I want a baby

Me and my husband have been married for two years and we want to start to have children. We have been off birth control for a year and have been trying hard for 6 months but no luck. I have a cycle of about 32 to 35 days long. I am only on my period for about 4 to 5 days.

I have been tracking my ovulation days and take my bt around the time I should ovulate but every month I am let down. My twin sister is due with her first child in April and I am so happy for her, but I was the first to get married and I wanted to be the first to give my parents a grandbaby.

Am I prego?

Well I don’t know if I am or not. We haven’t been trying and we haven’t been not trying. So I know there is a chance. But I have been getting my period for the past couple of months. But my period is not as long as it once was. And seems to be getting shorter by the months. Also I have been extra moody. And just unsure of what is going on because I thought I would know if I was pregnant by getting or not getting my period.

I just don’t want to take a test really because I don’t want to feel sad if I’m not or get freaked out because I am. I just want to know if it is common for these things to happen when you are pregnant or you are not! I just feel stupid thinking in the back of my head I am and then I get thoughts like, “you always think you are and never are.”

So why worry about it!

Hoping

My name is Jessica and I am 21 yrs old. I have been married for almost 3 months and TTC. I have been feeling a little weird lately. My last period was Dec 21st. On Jan 2nd, I had a little bit of spotting that was only noticeable when wiping (sorry for the TMI).

I have read that this might be implantation bleeding. Not sure. I also have been having slight headaches and nausea. I have not really noticed any breast changes as I have previously read about. Maybe some tingling.

I am not supposed to start my period again until Jan 18th. This is really killing me.

Not trying..but kinda hoping

Ok...so I have a 16-month-old beautiful daughter. It happened by mistake, although she is the best oops I've ever made! My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on Christmas and I'm not on any kind of BC. I've been a nervous wreck since then...I've taken four tests since then, but they were negative.

It's only the 8th, and my mom thinks I tested too early. Just the other night, I noticed I had yellowish fluid coming out from only my right breast that looks exactly like colostrum. I had surgery on my left breast back in 05, and I never could really breast feed from that one...

I'm not having any classic signs of pregnancy, except bloating, gassy, and very, very moody...well and the leaking boob thing!

Good luck to everyone on here...I've said a prayer for all of you!

I wanted to be pregnant at 17 and I got there

I was 17, and in the 10th grade I was going out with my boyfriend Corey and still am; we were head over heels in love. It was our 9-month anniversary and I had started talking about kids a lot. I mean I’ve always loved kids so one night I talked to him over the phone for hours about how he feels about having a baby. You’d think that a 16-year-old boy would never go for something like that. Well he said he would love to have a baby with me. We started having unprotected sex the next day.

About 2 weeks later I found out I was a week late on my period. I don’t know what happened but a girl who wanted to become pregnant was scared. I talked to my boyfriend about 3 days later on our way to his house for thanksgiving. He asked me why I was crying about it when he thought that I wanted to be pregnant. I told him what I was thinking. You know how every thing kicks in: how can we afford to raise a kid? I was a waitress and he worked at a pizza parlor - that’s not that much income even when you put it together.

The next day I walked down to the Kroger’s by my work to get a pregnancy test. The box had 3 of them inside. I went to work that day and took it there. They both came out positive. Then after work I took one at home and guess what? It was positive. I sent a text saying that I was pregnant. He was thrilled. I, on the other hand, was not at the time. You see I lived with just my dad and that was a rough thing to tell him. And of course I got kicked out. My boyfriend came and got me.

We then told his parents. They weren’t too happy about it but they dealt with it the best way they could. So I moved in with my boyfriend and his family. I didn’t speak to my dad until I was about 8 months pregnant. By this time I was really excited about the baby and so was every one else. Once my dad and I talked it over we forgave each other. Corey and I and his parents agreed to help us out as much as they could as long as we stayed in school.

I was 2 weeks past my due date when my water finally broke. The thing was my boyfriend and I had gone out to eat that night with a bunch of our friends. I was about 9 centimeters when we finally got to the hospital boy was I a mess! My boyfriend’s friend had let us use his van since Corey’s car couldn’t fit a 9-month over due pregnant lady in the back seat. So there I was in the back seat of a mini van with 5 or 6 of our friends trying to help me breath. I was in so much pain.

We got to the hospital safe and sound and my boyfriend stayed with me the whole time. He never took his eyes of mine while Corey’s parents and family and my dad and our friends were all outside in the waiting room. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl 9 pounds 8 ounces. That was about the worst pain I had ever been through but I’m glad I did it. Wouldn’t change it for the world.

I'm 18 now and Corey and I are married. We both go to work and school full time and are working on trying to find a apartment so we can live together and be a normal family. Oh by the way, we are expecting our second child now. I’m about 3 months pregnant. So we have a 1 year old and one on the way and we couldn’t be happier.
