Hello, For the past four months i've been sexually active, and every month i get very depressed that i'm not pregnant. I'm not trying to get pregnant at the moment, my boyfriend and i want to graduate highschool. I've been in love with him for almost four years and hes very special to me, and I know he feels the same about me. He does want a child too but agrees we should wait til after school. I have a very supporting family and they would help me. I just don't want to feel this emtpyness. Any advice?

Maybe you need to look at what the emptyness really is. I wouldn't think that someone as young as yourself is empty for a baby right now. Are you just a bit scared of the future perhaps? Or of the responsibility that comes with your growing independence? Life is going to change rapidly after you graduate and there will be so many opportunities out there for you. Why not try a few before settling down with children? There truly is no hurry (unless you and your boyfriend are 40 year old mature aged students who have gone back to do high school..lol). Why not spend some years finding out who you are before being tied down.
Whatever you decide to do..good luck.

I also felt empty. A month after I turned 17 I gave birth to my son who is now almost 10. I totally regret dropping out of school so I could raise my son. You say your family will be there to help you. Well you should not depend on family to help you. You should finish school, get a job, and get your own place to live. Then you wouldn't have to ask for "help" If you do things right then you will be much better off. You don't know how hard it is to raise a baby at such a young age. I know all about it.

You should really wait till you are out of highschool and know what you are going to do with your life first. Babies are really expensive to take care of and they are not your families responsibility once you have a child. You will have no time for yourself once you have a baby. Wait a few more years and grow up more for your own sake and for the child you want to have. You will be thankful you waited in the long run.

don't spend the rest of your high shool years worry about getting pregnant. Enjoy them. YOu'll get pregnant when the time is right. Finish high school and start a career. YOu can't do anything for a baby if you both are high school drop outs. Try and make a better life for your child by finishing school.

to me hun it sounds like you arent ready yet. dont rush it take your time and wait until you are both ready to get pregnant. concentrate on your studies and your guys relationship first. make sure you two are best friends first and have total communication and that you are really in love with eachother first and then after highschool get a place together and see if that works out before having a baby together.

Your physique is likely out of whack from combating the delivery administration even with the undeniable fact that for sure in case you had unprotected intercourse after combating the pill you will possibly are turning out to be pregnant. Take yet another try.

Dont rush with wanting to have a baby!! seriouly. Iam a teen mom with two kids. I am 19 and just graduated, I did it, but it was very difficult to deal with two kids and shcool.

Don't! Get educated, get financially stable, get married then think about getting pregnant. There is no other intelligent way to go especially for the child.

wait till you graduate, and get a place of your own at least. it is hard to raise a baby no matter how supportive your family is.
