Ok im not going to say anything about u trying to get pregnant cuz that would be hypocrytical if u get me. My fried has had unprotected sex like everytime in hopes of getting pregnant but its still hasnt happened. Its different for eveyone and since idont see a doctor giving u ne thing to help all I can say is have lots of sex often. Lol. Its your body and your choice so best of luck.

Well first off im so glad your not one of those girls who sleeps around to get pregnant im glad your in a good relationship!! Im engaged im a jr. In high school here in indiana I turn 18 in june so like 6 months from now!! Me and my fiance hve been together since I was 14 almost 15 so its been 3 yrs in march we have been trying to have our baby courney or alex!!! For over a year now and nothing has happend but I did see an ad for ovulex on the internet the website is ovulex. Com well I have been taking it for about 1 month and mt period is now 2 weeks late and yestreday I was bleeding but it wasnt a normal period it was just rosie pink and thats it and it was only there when I wiped for about an hour then it went away then came back about 3 hours laterand my boobs are really sore it even hurts to hug people so I think I am im waiting a couple weeks to take a test so I wont waste my money if its negative but im not going to put you down for anything im in the same shoes as you hun!! If you think your ready your ready if your not then you will just find out later in life !! We learn by are mistakes !!!!! Have a great day let me know whats going on if you are soon!!!!! God bless you hun!!!

First off, is the choice a mutual thing between you and your bf? How old is he? Do you have the financial resources? I would say that if it is mutual and if you are financially stable and you're both ready for parenthood, talk to your Dr. About getting pregnant. I still think that you should wait just a little bit, you're 17, if you live in the states, i'm sure that you don't have the kind of job that could support a child, but then again, I don't know what your bf does. Make sure that you are ready to be with him for the rest of your life, it's not a joke. One of the lamest things that my parents did to me was get a divorce. I really hope that you know what you're getting into, for your sake and for your baby's sake. Best of luck, whether or not you do get pregnant.

Look,
comming from a person whos been there and done that I dont think its a good idea. I was with the guy that was saposto be my sons father for 4 1/2 years and we tryed to get pregnant and didnt and when I did wen the 5th year came he left me. Ok more like cheated on me and ended up contracting herpes. I left him and seeked confert from a friend and me and my friend ended up to gether and I got pregnant.
With this second baby I never planned it b cuz I knew I wasnt ready. I knew the father wasnt going to be there but I dont belive in killing an baby. Look all I am trying to say is read into the relshionship b4 you make a dissigion like that b cuz there is no garntee that hes going to be there for you when you do get pregnant. A baby changes everything.
By the way that boyfriend I was with for 5 years he in jail every week and my babys father calls me and has only seen his son 3-4 times. The sad part about the whole thing is that my son will never know who he is.
As for my pregnancy it is hell and I am alone all by my self. I dont have no body. Every now and the my mom helps and takes my son. But some times I have to pull an all nighter to study for test and make sure I can pervided for my son.



Just look into things b 4 u deside to take that step.
I watch mury every day and know what those girls are going through
b cuz I was there.

if I had been tied together forever by a child with the person I was in love with at 17, I would have never met my husband, the actual love of my life, and my soulmate. It's so easy to live for the moment when you're 17 that you lose sight of the world around you and the fact that things change and people change when you get older. It's so easy to forget that this is not necessarily the best it will ever be and that he isn't the only other person in the world.

I was so in love with jonathan when I was 17 that I ached to be with him, to be near him all the time, and yes, to have his children. But i'm so glad that I didn't. When I met and fell in love with my husband, I felt as though I had never actually loved anyone this entirely before. It was a different kind of love, more intense and deeper. It was worth waiting to meet him and get to know him.
does your boyfriend know? Have you told him what you're planning? How does he feel about becomming a father now?
there's more to being a mother than giving birth, playing with the baby, and dressing it up in cute clothes. There are nights of absolutely no sleep, no showers, and little food while the child screams in agony while teething, collicking, or when sick. Nothing can prepare you for that unless you've already been there. There are cancelled dates and other fun things because the baby got sick and you have to stay at home and nurse it back to health. There are limited educational opportunities because you have to work to keep a roof overhead, pay for food, and pay for daycare. There are less material comforts because the baby's needs come first and when you have to empty your meager savings account to pay for $300 ear drop medications, you start to feel like enough is enough. There is the constant worry of how good a mother you actually are when you compare yourself to older women who may have more education and better jobs to provide for their families. There is the constant guilt that your best just isn't good enough. And, there is the constant struggle to survive.

It would have been the biggest mistake of my life to become pregnant at 17 and stayed with jonathan. It may not be for yours but you're so young that you don't have the ability to look back on things and really see what they mean. My best advice, no matter how ready you think you are, is to put off pregnancy for a while, finish school, go to college or get some sort of training, get a job, get some health insurance, and then see how you feel about becomming a mother. Give it some time so that the shock is not so great and so you can truly provide more for your family than basic survival. Best of luck.
Peace,

Look...Do what you want, but really think about it! Im pregnant,n ilove my boyfriend to death but when I found out I was pregnant I was havin second thoughts n I wanted to have a baby at a young age to but im tell you its probally better to wait I wish I would have been more careful...I work in a daycare with infants and it gets kinda stressfull hearing a baby cry 8 hours a day now imagine living with one...If you like babies that much try working at a daycare or babysit on weekends...After all if you have a baby, ur job will be 24/7!

