I'm 17, and my boyfriend turned 18 last month. We decided to start trying for a baby a year ago. But I wanted to wait till May 07 to come off the pill. So we've been trying just over 6 months. I came off the pill on the 8th May 07, but I'm not obsessing because it will happen when it happens. I know we aren't rushing into anything because when we first started going out and having sex I really wanted a baby (we where 15) but I didn't try to get pregnant because I thought it would be too soon. We live together because his Mum moved in with her boyfriend a year ago so I went and stayed there.
I'm 18 next year so if I do get pregnant I'll be 18-19. I just thought I'd join here because it seems like a very nice forum and nobody judges like they do on other forums I've been on. Also I don't really have anybody to talk to about TTC because we haven't told anybody because it will cause stress as I'm a worrier!!
I thought I had a miscarriage in September, and went to the Doctors today and he said it 'can' be normal to happen. I didn't think I was pregnant, I just had the little signs (sore boob etc etc that I hadn't gotten before) and then when I got my period over 2 weeks late it was very clotted and had pieces in it that looked like large clumps of liver (sorry if it's TMI).
Yeah it is really common to miscarry your first pregnancy, i had one when i was 18 and it was awful but ive gone on to have beautiful daughter who is now 4 and im expecting a little boy in a wks time!!
We tried for about 8 months for this one and i honestly thought it would never happen, infact i had given up trying, and then i fell pregnant!!
So just have fun, it will happen, it might take a while but it will. Dont let it eat you up, your only young and have plenty time.

The main thing is not to stress about it, because I certainly dont think that will help. Just have fun and take it at your own pace, you've got plenty of time, although it probably is frustrating.
I dont think anyone on here will judge you. If you feel youre ready to have a baby then thats brilliant and Im really happy for you You sound very mature for your age (my brothers 18 and acts like a 4 year old!)
Got my fingers crossed for you's!

hi. me and my partner started trying in august 04. i was 17 and he was 20. it took us 9months and i fell pregnant in may 05. i miscarried 2 days later.
so we started trying straight away and it took us 2 years to concieve again. i found out i was pregnant may 07.
best advise is try not to worry or stress about it. i did each month and nothing happened... then we practically gave up and it happened!
i always think tho i lost the first baby for a reason... now we have a brand new house and car and are alot better off.
feel free to PM me anytime.
Good luck with ttc.

Hey hun! I got pregnant with my first at 17 (wasn't trying to) and had her just before I turned 18. Now I'm 20, and it took me and my husband 7 cycles (8 months) to get pregnant again this time! When we finally did get pregnant again, it was because he decided we were going to stop "trying" and relax about it. First month not doing OPKs and tracking my cycle and we're pregnant! Just RELAX! Have FUN! Sockingly, my husband was right for once lol!
