Did you guys hear about the 13 year old kid in england that got his 15 year old gf pregnant?

Yes!
I posted a question like this yesterday.

There is so much wrong with this story, it is unbelievable.

First of all, the kid looks about 7, not 13.
Second, he was having sex with a girl twice his size!
Third, when asked what he would do financially, he said "What's financially?"
THEN...he's dad defended him...saying "He could have stayed home playing the play station....but he's at the hospital"...woop-de-friggen-do, what a hero!


Then, to top it all off.....They now live with the girls jobless father, in a council house, living off benefits.

That poor baby is getting the worst possible start to life.

Yes it was in today's papers. Unfortunately, those who want and should have often can't. Hope it happens for you soon. Their pics were in paper too. HE doesn't even look 13---looks about 10!

Yeah I seen that, it was just sick, and possibly the way things are gonna be in the future.
His kid will be going to the same school for crying out loud.

No, I hadn't heard about that...but it is really quite sad that they are so young...that poor baby...however, on the other hand if you are trying too hard...it may not happen...I wanted one so badly for like a year and a half...as soon as I said I didn't want one, I can't have any, and there aren't gonna be any babies here...I got pregnant! Try telling yourself that you don't want it for a few months...maybe it'll happen. Good luck!

I did hear, I got pregnant at 16 my husband was 18, it's alot of work, regardless of your age, I understand your frustration, when I tried for my second, I thought, ok, ill go off the pill get pregnant, took me 2 mths got pregnant then miscarried, had to try for 4 more mths, which I know compared to you isn't much, but I can feel your pain, every month id get my period id cry. my friend was trying the same time as me, she had tried for 5 years, she moved to canada to seek treatment, 5 mths after I got pregnant, she got pregnant, through IVF. now she has twins. im wishing you the best, hope the fertility specialist helps.

lol, yes.
I've heard!
its ridiculous!

Well 1st of all, stop trying so hard. Its been 2 years. Maybe you should go see a specialist and find out why your not getting pregnant.
I am not saying its right but seems that some girls are fertile. I am one of those girls. I have conceived 3 kids without even trying. Going off the pill is as hard as it gets for me.
Sorry but thats the hard truth of life. You won't always get what you want.

When my coworker sent me the link, my first reaction was "Awesome! The boy and his baby are both 'kid's price'. I feel bad for the kids' parents. I mean, every parent only wants the best for their kids - education, opportunities, etc. And I am sure "being a parent at 13 (or 15)" is definitely not one of them. Imagine watching your kid's childhood cut short because s/he now has a baby to take care of.

I know what you mean. I know people who've been trying for years and still can't get pregnant. It is frustrating. I guess the younger you are, the more fertile...hence you see all these young girls having babies only after one shot, then women who are financially and mentally ready are only left with two choices: fertility doctors or adoption.

yes its rediculous - but maybe if you stopped worrying about the world, you might have a chance of having your own baby!
just because a 13 yr old has a kid, doesnt mean it makes you any more or less fertile.. just be happy that your alive & healthy & are able to even try!

That's insane!! I hadn't heard anything about that yet! I'm not sure how I could have missed it though.

As far as yourself, I'd agree to take it easy, slow down and relax. I too am one that can conceive fairly easily so I don't really know how you feel. My best friend got so mad at me when I conceived my daughter right off the pill and she was trying so hard~~charting her ovulation, doing the BBT, checking her CM and all that. I told her to stop trying so hard and let nature run its course and thankfully it worked for her.

I'm glad to hear that you're going to see a specialist. I do know that stress, hormones, age and excessive weight can all hamper your ability to conceive.

I wish you all the best and hopefully this year will be your year!