Well its me again, my period just officially went off and I plan to take a ovulation test in a week to find the perfect day that I ovulate. Wish me the best of luck and plz believe me, even though I am young I know what I am getting myself into.

Doesnt matter what age you are are when you have a kid it comes with resposibility, although it nice to have help from the the father its not always possible but its still possible to do it yourself. People sit there and say what if ur kids gets sick yeah my daughter got sick and there are nights of no sleep but they are not that often the first three months ur on lack of sleep even if u sleep 12 hrs its not consecutive sleep.

Raising a kid isnt that hard there will be days where your at a loss of patience but it is not everyday like ppl try and portray it as for ttc wish you luck!!! Just remeber a child has positives and negatives just like everything else in life dont let ppl judge im prego with #2 and there are days im scared but in the end I know ill manage just like every other mother does.

I undersand what you mean me and my love have been together almost 9months. His best freind got his gf pregnant, and well mine to wonted a kid. My bf is 23 years old and I am 17, so we started kinda trying to have a baby. I am not almost 5months preganat. Me and love are happy and all, but its not easy being pregnant at a young age. I got kicked out of school, I cant get a job, I have been badly sick and cant gain any weight, im tired all the time and from some reason I cry alot. But I wonted this and I will soon have a beautiful baby to love and hold. As for my bf beast friend his gf had her baby girl 2 weeks ago.

Just make sure this is what you wont, theres no going back. And it can get alot wrose then what it had been for me.

I am not trying to judge, lecture... This is just a personal opinion.
I'm 20 and is expecting my first baby boy in feb. Even at this age, I feel that I am way too young to be having this baby. First of all, you have to realize that your social life is going down the drain. You are 17, you have hardly started the whole party thing yet. And believe it or not... You will miss it. Childhood and youth is something that you cannot get back. You can have a baby... In 2 years.. 5 years and it would make hardly any difference. But there is only one chance for you to be a teenager. Grasp it and please treasure it. There is nothing worst then regret.
Another is finance. You might think this is not a big deal, but trust me it is. I am a restaurant manager, and my fiance is a technical director. We are both making pretty decent money, however money is still tight.

All I am trying to say is, please think this through carefully, and believe it or not, talk to your parents, they are right most of the time.

I think you should wait just a little longer. It's normal to feel your biological clock ticking at 17 but I don't think you should answer the call of motherhood just yet. Every 17 year old thinks they know everything and are ready to grow up and be an adult and they want to do everything right now. I was no different but you change so much over the next two or three years. I'm 20 now and I can look back on seventeen with a giggle.

I wish I could tell you something inciteful to change your mind, but I know it probably won't do any good. I was in your situation mostly and I have a child now. Do I regret it? Not even close. But I will you tell that it's going to be completely different then you expected.

I guess i'd say just be prepared for if things don't go according to your plan because you can't see the future, nobody can. And despite best wishes, things usually don't work out for most teen parents. They don't get the support they thought they might. They don't have the families they thought they would. The father doesn't act like they thought he would or like he did before you got pregnant. Unless you're alright and prepared (financially, emotionally, physically) for the possibility of being a single mother I wouldn't be ttcing just yet.

I know that I am not here to make your decisions for you but ...You are making the wrong decision....I thought getting pregnant would always be great...I was pregnant at 17 and now I am 18 with a 5 month old....It is very hard having a child....I promise you that you need to have fun while you can ...And stop thinking about being married ...You can wait...On both...But whatever decision you make is your own ..Just telling you from experience...Having a baby will not keep you and the guy you are with together....If thats why you want to do this.... :wink:

You havent gotten pregnant for a reason.

Think smart..

Hi... All I want to say is have fun dont think about getting pregnant. Thats how it always happens. Good luck!!!!

This...I will never understand. I understand mistakes, but why would you ttc at such a young age. You have so much more of life to live, but of course, you will not realize this, until you have had a baby and can not do the things others your age can do.

I am 21 years old, and it is very hard for me. I think you should wait. You deserve it! Anyway, good luck, eitherway

I want to be supportive, but I have to say something...
Pregnant at seventeen? I know that by the time i'm seventeen, i'll have a toddler, but I didn't ask for it. I wanted to go to college and get married and get a job and travel. Don't you want all of that for yourself? Don't wish your life away! You're clock is not yet ticking! :)

Hmmm... Ok sweetie I can understand where you are coming from I loved and still do love the father of my baby and I "thought" we would be together forever too... But i'm 5 months pregnant now after trying for this and we figured out when I was 10 weeks that we wreent working out. I'm lucky cause he still is around and wants to help me but i'll be 17 in 9 days and I sorta wish I would have waited untill I was sure on everything.
We had disscussed it so many times and we were sure that this is what we wanted that we loved each other and we wanted something made from our love for each other and thats al good but theres a time for everything. I can't say that you are crazy for doing this cause I did do the same thing but just give it more thought me and m boyfriend were together for 4 years and having a baby opens your eyes to alot more things. And like I said ... Im lucky my babys father did and still does want this baby we just cant make things work relashonship wise with us but we are best of friends. Some guys arent that " right in the head " lol
do what you think will make you happy tho girl and if you have really thought it over and given it good consideration then I wish the best for you
