My partner and I have been trying for a
baby since the second I turned 16. I'm
now nearly 18 and i'm stil not pregnant.
I read somewhere that some miscarriages
can happen so soon that they can be
mistaken for a period. Does anyone know
if this is most likely for someone of my
age. There have been a couple of times
when I have got my hopes up in the past
couple of years because i've been sick or
late.
If anyone has any ideas on how we can
improve our chances please let me know
because we're both really looking forward
to starting a family.
Thanks in advance

If you have been trying for 2 years I
think it may be time to head to the
doctors.
Make sure you are eating a ballanced diet
and time your mass poking sessions for
when you are ovulating. Any other time is
pretty much useless!
You can get calenders that help you get
the timing right, there are also kits you
can buy that test certain things in
urine.
Or failing all of that.. Maybe its your
bodys way of saying.. Not yet.
But best of luck.

well I havn't been
trying but the last 2 years I have not
been on b/c and my b/f and I did not use
protection, although are relationship was
off and on, I am 19 now and when we least
exspected it I got pregnant.. So I think
that it will happen when it's meant to
be.. Also have you tryed ovulating kits..

Hey Girls Posted: 05-22-05 13:00pm
Im 18 and have been trying for a baby for
14 months I had a son when I was 16 but he
was stillborn I have also had 2
miscarriages b4 I started trying ive had
one since and I did get checked out and I
have endometriosis my chances are slim but
I am still hopefull I know plenty of ppl
who've tried for 2-5 years and when they
least expected it they concieved. Maybe
you should get checked out if nothings
wrong then maybe just give it time.
I hope everything goes well.
Goodluck

Hi there! Going to the Dr. Is a great
idea as long as you both get checked out
but stress can cause a problem if you are
trying to concieve also, so relax, enjoy,
go to a spa, try something different and
adventurous that will relax you more.
Good luck!
Keep us posted.
Sincerely,
sandy

18 And Trying Too! Posted: 06-02-05 01:50am
I am also 18, and have been ttc. I have
talked to my bf about this, and he wants
to, but he never wants to talk about it!
Can you provide any advice about how I can
get his attention other than just catching
him offguard and being like, "hunny, i'm
pregnant!"? I have this desire inside of
me to carry life, and to be a mother, even
though I am young, I know that this is
something that I can do. It is so strong,
that it consumes 85% of my thoughts in the
day, even when I am at work! Does anyone
have any suggestions for me? Please help!

I agree with aksara.
If you are trying for 2 years without
success its time you head towards a
doctor's clinic for a thorough check-up of
both yourself and your partner to detect
the exact cause of your failure to
conceive.

It could just not be your time. I had
previous miscarriages at age 16 and 19.
Now i've been with the same guy since I
was 21 (i am almost 26)- and we had
unprotected sex from almost the begining
and nothing! I figured something was
wrong with one of us but now am due to
give birth in about 3 weeks. It was
finally our time!
You could go to a doc's if you want but
you also started trying while you were
very young and maybe it was god's way of
saying "chill out girl and wait."
good luck.

Hi There Ladies Posted: 06-02-05 06:58am
I have been ttc for about 15 with success
and I think to many ppl are to eager to
soon to go to docs as soon as they dont
fall pregnant. My fiance and I are due
to be married next year and im 26. We
decided to seek a fertility specialist
help of another kind and are trying the
natural methods. In other words the doc
we are seeing is a herbalist and before I
went to see her I could have sworn I was
infertile, but she has helped me get
regular as my periods were way out and I
had also tried ovulation calendars and
they were all wrong as to when I was
ovulating. We have had to stop trying as
my fiance broke his leg and has had
surgery and everything like that but as
soon as we can we are going to continue.
My advice to you is to answer the
following questions and then decided what
to do.
1. Do I really want a baby
2. Do I understand what my cycle is
really like and do I know when I ovulate
(not just assume its the middle of the
cycle as this is not always the case)
3. How stressful is my life since I began
ttc to before I ttc (stress is the biggest
factor in not getting pregnant)
from someone who cant wait to have a jelly
bean all of their own
