Hey.thank you all so much for the advice. thanks for your comment noitall. I have already got a very steady and successful career working as an administration officer. I got married when I thought it was ready and now we have just bought a house. I live in UK by the way,not Kentucky.I might miss out on the parties and getting drunk every weekend but I have a very different life style to many people I know.All my friends are only wishing they were able to buy a house at 19 yrs old and have what I have.I am proud of the decision I have made and me and my husband work together to achieve our goals.A baby is the next step to complete our lives. He has a step son and we are currently going through alot of problems with the little boys mother and I would apsolutely love a baby of my own.Im ready to start my life early and make the best out of it!!!

The best way to get pregnant is to chart your cycle so you know when you are most fertile.
Take and recond your temperature evrry morning when you wake up. It will rise when you ovulate (Around the middle of your cycle) and will stay higher until your next period. Once released your egg remains vaible for fertilisation for just 12-24 hours.
Keep an eye on your mucus too. It will become stretchy like egg white as you approach ovulation. Sperm can survive for up to 5 days in this most fertile mucus.
I wouldn't waste money buying OPK's as your body can tell you for free when you are ovulating! When trying to conceve it is recommended that you have intercourse every other day during the week before you ovulate and then for a day or two after.
There is a charity called LIFE UK which runs a very sucsessful fertility programme you could also check out.
Make sure you are taking your pre-natal vitamins and good luck!

Why would anyone in this day and age want to be married at 19 and have a baby? Your life is passing you by! Babies will consume a lot of your time and will leave you no time for anything...and I mean anything. Peeing alone will be luxury. I talk from experience. Think clearly. Babies grow up and require lots of money and time. There will be nights when the baby will refuse to sleep and may cay all night long. You will be invited to a party and will not be able to go because you don't have a sitter. Children get sick and projectile vomit at 3am. Kids pee in their beds and some refuse to potty train. Some play with the contents of their diapers and smear it on the walls and floor. Are you ready for reality????????
Didn't you aspire to have a career? You are just a kid playing house. I hope you don't get pregnant until you are at least 25. Who knows if your husband will even be around by then. Where do you live Kentucky? Good luck.

It took me about 3 years to get pregnant with my 1st baby (got pregnant at 20) i guess i wasn`t that fertile but when i got into my 20s i had 2 planned babies timed to perfection . It could just be you`re not at your peak yet , try to relax , enjoy being a couple with your husband and a baby will come along when the time is right ..

It took me a year to fall pregnant with my first child and two years with the second.It didn't happen until i stopped trying, i know it's easier said than done but try not to worry yet and relax.I'm sure if there was anything seriously wrong it would have been picked up somewhere along the way during all the checks.

hi. im sorry if i cant answer your question, im TTC also. but i just wanted to leave on comment on "noitall"'s answer she left.....DO NOT LISTEN TO HER. yes all those things she said can be true and yes, children do that, but if youre trying to conceive im sure youve thought about all that already...sounds like she is regretting having children. i was married young and had 2 kids by the time i was 20...and i wouldnt change it for the world! im now 29 and trying for #3. what an awful thing for her to say. just relax and you'll get pregnant when its meant to be! Good luck to you and im happy you found love at a young age! :)

try not to worry to much and try not to think about it to much either. I wanted a baby for ages too and noting happened then i planned a girls not out and i had sex only 2 times and thought there was no chance i could be pregnant then out of the blue i was. it just goes to show that if you dont want to be and your not stressing over it, it should happen. Good luck and all the best.

Do you track your ovulation times? remember, you have a 24 hour window.. i would start trying days before you ovulate, since sperm can last up to 72 hours, which should increase the chances of it being fertilized. Really, right after your period, just have him make a deposit daily until your period is ready to start.

Just make sure that from days 10-20 in your cycle you have sex every other day. If you have it more his sperm count will be low, if you have it less you could miss the "golden 12 hours" that your egg is fertile. Good luck! We are trying too. . . taking a test in a few days!

I would highly recommend the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. Even if you have been "trying" for 2 years, if you have not been "trying" on days when you are *actually* fertile, you are not going to get pregnant.

If you are "doing it" everyday that might be why. Your husband has to replenish his supply as they say. I could also be that you or he is under stress. Relax and have fun again with it. If you are constantly thing I want to get pregnant this time you won't, just try to recindle the romance and that might work.
