In my religion we get married young. I have been married since I was 16. Yes I know that most of you will find this odd however I dont want you all to think that I am one of those foolish teenagers who just wants to get pregnant for a cuddly baby. That being said I have graduated high school and am happily married to the man of my dreams. We have been having unprotected sex since last November (2006) after we got married. He was only pulling out until about August when we decided we really wanted to try for a child since we are more financially ready. In all that time we have never used a condom and I have heard that even a small amount of precum can get you pregnant. In the last 4 months it has obviously been more than precum. Yet after more than a year I am still not pregnant. There are so many girls out there who are 13, 14, 15 years old getting pregnant on accident. Yet I am 17 and ready and trying and it has not worked. Could there be something wrong with me?

I dont know if this helps any but my husbands sperm count is most likely fine as he has already conceived a child with another woman. However this was a little over 2 years ago.
I am not underweight or overweight and of course neither of us does drugs. My periods are not entirely regular but they are normally within a week or so of when I expect them.

Maybe so. Talk to your Dr. he might refer you to a fertility specialist. But for some people they can try for years before it happens.

well, your question has the answer in it... sorry hun, you are too immature to cope with real life and your body is probably telling you that by not letting you get pregnant.
Go read up on this subject.. it can takes months/yeras even.
Just because you are married and happy, it doesnt mean you have to have a baby... I had my first just before my 20th bday.
I had my second when I was 27... this was the time that I was more mature and able to cope with a new life and what having a baby for ever really meant. I was 30 when I had my 3rd and 31 when I had my fourth. My husband couldnt cope and we split up in 2004. I have struggled alone with 4 kids for a few years... I have been a mother of a child for 18 yrs and still have another 11 yrs left at least of full motherhood.... I spent 8 years in a row changing nappies.
I dont regret my kids but just sometimes yearn to be just me... not mum.
You have a long life ahead... enjoy it.

Doctors say that you should try for a baby for one year and in this year use ovulation sticks etc so that you know when your most fertile days are. If you had tried all of this and still no sucess then you should go see your doctor and you will probably have to go to a clinic to check everythings ok. But don't worry and try the above first before thinking the worst because htis happens to lots of parents. Also 17 is still a young age for a baby. Whats the rush?

.You and your partner have been trying to conceive for a while now — without success. Now what do you do?
The most important step you can take is to see a healthcare provider. If you have concerns at any time about your fertility, you should talk to your healthcare provider right away. In general, infertility is defined as being unable to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse if a woman is under age 35 (six months if a woman's age is over 35).
In addition to seeking medical advice, you may find that becoming knowledgeable about fertility issues will help you better understand any fertility testing and treatments you undergo. You and your partner may also find it beneficial to devise a Plan to guide you through this phase of your lives. Both actions can help you take control of your situation as you move forward

I shouldn't be telling a child this, but your married and your parents approve then there is nothing I can say about that. Anyways to answer your question there are things you can try when he cums in you...don't move hold your behind in the air or put a pillow under your behind. Oh and don't either of you get into a hot tub. You can also get an ovulator or fertility kit at wal mart to help tell when you are ovulating. I hope that this helps you out and good luck to you dear. I want you to know that it's going to be hard and you will get tired, but I know that you will be happy with your little bundle of joy.

SWEETIE DONT TRY AND GET PREGNANT AT 17. I GOT PREGNANT AT 17 I AM 18 NOW AND DUE THIS WEEK AND NOT THAT I DONT LOVE THAT IM HAVING A DAUGHTER BUT THERE IS SO MUCH IN LIFE I WANTED TO DO. I WANTED TO GO TO SCHOOL TO BE A NEONATOLOGIST WHICH IS LIKE 14 YEARS OF SCHOOLING BUT IT WAS MY DREAM BUT NOW IM GONNA BE SO BUSY BEING A MOM THAT IM NOT GONNA HAVE TIME TO DO THAT. I DONT HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS ANY MORE BECAUSE ONCE YOU ARE PREGNANT IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR FRIENDS FIND YOU USELESS. ME AND MY FIANCE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 5 YEARS AND HAVE OUR OWN PLACE AND EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ENGAGED I STILL DONT NOW IF ITS FOREVER AND BY KEEPING THE BABY I MADE THE DECISION TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF BEING A SINGLE MOM, I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO WAIT TILL I WAS MARRIED. I CANT TELL YOU NOT TO TRY AND GET PREGNANT CAUSE IT IS YOUR CHOICE, BUT THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE THING. BABIES ARE ADORABLE BUT THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS BABIES THEY GROW UP TO BE TEENAGERS AND ADULTS AND U ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES YA KNOW. MAYBE THE REASON YOU ARE NOT GETTING PREGNANT IS BECAUSE YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO RIGHT NOW. ME AND MY FIANCE HAD SEX FOR A COUPLE YEARS WITHOUT BC AND I NEVER GOT PREGNANT BUT WHEN I DID GET ON IT I GOT PREGNANT WHICH WAS WIERD. IM NOT TRYING TO JUDGE YOU OR ANYTHING ITS YOUR CHOICE ON WHAT YOU DO BUT JUST KNOW THAT NO MATTER HOW IN LOVE YOU AND YOUR BF ARE IT MIGHT NOT BE FOREVER AND IM SURE YOU WANT YOU BABY TO HAVE A STABLE LOVING FAMILY. THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE TRYING AND IF YOU DECIDE TO STILL JUST KNOW THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.

You should go to the doctor for several reasons. #1 to make sure your BODY is mature enough & ready for a baby #2 to make sure there isn't a problem you haven't considered, in your reproduction system #3 get an ovulation kit, it will tell you when you are MOST fertile, you only get a chance once a month, so it really isn't all that surprising you aren't yet pregnant....
That's about all the advice I can give you, no docotor in his right mind you give you medicine or shots to help you conceive due to your age....

You might not be having sex at the appropriate time in your cycle, or your periods are irregular and you can't predict when you're fertile. In an average cycle the woman is most fertile between day 8 and 16 after the 1st day of her period. If you have been trying for more than a year it's time to see your doctor and/or a fertility specialist. Best wishes.

I'm not sure of your religion, but usually things happen in God's time no matter how bad we want it. I am 27 and have been trying for a baby for 8 months now. I have finally realized that I have to give it to God and let him decide when the time is right and just enjoy and appreciate what I have now. I'm sure you have been told that before and it is frusterating to hear, but it is the truth. Be glad that you have found the man of your dreams, you are finanacially stable and you have so many years ahead of you. Good luck

It could be anything. Even if you are underweight or overweight you are less likely to conceive.
Unless you have a doc who is familiar with your religion, you are unlikely to get fertility help until you are at least 19. (They will want you to have tried for at least a year after coming of age.) However, your husband may be able to get his sperm count checked if he is older.
Good luck to you. :hug:
