Considering getting pregnant by “not trying not preventing” Am i crazy?

Question

I’m 18 and I have PCOS and potentially endometriosis, Just haven’t had the laparoscopy surgery yet. I’ve also had PID and Cervicitis and chlamydia that got left untreated for almost 2 months. These are all fertility factors I’m really concerned that i can’t get pregnant and the more time I wait, I’ll have less chance.

My boyfriend is 24 and also wants one. I just don’t wanna wait till it’s too late. I rather have one early than never have one at all. I’ve always known I’ve wanted to be a mother from Such a young age and it would kill me to not have one, just as it upsets me everyday to think I might not be able to. By not trying not preventing I just mean having unprotected sex whenever the time comes and let go and Let God.   Thoughts? Advice?

Answer

That's what we did! I just knew I couldnt handle actually trying for a baby. I would become obsessed and it would take over my life so my husband and I decided to just not prevent. Well long story short and things happened WAYY sooner than expected. We just found out we are expecting about 3 weeks ago which was only 6 months into not preventing. While I loved the not preventing and just letting God do his plan in our lives there are a couple things I think people should consider. The normal ideas of how money will work not nessicarily can you afford it because we all know babies and children are expensive and I know where I'm from I doubt anyone here is comfortable financially when having kids, but just make sure you would still be able to make ends meet. Can you afford food for you all and diapers and rent all those good things. Consider what support system you have like do you have family nearby that can help with child care or will you pay for it. Then look at yourselves personally have you gotten the education you want or something along those lines. Again I'm not saying you cant continue your education with a baby it's just a little more difficult(trust me I'm about to finish senior year of college with a baby). maybe you want to put it on hold for a year or two. :) then also think about where you to stand in a relationship. all of these things are just things I believe you should think about and by no means should be an answer of yes or no you guys get to decide that!
Then advice for actually concieving...  just go with the not preventing method if you decide to but go ahead and start tracking your Basal body temperature either way. One it will help with your nerves to know what's happening and to if you ever (I pray no one ever does) have to see a doctor about something they are going to ask for you to track your temperatures somewhere between 6 months to a year... you would be ahead of the game!  Then of course talk to your Doctor about ALL your concerns dont stress yourselve and dont worry. There are a lot of other people out there who can help 😊
