Hey everyone, it is my first time here. First of all i am 16, nearly 17 years old from England. I was Diagnosed with PCOS when i was 14 years old, however they didnt do much about it and i continued to struggle on with few periods that gave me so much pain. I have been trying for a baby for awhile now to no luck so decided to go back to a different doctor for help. However they lost my old blood tests so they sent me for an ultra-sound, where they confirmed it was PCOS. I was then asked at the docs what was bothering me most, which was Fertility. He asked if i really wanted to get pregnant and i said yes so he put me on Metformin two 500mg tablets a day, I have been taking these for a week now and i started my period, i dont know if it is a conicidence or the tablets are working, only time will tell i suppose. So i am feeling more positive again, there is nothing me and my boyfriend want more than a baby, we have thought long and hard about it and like the doc said it probs the best time to have a baby because you have more energy etc. Anyway that is my story! A big hello to everyone!!!
Wow, I could not imagine having a baby when I was 16!! Are you sure thats what you want?? What are your plans for the future?? 16 is very young to make a life changing decision like having a baby. Maybe you should look around the mommy board and you will find that along with the many joys, there are many hardships even for us adults that are completely prepared for motherhood. Please enjoy your childhood, have fun and dont tie yourself down so soon!!!

I have thought about this and am not rushing into it at all. I have alot of support around me and it hasnt been a quick decision. I live with my 25 year old boyfriend and are surrounded in very good family for which we are lucky. No having a baby isnt easy and it never will be, no matter your age. I believe and this is my opinion, that you know when the time is right for you and i know for me it is now. I will be at least 17 if not 18 when i have the baby anyway. I have the support of my doctor as well, like he told me i am at the best age as far as having the energy and keeping up with my kids in concerned and he also knows how mature I am. I know it isnt all coooing and awww and playful and happy it is sleepness nights, bottles, nappies, looking after them 24/7, being with them when they are ill, tatrums and loads more, Oh and of course the expence. Like my grandma said (she had 9 kids) you can never afford kids if you wait till you can you will be waiting forever. We have enough money, our own house and support, i didnt have a good childhood and if i didnt think i could give a child the best chance at life i wouldnt put my baby through it!
This is all of course only my opinion, everyone is allowed one of them lol and my story How I feel about things
