you had a disease or some other health problem that you knew could cause infertility or at best make it hard to get pregnant in a few years? (i.e Polycystic ovary syndrome, large uterine fibroids, damage from pelvic inflammatory disease or STIs, or ovarian cysts.)
What if you were still in college? Obviously you would be in a committed relationship, be able to afford a baby etc. And yes I know that all these don’t always cause infertility or difficulty getting pregnant, I’m just asking hypothetically.
I’m just curious what do other people think because I know that I have something wrong with me along those lines, I’m not sure what it is or how severe, my exam/ultrasound isn’t until Friday.
But again this is HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING. I’m just asking what would you do, not what should I do, because it might not even apply to me, I don’t know yet.
I personally would have a child if i thought It would make me infertile in the future. I have family to help me and friends, so it wouldn’t be dificult at all. My husband and i grew up together. we met when i was 9 he was 10. so our family is very close and huge, we have a lot of babysitters. but having a child with no help is a huge decision you really have to sit down and evaluate. there are other options such as adopting a child. BUT if you really want a biological child, then I would go ahead and have a baby now. thats what I would do.

I’m 23 and when I was 11 I had Ovarian Cancer. They took out one ovary and a fallopian tube to try and save my fertility. I also had 4 harsh rounds of 3 potent chemothereapies that are supposed to make you less likely to conceive or make me go into early menopause.
It took 5 months for us to get pregnant and we weren’t really trying that hard. Just having sex a lot. I never knew when I was ovulating. In an ideal world I would have waited another 5 years to get pregnant. However, I felt that I didn’t want to take that chance. It was a decision that I discussed with my husband, parents, and siblings.

well in my case i got married 2 days before i turned 20, both of us had a steady job and I was most ready to start a family. But that was just me. I’ve always known I wanted to have my babies young be done by 25 at the latest. Well here I am 24 about to deliver our second! I don’t know if i would do it because of a health issues. I guess I would have to be put in that situation myself. But as much as I wanted to be a mother, i think i probably would as long as it wasn’t a life threatening disease. Motherhood is something I have NEVER wanted to miss out on.

I would of course

Well the women in my family all tend to get very sick the older they are when they carry babies. As well as endemetriosis that can make conceiving difficult. I myself got pregnant at 20 for the first time and am 23 this time. This pregnancy has been more difficult so apparently it’s true. Of course I am married and financially supported by my husband. I do my school work through a local college, it’s a correspondence program. So at this point I get the best of both worlds.

I would not recommend it. Ovarian cysts run in my family and my sisters have had no problem getting pregnant. One sis just had her second child at 34 years old.
Enjoy these years you have with your significant other before you two have a child together. It will help your friendship grow stronger before you have a child. And you will need to have a strong/sharing relationship when baby is keeping you up all night!!
My husband and I have decided that when we are ready to have children, if it doesn’t happen–it is for a greater reason. We have decided that there are plenty of children out there (especially in these tough times) who need a good home. If we can’t have our own child, we will definitely consider adoption.
I hope that whatever you decide, it will make you happy!!!!

Yes, I would. I got pregnant at 20, but not on purpose, and I still finished college so that shouldn’t be an issue if you’re devoted to your studies.
If I’m in a committed relationship and financially stable, and both me and my partner are emotionally ready for a child, I’d go for it. If not, there’s always adoption. I always tell people to wait to have kids until they’ve done a little more living (I love my son and would never change my life if I could, but sometimes I wish I had experienced more before I had him) but this is a different case.
