[i_want_a_baby]

hi my name is leighanne and i want a baby really bad. I am 17 and i live with my boyfriend who soon to be my husband. We been trying for a baby for a while what could be possibly wrong if i cant get pregnant? He nuts in me bout 2x a week. I heard if you have sex on your period than its a best chance of getting pregnant!! Is that true? Can you tell me what to do and i do it i just want my own baby?
    Another thing what are other option if i cant have a baby beside adoption? what could be posibly keeping m,e from getting pregnant? if a guy get hit in the nuts could that keep him from getting me pregnant?

                    Thanks,
   Leighanne Bagwell

I'm very moved by your plea to get pregnant, but I'm wondering why you want a baby at your age. Have you thought about the responsibility involved, the energy required, as well as the level of maturity? I hope so.

However, from your questions, I deduct that you are extremely misinformed about many facts. Since there isn't enough space here to give you all the information you need, I recommend you:

1) read this MedHelp information on adolescent pregnancy:

2) read this information regarding how fertilization and pregnancy occurs:

And this on issues for teenagers who wish to become pregnant:

The more you know, the more informed your choice will be. Good luck to you. Dr. J

hunny you do not want a child right now, believe me, i always wanted a baby but when it comes, omg is it work, ALOT more than you would expect, and very tiring!! Plus being younger your more likeley to suffer from post partum depression!! Do you even have money ahead, these babies cost so much, exspecially if your not breastfeeding!!....buy a pump if your not comfy...think of the little things in life and see if your emotionally ready for this. I know everybody is differerent, but you have to understand, life simply turns another page, they are a joy to have and be around but some days its a big rollercoaster! like lala said get married first and enjoy life and vacation and go places you wouldnt be able to take a baby!!

Learn to spell it before doing it (Pregnancy, there is no T). You're 17! Get an education, get married, then have that baby. Once you're ready, really ready, if you don't get pregnant the natural way try calling a fertility clinic.
