I think i might be pregnant
Hey, im 18 years old, me and my bf have been tryin to have a baby awhile.... and we always get to the point where i think i could be pregnant, but i always start my period... i did have my period around the 2nd weekend of october...and we've tried like every day after that... neways.. i havent been feeling the same.. (but then again it could bc im gona start my period) but i went on the internet so see the symptoms, and i for a week now, i have been feeling like gettin sick, i havent yet, but i feel like it and everytime i eat, i feel like gettin sick,...but im always hungry... and ive never been this way. i've been goin to the bathroom like crazy like every 5-10 minutes. i've been so tired lately that im too tired and i cant sleep. my breast dont feel tender or ntohing..they feel al little bigger. and im worring myself, bc i want to be...but im just wondering what the possiblies could be. last month i went to the dr bc i was spotten for a few days, and he told me that some females bleed to bleed... and then i started my period. i have not yet started my period, but iheard that you can still be on your period but still be pregnant. is that true. do you think its nothing. or what should i do...!thank you for listening to me
okeedokee, your all set then. back to your origional post, it doesnt sound as if you are pregnant(based upon what you said).
youre time will come..dont worry. how does that saying go..expect it when you least expect it!

And princess, if you actually have to pee every 5-10 minutes, then you may have some other troubles, like an std or an infection, I am not saying that to be mean, maybe you are exaggerating, but if you are going that often i would check that out with a doc.
It sounds like you are having major wishful thinking-if your period was the second weekend of October and you have been having these pregnancy symptoms for a week, you have had symptoms since ovulation, the time you could have gotten pregnant?? There is never a perfect time to have a baby, but you may want to rethink this. Is your boyfriend also 18, and he already has a baby with someone else? Please, for your unborn baby, think hard about what you are trying to accomplish. I can't imagine having children with my boyfriend when i was 18! Good luck no matter what!
i understand what your saying.... but we're not gona have time for ourselves bc he already has a baby... and we want one from us.... and we're both mature enough to handle another one...
Like kjsk, I wanted a baby early. I married my husband 5 days after I turned 18, he was 20. We started TTC immediately and within 6 months I was pregnant. Having children was who I was. Who I am. I always knew that this was like my reason for being on this Earth if that makes sense..
I was so scared, when I was young, that I would not be able to fulfill my destiny of being a mother and wanted instant gratification. I got it. LOL
Life was hard, mainly financially. But we always made it work. My husband and I were so in sync with parenting and continued to have the large family we both wanted so much. After baby #5, it was time for a vasectomy. LOL I know most are thinking OMG 5!!! This girl is NUTS. But the truth is, after each of our children was born we felt so strongly that we weren't done. We KNEW that #5 had to come. And when she did, we both felt the circle was now closed. The puzzle was complete.
We spent our young, fun years having babies and paying bills when all of our old friends were out partying. It was VERY hard! And VERY worth every difficult moment. I had to wait until they were all in school before I could further my education since I had only graduated from High School. And let me tell you, going to college in your 30's is NO walk in the park! All those 19, 20 year olds partying and having a blast. Me studying my tail off and hurrying home to meet the bus and make dinner and help them with their homework and get them a bath and to bed before I could take a breath and start on my own homework. Now my oldest will be graduating High School next year and going away to college in NY. She knows how hard it was, she saw the struggles, and the many sacrifices we made for all of our children and she has chosen to take kjsk's route. To go to college, have fun, not be in a hurry to be a mommy. I honestly believe that it is 6 of on and half a dozen of another. I really wasn't and am still not the type to have children later in life. I am glad I did it the way I did. When my youngest turns 18, I will be 43. That is when we get our chance to go to the Bahama's and out to dinner every weekend, and hopefully enjoy grandchildren. I guess it's just an individual choice and path taken in life. And I think kjsk even pointed out that it's tough doing it when you're older too. It's gonna be tough, there is NO way around that. But no matter what, or when it is TOTALLY worth EVERY single bit of trial and tribulation! So good luck to everyone along the way, no matter how old you are!

and i agree that mostly likely i have nothing to worry about bc my signs are probably signs that im gona start my period..jus twanted to make sure. get some advice
well to be honest... we're both ready to have children. its what we both want. may not be the smartest decision to make right now. yea it probably soon to tell. but i dont think that im pregnant to the point where my body is playing tricks on me. i was just curious. but i just wanted some advice.... i mean i dont kno what it feels like to be pg.. all i kno is i feel different. but thank you for responding.
i know you want a baby and so did i w/my guy at 18 and even until i was in my early 20's. we were not married yet or engaged but i wanted a baby more than anything. we did get married, i was 26 and he was 29 and guess what???? i did not want a baby at that time. i wanted to share in the marriage, learn more about our new lives together, go on trips to bahamas (which we did every year) go out to eat every weekend, just the 2 of us. i loved coming home (to a nice quiet home) and tend to each other. we came and went as we pleased. then at age 33, while in mexico, i got pregnant. it was unexpected. i was scared!!! and thats at 33 if ya can believe that! your lives will be forever changed and you NEED to work at the marriage a LOT. i am not saying YOU particulary are immature but at age 18 there is still sooo much learning, growing to do.
believe me, marriage is hard and when you add a baby to it, it can be harder financially, emotionally. my husband and i dated for about 8 yrs, engaged for about 3yrs, married about 6ys and had our daughter (who will be 4ys. this dec.). we both have good jobs but things are still tough. we hardly see each other and its ALL about our daughter...she come first. we have lost ourselves in the process. you may want to wait a bit? i dont know, its different for everyone!! this is just my OWN experience.
i just wanted to give you a "heads up" because like i said, i very much wanted a baby at 18 and im happy i waited. things come up that you arent even aware of but only through experience you become more aware. sometimes young girls like yourself feel that a baby can enhance a relationship, make it stronger, have someone who will love you unconditionally. while sometimes that does happen...most of the time it doesnt. just think about it all ok???

people shouldnt judge people all the time on what they want its there own choice and there gunna do it anyway and thats there bussiness
who is judging? no one here has judged. the others simply asked a question..why would you want to have a baby so young? and i simply gave her my OWN experience. yes, people are going to live their life but offering experiences can make them think things over a bit.
Don't think we're going to come down on you or anything. You're 18 and a grown adult capable of making her own decisions. We'd just like to know the situation behind the decision of trying for a child at 18.
"jluhart - If you don't mind me asking, why are you and your boyfriend trying to have a baby so young?"
I wasn't going to ask that but I'm curious too.

I would not use symptoms to tell if you are pregnant. It happens all the time that women trick their body into thinking they're pregnant. Every woman on this forum will tell you they thought they were pregnant one month b/c they had all the signs, sore boobs, nausea, etc, and they weren't pregnant. Also, pre-pregnancy symptoms are identical to PMS symptoms. The only true way to tell if you're pregnant is to take a hpt when you miss your period. Make sure you're timing your intercourse right. Alot of women who have a hard time conceiving a baby have timing issues. You need to find out when you ovulate, use a OPK, chart your temps, check your CM, whatever it takes, but find out when you ovulate. Don't just assume you ovulate on day 14, many women ovulate later or earlier. Good luck and HTH.
