my boyfriend and i have been together for almost a year, not really that long i know.. However we have been saving our money from part time work and we have been trying for a baby for about 3 months now and have failed many times... but we cant really dwell on it all we can really do is keep trying. if you feel you are financially ready to provide fr your child and your ready for that big commitment then go for it, as long as your really ready for it.. people say don't do it too young do this do that, travel and work because once you have kids you wont have a life.. well they're wrong.. you still have a life you just have restrictions because you have a kid.. who says you cant still travel and work? and the rest.. i say go for it :-) give it your all and i'm sure you will come through good luck to all of you out there trying for kids and hopefully this advice was good for you :-) x
