We cant answer forsure if you are pregnant or not, I would wait another couple days to take a test. You think this will make you and your boyfriend happy? Does he want this? Are you aware of the responsiblities a baby comes along with? If so, great! If not, I would reconsider this. Babys are expensive, and require all of your attention. It is life changing, and you must realize this! It is not fun and games like some young girls think. You have a lot of life to live still! Your only 17, what about finishing highschool and going off to college? I know everyone's opinion is different, but I will stress upon you to think this over again, realisticly. Good luck!

You shouldn't want a baby hun, you should want to be a mother. The child wont' be a baby forever hun. And then what? When you are 21 and instead of going out for your birthday.....You are chasing a crying 4 year old all over your place while she is squirting chocolate syrup all over your new furniture?

Lol...Good way to put it heather. Makes me think...Ill be 21 in may, and instead of going out to the bar and doing my thing I will be home instead with a 2 month old. I dont resent her for this though, I know I wont have a problem doing this! Its just...When I hear other girls saying they want to have a baby so young, on purpose, it drives me crazy! Because they still have the ability to enjoy life like you are supposed to!

im 17, I wanted too be pregnant for ages and ages, but I never once came off the pill or stopped using a condom, because I wanted too finish college. Im 6 months pregnant now, dropped out of college, and cant ge a job. Trust me, you have alot too think about. I dont regret being pregnant, because I did want it.

Another thing is, I used too miss my periods, and my doctor said something about your body reacting too how you are thinking. If you want a baby, too be pregnant, so bad, it could interfere with your monthly cycle.
I would suggest that you think lots about what situation you are in, and whether it suitable too raise a child.

If you are pregnant, good luck. You will need it. I thought being pregnant would be fun, but its quite the opposite. Exept for those lucky people.

Being pregnant is a wonderful experience, however I think you would enjoy it more if you waited to finish school so that you are stable. You dont want to be stressed while being pregnant. Personally, wanting a baby just because you to is selfish in my eyes.

I did not say you, personally are selfish. I said..In my eyes, when someone says that they want a baby just because they want one, is selfish. They are only thinking about themselves, not the innocent life they are bringing into the world.

I thought I wanted a baby when I was younger too and when I had miscarriages at the ages of 16 & then 19 I was devastated. Now at 25 I am 9 weeks preggo and am soooooooooo happy I waited. I have a man who I love and treats me like a princess (most of the time-lol) we have been living together for 3 years. Instead of being with a guy because I thought I loved him. I finished school and got a business degree, I have my own a home 9well I rent but it's mine) with a backyard I have a great job where I get 1 year maternity leave. Also my family is very supportive since i'm not a kid everyone wants to help. My partying days are over and done with, especially since in mopntreal u only have to be 18 for bars and things. Babies are cute beautifull things but remember they cry and barf and ruin your house!!!!! Your life will never be the same again. You will have to be prepared to take care of someone for the rest of your life. Please all the young girls out there think about this very carefully before rushing into anything!!!!

Sorry this was so long but.......
