i really want to have a baby with my boyfriend
we have been trying since we moved in together and for a bit before that
we have been living togther for going on 3 months now
we have tried everything
eating healthy
sex daily but nothing seems to be working
we feel so strongy towards one another and i have wanted a baby with him for a long time.... but no matter how hard we try we dont succeed
my body has been coming off of the depo shot for the past month and ive already had 2 periods this month. we want to have a baby this young so we can watch it grow up and then were not so old when our grandchildren come around. i dont want to be like those older mothers either who wait till theyre 30 etc.
but now my breasts are very sore and tender and my moods and eating habits have changed. is this a sign that im already pregnant or that my body is ovulating. everythings perfect right now and what would make it better is if we have a baby. any ideas?

I AM NOT LOOKING FOR INSULTING COMMENTS ON WHY WOULD I WANT A BABY AT MY AGE ETC.......... JUST ADVICE

Make sure you're financially and emotionally ready. Baby's are not cheap, you've got to be ready to say goodbye to a multitude of things and cutting back on many others. They're also emotion/energy vacuums. There's no more you time once the little one comes, there's only baby time. You and dad's feelings and life no longer matter, just the baby and it's itty bitty needs (:

Sadly, most pregnancy and period sign are the exact same. I wish there was an easier way to tell other than waiting to see if your period stops or til your tummy expands. My best advice, stop trying and just do it. Don't focus on getting pregnant. Once you relax and just hope you're increasing your chances, you can't force the fertilization to happen and stressing over it doesn't help at all.

You've only been off your shot for a month though you say, so really you've got to wait like another month for your hormones to regulate themselves. 1-2 months is usually how long you need to wait.
Here's to hoping your new family!

EDIT: Get an obgyn too if you haven't already, they've got more help to offer (:
