It takes different times for different people to conceive. It took me about 4 months the first time, 2 months the second time and oops... just happened the third. But they say if you have been trying for 6-12 months (having intercourse during ovulation) and haven't had any success, talk to your doctor.

Why are you worried that you won't be able to conceive? If there isn't any medical reason, then you shouldn't worry about it. The timing of having children is different for everyone and depends on so many things. And it all depends on the kind of priority you put on stuff.

For instance, I wanted to make sure I had done something for myself first... so I would have fewer regrets staying home and raising my kids. So it was important to me to have a career and build it. I also wanted to do some traveling, see the world before my kids. I wanted to make sure I was married to the right man because he'll be their father forever. And I wanted to make sure we were financially able to provide for them. So in my case, I waited. Probably longer than I would have liked (finding the right guy and getting him to the altar was the hold out for me).

i was 19 when i had my first child, i probably wasn't ready at first. but once you step up to that plate you'll know what to do. it is a good sign that you are worried about it, if you weren't worried you may not worry that much about anything with your baby. so don't worry so much, you sound like you would be a great mom. if you are confident about your relationship and confident in yourself why not start whenever you want a baby.

I think you are old enough especially if you are in love and getting married. Also, if you have kids now you will still be young when they are adults! There is definitely an advantage to that. I am going to be almost 30 when I have mine and so I will be 48 when he/she turns 18. I did the right thing for me but sometimes I wish I was younger when beginning this journey.

HON I WAS ONLY A MEER 17 YEARS OLD WHEN I HAD MY FRIST CHILD AND BELIVE ME I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT. BUT HUN WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOUR READY THEN GO ABOUT DOING YOUR PLANS BUT YOU AS A PERSON IS READY, ME PERSONALY DIDN'T CARE IF MY NOW HUSBAND STAYED OR NOT. BUT LET ME REMIND YOU YOUR FRIST 2 OR 3 YEARS ARE GOING TO BE ROUGH SO THINK IF YOU WANT TO BRING A BABY INTO THAT SUROUNDINGS. BUT YOUR READY WHEN YOU FEEL UR READY AND LET NO BODY TELL YOU THAT YOUR TOO YOUNG OK HUN.

You arnt to young i had my daughter at 17 , got pregnant at 16 so u will do just fine!!

hi,Im 20 and Im 23 weeks pregnant at the minute,I say that u should go for it if youre both sure cos I got pregnant entirely by accident but I already wouldnt change it for the world,I feel my little girl moving about inside me all the time and its a feeling that cant be described. Good luck :-) xx

Hi Shannon. I was 19 when I got pregnant, and 20 when he was born. And we were trying for him!!! And now I am 39 and he is 19! I love the fact that I'm an adult, with an adult child. We are very tightly bonded. Of course I had 5 more after him!! So now I am a 39 yr old with 3 boys aged 19,18,16, and three girls aged 13,9, and 6! I believe if you are ready at your age, and wanting a baby with your fiance, you are READY! And the younger the better, IF U R READY!! Have fun trying!!!

i think you should try when ever you feel like it's the right time to be bearing children, however if you think you're ready go for it.

i dont think ur too young to be a mom im 19 and ill be 20 in july and i am having my baby boy tomorrow im getting induced. u might want to wait till around the wedding date to start trying so ur not huge at ur wedding..but otherwise if ur married and ready go for it!

Hun as long as you are comfortable then what does it matter. I mean you arent really a child anymore and you obviously are in a sturdy, happy relationship so if its what you and your partner want then I reckon go for it.

I got pregnate at 15 and had my son at 16 am now 23 and expecting my 2nd in late Jan. And I think that if you feel you are ready then go for it! Good Luck Sweetie.

Thank you guys please keep the advice coming

YOU COULD START TRYING NOW ARE YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL YA'LL TIE WEDDING BELLS. BECAUSE I GOT POPPED UP 3WEEKS BEFOR THE CHURCH WEDDING. BUT WE HAD WENT TO JUSTICE COURT AND GOT TIED THE NOTT''!!! AND MY DUE DATE IS 9-9-2007

I was 19 when I had my oldest...it took me a LOG time to figure out how to be a mom...especially to grasp the self sacrifice that parenting rquires. 8 years and a college degree later I am finally having number two and I feel way more prepared this time.

I'm sorry that I don't have advice but i'm new here and just wanted to say that i'm glad that this topic was broughten up. I am 19 and my fiance is 22. we have been talking about kids. i know that i am ready but the only thing that stops me is i dont want people to look at me different because i am young. any ways my point is, is that this made me feel like it is not wrong to be a young mother as long as you are ready.
