okay, so my fiance' and I are wanting to have a baby. I am 16 and he is 18, but in my family, that is normal to have a baby this young. We have been trying for probably 5 months now. I haven't had a period for what seem like eternity, probably a month, month and a half. I haven't had much of what would be "pregnancy symptoms". I however have been a little more moody than normal, i've been having like crazy back pain, and i've been peeing a little more often. I have random burst of naueousness, i lose my appitete real easyily, and i crave things but i never know what i'm craving. I took a pregnancy test maybe a week ago and it was negative. So I wen ton trying to concieve. Any advice? and please do not comment on my age, I know the lecture on being young and having a baby and starting a life. Just please, advice on TTC?

I don't think we are supposed to advise you because you are under 18. Sorry and best of luck.

I was not aware of medhelp terms for minors. I recall my message.

There is absolutely no scientific proof that elevating your butt up in the air will help you get pregnant.

Im sorry im really not here to judge...but really dont think we should be giving a 16 yr old advice on getting pregnant or giving her advice on sexual positons. I had my daughter at 19 and that was a struggle financially and emotionally. Maybe hunny if you really want to get pregnant or you think your pregnant get help from a dr.  This is not our place to help a baby to have a baby. Good luck to you sweety and hope you get the help you need.

I'm very sorry, but as you're a minor and not legally of age we are not allowed to tell you how to conceive. If this is really something you want library's, a doctor, or family can advise you on what to do.

It is against medhelp's terms of service to offer a minor advice on getting pregnant.

Just to let you know that even though your parents may be ok with everything...you are underage and he is an adult. If you conceive before marriage it is possible for him to get in really big trouble regardless of what your family tells the authorities. If i were you I would wait until you are married to try to get pregnant. In KY your parents can sign for you to marry him...I was married in catlettesburg, ky 14 years ago under similar circumstances.

I might have to try using a wall. And the way I look at it, i want to have a baby before I'm even early 20's, I've gone thru some things in my life that are the reason for wanting to have a family so young. I've done reaserch online, but nothing helps better than hearing other persons experiences.

Just propped up my legs and butt up onto the wall and I like put weight on my shoulders kinda. I don't really know how to explain it better. My husband and I started ttc in october and got pregnant the end of november.

I'm not going to lecture I wanted a baby from a young age. I'm now 21 and pregnant with my second. All I will say is please re think. I regret not bioing so many things and I was a completely different person at 16.  Sometimes I wish I could just be responsible for just me ans enjoy my life with no worries. I lovemy babies and dont regret having them but I do regret niot having more fun when I was young. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I think the biggest thing that helped my husband and I is we completely stopped trying and just had fun and stopped worrying about just getting pregnant. Also instead of just propping my butt up with a pillow I used the wall. Kind of just like propped myself up that way or laid on the couch/bed hanging upside down for 10-20 minutes.

I understand, I get A lot of grief. I believe though it is my choice. And thanks, and I tend to prop my hips during during and after sex. Not sur eif doing both helps, but I do

well if you don't get your period in 2 weeks I would go to the doctor for a blood test, for some reason some women have a hard time getting a positive on a urine test.....
I don't have to much advice for ttc, just pay attention to your body and try to have sex when you ovulate...it can take  a perfectly healthy couple up to 2 years to conceive ... also after sex prop your hips up on a pillow for 15 minutes it give the sperm a better chance to swim to where it needs to be...
Good luck, be forewarned that you may get some grief about your age but for the most part we try not to be judgmental
