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.

already be pregnant but im not sure just
alot of pain in my stomach and nausea and
increased appetite and tired. But if not
me n him have been using the pull out
method for 4 years and still havent go
pregnant so that mean hes really good at

or him???

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
