Welcome to .ehealth!

My name is .christy I'm 21 and currently ttc our 1st.

I think you should be honest. Just come right out and tell him you are ready to start a family. Are you to married? Or engaged? Do you live together?

Honestly, I make more than he does and my dh makes much more than I do, and we will be struggling once a little one comes along. So, you really should sit down and do all the math and make sure you are financially ready.

Hi welcome to ehealth!!!

My name is gabby and i am 23 (next month) currently ttc #1 also.

I think that if you are ready to be a mom you should talk it out with ur partner. Having a baby is such a responsibility and i agree that you should do the math. But if you decided that u are ready then you should talk to urpartner and let him know exactly how you feel. Good luck!

Let us know what the out come is so you can be in the club here with the us ttc girls.

ttc means trying to conceive. Well I think that after that long of using the pull out method, it is a possibility that he is really good at it because my sister did not want to get on birth control after she had my niece and she is 5 yrs old. All of this years they have been on the pull out method and it has worked so maybe it has just worked for you. But if you want to have a baby, you should try for a few months then if u notice that nothing is happening then i would recommend that u see a dr just to make sure nothing is wrong. They say that it takes a healthy couple at least a year to have a baby so after you have a year trying then i would worry. I am going on 11 months trying and nothing so this month of June i am off the dr cause i am desperate to be a mommy already. Well good luck and keep us updated.

I would say that if you have been using the 'pull and pray' method and have not yet become pregnant that you are a lucky pair. And your luck will eventually run out.

If you are seriously considering ttc (trying to conceive) you need to consult a doctor first. They'll do a blood work-up and a pap and give you the go ahead. They will also give you a rx for prenatal vitamins that you need to start taking right away. (you can buy them over the counter as well) I wish you luck! Stay around, this is a really great and supportive group of ladies. Keep us posted
