I am 18 about to turn 19 me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby for 7 months and I still am not pregnant what does this mean?

This is not going to be the advice that you might want to hear. I know that you are eighteen and all grown up, but as a young mother who had her son at 18, you could never understand what you are signing up for until ten-twelve years down the line.

Don't be in such a hurry to get pregnant with a boyfriend. A child is a huge responbility and it is so much more enjoyable when you wait until you are financially and emotionally ready, not just physically ready.

Maybe not being pregnant yet is your gift, someone of a higher power telling you that this isn't right and it's really your luck that you are NOT pregnant.

I agree with justwantfair... My husband and I just had our first daughter and while it's a wonderful experience, it is very hard mentally, physically, emotionally... Take a few years for yourself and live it up. You still have a lot of time to have children.

I also agree. I think 100% that it happens when it's supposed to happen. It's your body's way of telling you that it's not ready for a baby yet! Don't rush! The more you stress about it the more it's going to seem like it never happens. And stress could also make your period late and make you think you're pregnant. Get a job / education/ car / house first so you can have soemthing to offer and be a good role model. Even when you have all that its still a HUGE responisbility. I don't think anyone's ever Truly ready for a child it's nothing like you would ever expect in a million years!
