When you for advice from a large group of people, you have to be prepared that some people aren't going to say what you want to hear.
And Stressed, 25 wasn't that long ago for me either :) At the time I thought it was a rough age. The beauty is that you get to look back a few years down the road, and realize it is not as bad as you thought it was. And granted, you've lived more since you were 16 then most people I know that are 30. :) Good luck to you, and your DH.
Hey Nicki,
I know that everyone on here seems to be mean or stating things a little rudely. I must admit I got a little angered by some of the post, but of course; I'm ruled by my emotions! However I do agree with them. I had my daughter at 16 years old and I messed the enjoyment of pregnancy (Got some great life lessons) but I messed the enjoyment of growing a new life inside of me, and my bf and I were so young and scared that he messed it too. We spent the majority of the time angry and scared and most of the time I was alone and Alone is definitely not a good feeling being pregnant. Now at 25 I'm trying with my DH and couldn't imagine him not being here for the ride. (In every since of the word LOL)I hear everyone say to you that you're young and you have time, well I don't agree to an extent with that. It's definitely a true statement, but you can't control your feelings if this is something that you want and want it now, you can't help that! However you do have controlling circumstances so sometimes you have to put your wants on the back burner. I also know that at 25 you feel like time is catching up with you, it's definitely an "understated aged" and very hard for generations before us to understand. It's a new day and a new time, and to us 25 seems old, very old! I understand! According to everyone born before 1981 we're all to young, so shrug that off. It's always nice to here others opinions and trust there are some good ones posted, but remember that they are just that. Opinions! My opinion sides with them, but I understand it's hard to stop wanting something, once it's a constant thought. Waiting isn't a bad idea, and as far as getting the sperm from your guy, The best thing about making a baby is trying (receiving the sperm naturally) and there is definitely no greater joy.
Also to mejoje
That was a kick A$$ Idea I think I'm going to do that, good money saving techniques. I love it, and I love it alot!

You need to also realize that these are experienced mothers on this forum, so when you come asking, be prepared to listen.
To all of the ladies..go easy on her....imagine the stressful situation that she's going through as if it ain't hard enough being a 25 year old women today!
Hey hey hey, how old do you think I am,lol! It was only a few years ago I was 25 and pg with my 2 year old : ) That being said, I KNOW what it is like to be "young" and want to get pg. I also know that being married sets a very strong foundation for a family. I wasn't being hard on her, I don't think many were. I think people are just trying to show her that time is on her side and she should consider waiting.

Sorry,
I know you all know that age is a little crazy, but I'm just letting her know that I'm there too and I understand. This being 25 business is getting to me LOL. Also being married is definitely a great foundation. I had my first daughter at 16 and vowed that my next child would be when I was married and prepared for the adventure. So now I'm married and perparing for the adventure She's my everything and I love her, and we'll probably be more like sisters than mother and daughter, because we grew up together, but still there is nothing like having a family. I hope nicki takes the advice, and again I'm sorry, It's just rought being 25 nowadays I tell you! LOL :)
Thanks for the well wishes, and I can't wait to look back at this age, I'm so over it! LOL
