How Can I Get Pregnant?
Posted: 01-26-06 13:33pm

I am 17 years old and I know that I am financially stable and ready to have a baby. I have never tried to get pregnant before but my boyfriend and I am ready. I never thought that no one 17 could possibly be ready to have kids but if you are ready then I say go for it. I am going to start trying next month. By the time I have my baby I will be 18 and ready to get my own apartment to support my family. Please give me advice if you think I am making a good decision or if you think that I am throwing my life away.

how can you get pregnant????? Sorry that's a funny question. If you are ready then you are ready. 17 is young I have to say, but hey it's up to you. I'm 21 and my husband and I just decided to stop the birth control, so i'm getting ready too. I think i'm young but I also think we are ready for this. At 17 I would never have dreamed of having a baby, only because I wouldn't be able to give it everything it deserved at that point in my life, but now i'm financially stable, with a good job, healthy, and a family of my own. Like I said, it's up to you and your boyfriend to decide. Just think of what your baby is going to need.

You go with your heart, what we say shouldn't matter. No one on here knows you or knows how good of a mother you would be. I had my son at 19, and am preg with #2 (i'm 22). I am married, but if you have support you will be okay. Age isn't a factor, maturity is. If you are ready then do. If you have doubts wait a little while. But to answer you question. If you have a 28 day cycle, from the first day of your period until another period starts, you will most likely ovulate on the 14th day of your cycle. Your most fertile days would be the 12th, 13th, and 14th days of your cycle. Good luck on whatever you decide.

If you and your bf are ready to have a bubba then go for it just make sure you have support and things for your baby, also remember that parenting can be difficult it doesn;t matter whether you're 17 or 37. I hope all goes well for you.:)

Alll I can say is think long and hard if your really ready to have a baby before trying.

My name is kisha I am 17 years old and 24 weks pregnant. I will be 18 just after she is born.

Me and my bf though we wer ready to have kids, but since I got pregnant alot of things have happend and we are now stuck living with his parents.

Things have been so vary stressful and hard to get through. Im starting to think we should have waited a bit longer to have kids.

But it was not a mistake and im still vary happy.

All im saying is think long and hard cuz anything can happen at such a younge age to make it hard to rase a child

i have so many prepole thinging I cant do it and that I should go to a pregnancy shelter. Really all there doing is streeing me out more, and its really starting to piss me off. I never thought I would have so many prople on my a$$.

But after you think long and hard about it and you and your bf still want to try at this age I say go for it and dont let anyone stand in your way.

I cant wait tell my little girl is born and I can holder in my arms.

Me and my boyfriend thought about it and we still want to go through with it. I really thank you all for being so supportive and not getting all on my back, like most people would do. Yall are going to make good parents one day and your child will feel he/she can talk to you about anything. Well my last period was on the 6th and it ended fully on the 13th. Now I once was told that you count 14 days from the end of you period and that when you ovulate. Is that true??? My cycle is about 30 to 31 days. So when do you suggest I should try???? I want to make it right the first time so I won't be disappointed. Please help me out.

You have to go with your heart and some common sense.

I planned my pregnancy at 18 and my son is now 13 months old. It's happened pretty much like I planned/hoped it would.

Realize that everything changes and can change though. You have to give up a lot (at least for a while) to have a child. So if you have a good job and want to go to college right away, that's not going to happen if you have a baby because you'll have to stay home for a while.

Other then that, good luck.

you count the first day of bleeding as day 1, so the 6th would have been day 1 of your cycle.

Your most fertile days will be days 12-18during your cycle (so that would be the 18th -24th...If your period started on the 6th). This means that between the 12th and 18th day of your cycle, you are going to ovulate.The best time to have intercourse in order to improve chances of conception would be from days 10-18 (so that would be the 16th-24th). This is because the male sperm will survive for up to 72 hours once released. So to have a fair chance at conceiving should you ovulate on the 12th day of your cycle, you should start having intercourse from day 10, instead of day 12.

This is all based on a 28 day cycle, but yours shouldn't be alot different. Maybe just keep going a little long...

If this didn't help, I got my info from:
http://www.Pregnanc y-info.Net/ovulation.Html
so you can check it out there, they probably do a better job of explaining better than I do

Ok I think I am going to wait until the last day of my next period. Because if the information that the other girl gave me is true then my ovulation period has passed. My period should come on any day now so I think I am going to wait.

You have the best chance when you're ovulating (right before your period) or right after your period. I, however, only had to have sex three times, and now i'm getting two little bundles of joy! :)
