First what normally happens is that you go to your gynocologist, they do a work up on you. Then after you have tried on your own for a year or if the gyn finds something wrong, you then go to a reproductive endo Dr. they will do further work up on you. Most couples it takes on average 6-12 months to get pregnant. Each cycle you have only like 25% chance of getting pregnant. Everything has to be timed just right. You have to know exactly when you are ovulating and then make sure to time sex just right. Usually starting 3 days prior to ovulating until 1-2 days after. The egg only lives 12-24 hours after you ovulate. I would suggest getting ovulation predictor kits, start testing on day 10 of your cycle and test until you get a positive, which is two lines that are as dark or the test line as dark as the control line. Once you see a positive ovulation test, you normally will ovulate 12-36 hours after that. I hope this helps.

I would suggest you wait till you and BOYFRIEND are married and have a home, I had first baby young and trust me it is not easy I wish I had waited now I am in my 30's and having babies it is so much more fun.. I also thought my boyfriend was my forever and he ended up being no where to be found when baby came I raised her 18 years on my own.. Just something to think about.

kimiko - someday,  you'll thank God for unanswered prayers.

This man is way too old for you,  and you aren't married.  This is the time in your life where you figure out what you want to do with your life - get your education,  start on a career or a mission.

You're trying to take the easy way out by binding yourself to an obligation rather than spreading your wings and flying.  

It's unfair to the baby,  and to you,  and this guy will be gone before the baby arrives.

Amen to RockRose's post. I was thinking it but didn't want to say it. There was a large age gap between myself and an ex. At the time the difference didn't seem so vast and oh, "I loved him". One morning I woke up to an old man that was falling apart and had false teeth, bad back, grey hair, ED and all the old age things. I was too young to be doing that. I didn't want to sit at home watching reruns of Andy Griffith and talking about grocery prices. I was still young and had a lot of life left. I do thank God for unanswered prayers. I can't imagine he and I bound for life with a baby today. Phew! I dodged a bullet.

I would go to your gyno and have them check things to see what's going on and maybe use OPK's and see when you are ovulating to ge the correct times.  I'm not going to judge your age or lifestyle or the age of your BF cause I think there's nothing wrong with the age and it's your own choice when and by whom you are pregnant.  All I can say is make sure you know all the consiquences before you do get pregnant.  And good luck if you deceide this is indeed what you are wanting.

when i was 18 my man was 28 so i dont see the age thing as an issue but we are married now and getting pregnant was and accident for us but we delt with it.are you even ou tof high school? maybe you should wait a few years. ho wlong have you been with this guy? are you sure he is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with? there are alot of questions you need to ask yourself before you really start to try and if you get the answers you want then you go to your doctor and get checked out first.

i'm 18, and my boyfriend is almost 20, and we're trying to get pregnant too. i dont see age as a big issue, as long as your sure you love eachother.  alot of young women these days go for older men, because their stable, and have a house and money, but as long as thats not why your together, then thats good.  me and my boyfriend have also been trying for two months, and we both want this soo bad, soo i see where your coming from. i just wanted to wish you the best of luck, and let you know your not alone.
