[MadiMay]

Im 16 and irregular and i wanna know if that means i cant have a baby? I dont take B/C either. And i started my period when i was 10 or 11!

You should consult a doctor, I dont think you have problems with fertility, but it is necessary to check it

God bless u too dear.U hev the ryt attitude towards life and if u continue like that u'll mek it. I too grew up with jus my mum but she's diff frm urs in that she didn't do bf's bt did her best to bring me &my older sister in the ryt way.Thru the finincial difficulties i persevered and got thru high school,went to university and got 2 degrees.I'm doing another diploma in PR now coz i believe education is power.So here i am in Africa and doing good despite my life challenges.
Take care of urself, don't have sex until u r married,get ur education, believe in God and u have nothing to fear.
As for your irregular periods,u can ur doc to find out wats causing them otherwise u shouldb't worry abt it.Don't tek bc to regulate them without consulting ur doc as bc can actually lead to delayed fertility in some pple.
God bless.

Thanks soooo much everyone, that makes me feel sooo much better and btw I kno I'm not ready for a baby! I'm graduating early from high school and aslo have recieved my AA degree while still attending high school. I grew up w/ just my mom and her several stupid bfs and I plan to a way different life for myself. I intend never to let my children experiance the things I have. And I plan on securing a good future for them before I even think about bringing them into this world! I just wanted to know for future purposes! Thank you so much for the input and good luck to everyone and god bless!

Having irregular periods does not make you infertile. Though I HIGHLY recommend waiting to have a baby. They are expensive and a lot of work, which you need to be ready for and at 16 you're still in school. It's better to finish school first and then try for a baby. I'm 20 and in college, possibly pregnant after a stupid decision, and so worried about it. My boyfriend and I aren't financially ready for this. It's a big life changing event to have a baby, so please really think about it. Just look at the above posts. You can go on some type of birth control to regulate your period, which I think would be a good idea. Good luck.

Just because your periods are irregular doesnt mean you're infertile, it means you ovulate at different times. You're 16 you have your whole life ahead of you. Trust me. Im 17 and pregnant and I had to drop out college and cant carry it on. And tbh... I wish I waited sometimes. Because now I can't have the future I wanted. Please dont get pregnant at 16 and go on BC because it might help your periods become regular did to me.
Pleaase think about what you're doing... My step mum had her first at 16 and cause she was so young there were serious complications. And The baby passed away during birth. Please dont get pregnant at 16... I know alot of people do and are amazing parents and wouldnt change any of it for the world. But my boyfriends mum would. She had hers a few days after her 16th birthday, she has NO qualifications, at all. And her son got taken away by her mum because she was so young!!
Just think about it! I wish I finished college and lived a little first!

You are still very young, and sometimes to regulate your periods may take a couple of years. I would suggest you to see an GYN. Birthcontrol will help to regulate your AF. Have you gone to see if you have any other underline problems? Maybe cyst? My cycles were always irregular, and they came when they wanted to. I am TTC with my dh now, and well I found out I have PCOS. It has to do with hormones that are slightly off. Which cause my AF to be irregular and which is giving me a hard back trying for a baby. See a doc and let them know your concerns. You have a long time ahead of you trying to have a baby, but I am happy to see that you are listening to your body and that you are on the right steps.

No it does not mean you cannot get pregnant, even though i would highly highly suggest that if you are thinking about getting pregnant now, that you wait until you are really for sure ready. I'm 20, pregnant am nervous as can be. I had alot of friends when i was your age that had babies and ended up regretting having them so early as it effected school and social stuff with your friends.

i was always sort of irregular when i was younger and didn't even out until i was 19 and came off of birth control after I had gotten married.
