    Default trying to have a baby

    i have been trying to have a baby since last year of december i think im ready and going to be 24 in feb.22 and i dont want to wait to long cause ur eggs to get old after 30 and it would take longer to get pregnant. any advice in what to do or what to get? how did u get pregnant or how did u try? im on a budget too.

    have u seen this ovulation test before and have u tried it or does it work better than the pee test ones?

    http://maybemom.org/who_should_use.html

    its called:
    What is M.O.M.®? (Mini Ovulation Microscope) The MaybeMOM™ Mini Ovulation™ Microscope is a saliva fertility tester that quickly and accurately detects a woman’s fertile and infertile days. When a woman is fertile her saliva contains high levels of salts. These salts form a “fern-like” pattern when saliva is dried out on the MaybeMOM Mini Ovulation Microscope lens.

    its 40.00 dollars is that ok price for something like that?

    To answer your question, $40 is a good deal for an ovulation tester, they used to be more expensive.
    Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope you're married to a good guy if you want to become a mom at 24. You're going to need support. 24 is still young.
    My mom had most of her kids AFTER 30 and they're perfect. Intelligent, healthy and strong....this media scare about "old eggs" is just a backlash against women.

    Mox and I have been together for almost 7 years now, but we're not going to even consider having kids until waaaaaaaaaaaay later (after we get our degrees, buy a house, and settle down). I don't see myself being a mom until at least my late 20's to around 30.

    If you are financially/emotionally/physically ready, though- good luck!

    I'm not planning to have kids, but I've done my research: The best way to get pregnant, as far as all studies indicate, is to not freakin' worry about it. This is why so many couples have an accidental birth after they give up on conception and adopt a child.

    As for age? Don't worry about that either. I have a little brother who was born to my mother and father when Mom was 44 and Dad was 53. He's SMARTER than the rest of us.

    Yes, genes change over time, but not only for the worst.

    I COMPLETELY agree with what was said above by thechaosfairy. The best way to get pregnant, is to not *try* at all. Case in point.. My Hubby and I tried to get pregnant for 6 months. After that was up, we figured that something happened to my tubes afterall when we had the ectopic before we got married. Then, all of a sudden, *POOF*, I was pregnant. When you don't think about it, you're not stressed, and it'll just happen naturally.

    With my first 2, I didn't have to try at all either. It just kind of happened. Granted, I was younger (16 and 18 when I conceived them, 17 and 19 when I had them), so I was extremely fertile to begin with. But, we just didn't put it in our minds to "try". I was 28 when Delia was conceived, and almost 29 when she was born.

    There are some factors that come with age, but, they don't happen as often as we're taught to believe. I've seen women nearing 50 have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.

    If you really want to, go ahead and try the ovulation test. But, anything further than that, I wouldn't worry. Doctors say that if you have been actively trying to conceive for a full year with no luck, it's time to look for the cause, or find ways of boosting your fertility.

    It'll happen for you. But in the meantime, have fun (not) trying! That's the best part! Woot!

    ^ Completely agreed!! Scorpio and I had mind-blowing sex not caring about the consequences...and WHAM...I found out I was preggers. heh That was fun...

    I had a friend who spent 3 years taking her temperature, and doing the deed on the dot on the most "fertile" days of her cycle...with nothing. After feeling completely let down and looking into adoption, she found out that the last time she drank an entire bottle of wine and let loose with her hubby...she was pregnant.

    There's something to be said about stress. If you are stressed out and obsessing over stuff...your body just cannot function normally. When you haven't a care in the world and are just ENJOYING yourself...THAT'S when the good stuff happens!!

    And age...I became pregnant at 28 and gave birth at 29. I am planning on having more babies within the next year or so. I'm not worried about the health of my babies. I take good care of myself and I know that I will have wonderfully healthy babies. There are some older women who have problems with pregnancy or have a child who is down-syndrome or whatever...but a young woman can have the same issues.
