how young do you have to be to get pregnant??

Question

how old do you have to be to get pregnant??
because like the young kids that get raped i was wondering how old they have to start being able to get pregnant

and when do you stop being able to get pregnant

Answer 1

if you have ever had a period then you are able to get pregnant...some women start their period at a very young age sometimes as young as 8 or 9 and then other girls start later sometimes as old as 14 or 15 sometimes older. im not sure what average age is but just to give you a better idea most of my friends started between the ages of 11 and 13 i hope this helped a little bit

Answer 2

An adolescent gets her period when she is 9-15, and can get pregnant then because she has started to ovulate. A woman stops being able to get pregnant when she no longer has periods and is not ovulating and is post-menopausal. This can happen in the early 30's for some women, or in the late 40's/early 50's for others. It just depends.

Answer 3

There are always some kinds of records that you just can’t believe. These cases are outside the borders of rational thinking. The youngest mother was a 5 year old Peruvian girl. I thought that it’s just an other urban legend, but the images and the sources convinced me. Ok, a five year old girl is not matured enough to give birth to a child. The absence of puberty, menstrual cycle, proper development of the uterus makes it impossible, but:

Her name was Lina Medina, a Peruvian girl from the Andean village of Ticrapo… Lina’s parents initially thought their daughter had a large abdominal tumor… but Lina was eventually transferred to a hospital in Lima, where she delivered a six-pound baby boy by Cesarean section on 14 May 1939. Lina’s father was temporarily jailed on suspicion of incest, but he was released for a lack of evidence and authorities were never ableto determine who fathered Lina’s child.

Answer 4

when i worked at a hospital i saw a female child pregnant at the age of 9 (almost 10) ill never forget it. She was not raped. Although im not sure her body was able to take the child to full term being her young age and all...i hope she gave it up for adoption.

Answer 5

what ever age u start ovulating, some girls have a hormonal condition in which they start ovulating way too early even as young as 5 u need to ovulate in order to get pregnant some women get their period and not ovulate so having a menstrual cycle doesnt always mean that u are ovulating

Answer 6

What an odd question. A girl can get pregnant anytime after starting her period. Girls start their period generally between 9 and 15. Usually about 12-13 is average.

Pregnancy is preventable if precautions are taken... birth control, condoms etc. or better yet...not doing it at all until they are older and married.

Answer 7

As long as they have hit puberty and have a period then they can get pregnant. For girl puberty it can start as early as 9 years. I started mine when I was 10.

Answer 8

you have to have periods in order to get pregnant, so when a girl starts getting her periods(some girls as early as like 10 and others as late as like 16) then they are able to conceive since they ovulate monthly.

Answer 9

after your first menstrual cycle. but it can start from like ages 8-16 depending on the girl. and once you reach menopause you can no longer get pregnant.

Answer 10

anywhere from 13 and on wards. as soon as your puberty starts. that means your body is ready for anything. but your brain isn't. as for the young kids that get raped, well that's not there fault and they didn't want that sex.
