how to get pregnant.

Hey ladies, my partner has been wanting to start a family for a few weeks now. Iv been telling him no because im not sure if im ready. Doing some research and spending time with my nephews has made me grow into the idea of it. Problem is...i kind of want it to be a surprise for him. We use condoms or sometimes he'll pull out, i dont want to tell him to stop using protection because i want it to be a surprise for me to get pregnant. How do i do this? Would it be possible???

Hi there.  I'm not sure if it ever isn't a bit of a surprise when pregnancy happens.  We were trying and when I actually turned up pregnant ==  my husband was in a bit of shock!  It also is a great thing to TRY to conceive as a couple.  Makes you feel really close and bonded.  Good luck hon

I don't think it's a good idea to surprise a guy by getting pregnant,  even if he has verbalized that he wants to start a family.  

Planning to get pregnant should be a very very deliberate process,  with both partners actually trying to achieve a pregnancy.  

I'm a little surprised you changed your mind "within a few weeks" of not wanting children,  to deciding you are ready because you've been with your nephews.

Best advice I can think of - plan this a little longer in your head,  and then when you're ready,  tell him and you both can move on from there in an informed way.

All you have to do is read through these forums and see HOW MANY guys seem to want to start a family and then they get cold feet and are gone before the baby is born.

It's not impossible but it's definitely harder to get pregnant that way. I got pregnant from him pulling out and we didn't really even have sex often. I think if it's meant to be it will happen.

Some woman get pregnant off of precum..check your ovulation days which is 2wks after your period is when your MOST fertile days and most likely to get pregnant. I got pregnant right away when I tracked period. Hope this helps (: good luck!

Pretty impossible if you're using protection. Gonna have to tell him. Still can be a surprise because you'll never know when it could happen
