I heard that eating Pufferfish (they have to be cooked PERFECTLY or the are deadly) can increase the chances of someone getting pregnant greatly. Also try having sex a week after you've had your period. I hope you'll get a bun in the oven soon!!

YummyMummy agony auntSome people try and conceive for years and years, and at your age your body may still be getting ready for the future babies. If you are both serious about the decision to have children why not go to your local family planning clinic and see if they can help with any advice.

Me and my partner tried to have a baby about 2 years ago but got no where and we gave up as it caused so much hassle between us, and now I'm expecting our first child in October. It will happen eventually!

it really is a big step planning a baby so young, but eight months is not really a long time for trying.

If you are serious about having a baby, mark down the date of each period, if your cycle is regular then you count back 14 days. Example if you have a thiry day cycle count back 14 days and that is when you are ovulating.

People think its 14 days after first day of your period this is done on assuming everyone has a 28 day cycle, not everyone does.

have sex reguarily over that time, after sex put yout bum in the air and dont go to toilet for at least ten fifteen minutes this gets the sperm chance to swim up more easily.

If you are trying I hope you are taking folic acid, not smoking cutting down on alchohol this will all help.

Good luck, but remeber there is a lot of life out there, and a baby restricts that for many years and youth is something you cant recapture xxx

your 16- 17 probably still maturing, i'd live your life first and wait till you get older your too young and probably in a young relationship with someone who may not stay with you no matter what....

also a doctor won't see you because they have criteria they look at relationship problems (being so young and unmarried would be their first refusal) how long you're trying to concieve normally at least 2 years with effort to change lifestyle and diet and then sometimes longer before they offer fertility treatment

ladybug agony auntjust be patient, everything has a reason, perhaps this situation is only a challenge given by god for both of you to test your love,understanding, and faith. focus youselves more on the preparation, besides, 8 months is a very short time to be a basis of an ideal family, so just be patient and have faith, im sure everything will turn out great.
