Q: Okay...

Basically I'm 18 & have been in a 2 year relationship with my partner.
I DO NOT want any advice saying ''Your not old enough, Your not ready etc etc.''

Because in my eyes, your never ready to become a parent until it happens.

We have decided we would like a child, I'm coming on 19, and I have very supportive and some what well off parents who would be there for me in any situation.

What I am actually asking for is some advice and some signs of pregnancy, coming from someone who has experienced it.

I have joined up to a website that tells me basic dates that are best for falling pregnant, according to my menstrual period, however is there any particular things that may ''encourage'' pregnancy??

Sorry if this is too graphic but..
I had sexual intercourse with my partner on 25th/26th & 27th (today) December, and on the 25th I felt something almost instantly, and that feeling I have carried with me for the last 2 days, its like a heavy feeling in my stomach, and like a constant bloated feeling, is this my mind playing tricks because I'm so desperate for a baby?? Or is it a tell tale sign??

I don't think my chances of falling pregnant just at the minute are very high because I only stopped taking the pill 3 days ago, however I had forgotten to take it here and there beforehand, so the chances of me being completely protected are very little.

I haven't ever felt this heavy bloated feeling (along with the weird pains and noises) before ...

Can anyone help me and suggest things to encourage and recognise pregnancy?

Thank You!
I'm not pregnant, nor have ever been, and theres some questions that I cant answer, but I'm going to answer what I can.
My cousin got pregnant at eighteen, she had a hard time doing it though because she had been on the pill for 4 years.
I dont think your too young, and no one on this site should be able to tell you that your not old enough to make your own decisions.
However I dont think you can become pregnant only being off the pill for 3 or 4 days.
It takes a month for your pills to become active, so my assumption, it probably takes a month or two for them to become inactive.
You said you have very supportive parents, thats a good thing.
When you have this child, if you and your boyfriend cant support it fully, financially wise, then I'm sure your parents will help you, and besides you will support it will all the love that it needs.
I know from the experience, the fright of becoming pregnant, which in your case it isnt fright, its hope.. I felt the same thing though, I felt like my stomach was bloated, and thought it was getting bigger the very next day, when I knew it wasnt. Thankfully, I'm not pregnant, but I hope things work out for you...
I'm sure your not completely protected, where you've skipped pills, here and there, but your still protected.
I encourage you fully. I wish you luck, and hope you get the answers your looking for.
Goodluck!

Thanks for that, yeah I am hoping to get pregnant, have only been on the pill for 2 months so hopefully wont take long to become ''inactive''

I'm a fifteen year old girl, that lives in the middle of no where, seriously! My parents are the best ever! They are the ones I go to for advise. I have an older sister, by three years, and a younger adopted brother, by 6 years.
I enjoy riding horses, swimming, camping, fishing, tanning, shopping, and hunting! So, I'm not your average girl. I HATE pink!
I have a best friend, of 6 years. She's beyond crazy! She inspires me in so many ways.
