17! Hunnie, I'm not being a hypocrit
here... being a pregnant teen myself..
but It's my opinion that you should get
out there and really enjoy yourselves be
carefree and have fun, make sure
everything is in order and you have all
the means to care for a baby, then worry
about conceiving.
I'm sorry for what you went through, but
that's even more of a reason to prolong
this until your are emotionally stable to
deal with these type's of situations and
whatever else may come.

Your only young - enjoy your youth and
teenage years to the fullest before having
a baby!!! Trust me, I'm 30 and only now
just come to terms with the responsibility
of my girlfriend and I having a baby. Its
a wonderful thing but I did so many things
with my life at your age and had a great
time without any ties. What does the
father think of this? As being the father
of your child he should also have an
input! Is he also in his teens? Is he
'totally' ready to be a father? And when I
mean totally I mean he isn't going to
leave you carrying the baby?
Please think very carefully before
bringing a child into this world at your
age. I don't want to patronise you - its a
huge life changing event having a baby and
you won't be able to have the life that
your teenage friends have. There is plenty
of time to settle down and start a family,
and talking from experience it felt right
at 30 for me

I've moved this to .teen .pregnancy. I
think it's more appropriate here.
I'm curious why you're married and trying
to have a child at 17 years. I'm not going
to bash you for it, but .i'm honestly
curious. It seems quite young to me.
As for why you're not getting pregnant,
are you sure you're having sex during the
most fertile time of your cycle? You
mentioned having sex during your period,
which suggests to me that you're
unfamiliar with your own ovulation. You
should read the following sticky - it has
awesome information about how pregnancy
happens and when you are most fertile. http://

Good luck and keep us updated.

You said that you went to visit him on
your spring vaction. Do you not live
together? If you are only seeing him
occationally, that is probably why you
have not become pregnant. If his is not
living with you and not able to be there
for you, you may want to reconsider
delaying ttc until you are together.

are.. if your ready for that then good

I think she meant that because they can be
gone for long periods at a time for
training or deployment that you may be
alone during some time chunks. Making it
seem as though you are a single mom
because you do not necessarily have
someone in you home with hands on help.
(Not say that your dh will give help even
if he is in the home )
That is how I took it anyways.

at 17 arent you supose to still be in
school? its not easy or fun to be in
school when your pregnant
are you two really married or is it just
something you say, not trying to be rude,
i just know a lot of people who intoroduce
their boy/girl friend as their
hisband/wife
your period stopping after you have sex
does not mean you are pregnnat, it means
your period was done, to stop your period
the egg has to be fertalized then
implant...usualy takes around 10 to 14
days i believe, then you make the hormone
and everything and the hormone is what
makes your period stop, so it woulnd not
stop right away
if you really want to do this, talk to
your husband and see what he wants, if he
wants it too then you need to actively
try, that means sex and lots of it, not
just occasionally, and if your not living
together that will be difficult
also are you sure you want to do this now
if hes not with you all the time, its nice
when the father can come to the
appointments and be there for you and all
that
again not trying to be mean or rude, i
just dont want anyone to do anything that
they may regret later

Yeah i guess that can seem like a single
parent. But i am a single parent in every
meaning of the word...most military wives
don't work...or at least the ones i
know....so it's easier. But I dont' know
really. I am not a military wife.
