First of all no offense but you must learn to spell before you try to bring a child in this world…ridiculous!!! Just keep trying. My step dads best friend kept trying and trying and couldnt succeed. Well we had a bad storm on Wednesday and she took a pregnancy test to find out that indeed it finally worked. So just try.

ME: You’re a moron. Couldn’t is spelled with an apostrophe, and what the hell does a storm have to do with pregnancy? Do you know the quote about glass houses? if so, think about it. If not, get an education.

Michelle, do you know if you or your partner is infertile? You could always try another guy to make you pregnant? I am a guy and happy to help.

(8) Shocked says:

WOW 22 and 24 trying to get pregnant that seems very young. I’M not judging don’t get me wrong if your husbands/boyfriends want the baby too then your further along then I am and I’m 32. Ive stopped taking birth control and try just about every trick I can to have sex with out a condom. Every time at the last min he either pulls out or grabs one from the nightstand. My problem isn’t so much that he doesn’t want kids but he wants to make sure he can provided and give them what hey want. Meanwhile 32 not getting any younger and having to watch my little sister screw up her child do to lack of parenting. I cant even pass a baby gap without tearing up.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over a year with no luck. We are getting older (32 & 37) and I feel like we are running short on time. We have two children but have both decided we want to have two more before it is too late. I keep saying if it is in the cards for us it will happen.. heck maybe we will conceive twins and have both babies at once! Good luck to everyone that is trying.

(10) Hope says:

Shocked – i feel your pain….exact same situation although i am still on birth control, i could never not tell my husband. the problem my mom had early menopausal onsett and by 37 needed a historectomy – i am scared to death that if i dont do something soon it will be too late

(11) Momma28 says:

Hope and Shocked–I wish you both luck in conceiving babies. BUT, do you really want a baby that your partner isn’t ready for? Shortly after being married we conceived and it was surprise. I was ecstatic and my husband wasn’t so much. However, it wasn’t the happiest pregnancy, because I felt that I didn’t have anyone to share it with. He now feels horrible about the whole thing, but I will always remember that time as bittersweet. I hope that you both have great luck and can convince your partners that NOW is the time. :)

(12) pod says:

I’m not being funny but there seems to be alot of women over 30 who are trying to conceive and finding it hard. It’s probably your age, women have a body clock and it seems that ladies nowadays want a career AND babies, you cant have both at the same time. Babies can only come at 1 time in your life, careers can happen whenever you want.I’m a 22 year old happily married mummy of 1, trying to conceive number 2. Maybe I’m just 1 of those lucky people who finds their perfect partner early on in life.

I wanted to have a baby by nov.

(14) Kat says:

POD – I never wanted a career and just wanted to be a mother to a large family. However 33 and unmarried so unlikely I will have any children. Not all bad, have a great life and about to do post grad at uni. Plenty of friends with children I can play with – if it is not right then you can become a mum. When I was your age I was at uni living it up!

(15) Lisa says:

Shocked – Your nest bet is explaining to your partner how you feel. Does he understand that after 30 it becomes difficult, and after 35 more difficult, to concieve? You need to ask him why he thinks he can’t provide for a family and throughly understand HIS reasons, and then calmly explain yours. Trickery will lead to resentment and I dont think thats how you want to bring a child into the world.

Hope – If you were truely ready, I believe you would have stopped taking birth control by now. I understand that you’re scared and again your best option is to talk to your husband. Not only will he make you reassured and safe about the situation, but he might also be dying for a family that he thinks you’re too scared to build.

I’m quite young, only 19, and I too would like to start a family but I know that my other half isnt emotionally ready and I probably am not either. I got very stubborn a few months ago and he made sure I looked at things practically rather than looking at things through rose colour glasses.

Talking to your partner and understading every side of all stories is always the best course of action as far as I’m concerned because only when you know how your other half feels, and why, can you really make such a big decision.

Ps, I’m not trying to sound like I’m preaching. I’m just giving an opinion. =]

(16) cristin says:

I bought this book about 4 months ago, after 11 years of battle with infertility issues. I am 45 and was extremely skeptical, but had nothing to lose so with the supervision of a holistic doctor that was recommended, I had followed the 5-step Pregnancy Miracle plan and to my utter amazement I had finally find a solution. Well, 2 weeks ago for the first time in my life, my period was late. I had a positive pregnancy test a week ago. Today my doctor confirmed my pregnancy. I am amazed, shocked and thrilled. I am speechless. It really is a miracle. “Pregnancy Miracle” by Lisa OLson changed my life in more ways than one.

(17) BiggestFear says:

Ever since I was a little girl, all I ever wanted to be was a Mommy. Through out the years when I had had unprotected sex and/or had a pregnancy scare, it was always the same result. Now that I am financially and mentally ready to have a baby (and my boyfriend is too) I’m afraid that I will let him down by not being about to have one.. I know I’m just going by my past experiences, and I’ve never really tried before, but Im sooo nervous. My biggest fear is being to not make a baby..
