Desperate to give my boyfriend a child

Dear Pastor,

I am 18 years old and my boyfriend is 23. We are living together. I got pregnant but lost the baby. Since losing the baby, I have been trying to get pregnant again.

I don't know what is happening to me. Every time my boyfriend discharges in me, everything runs out. People told me that I am too anxious and that if I relax I will get pregnant again.

I cry all the time because I did not want to lose my baby.

My boyfriend had another girlfriend and she left him and found another man, and the man got her pregnant.

So I want my boyfriend to feel that he can get me pregnant and that this other girl doesn't have anything over me. Can you tell me why I am not getting pregnant again?

An old lady told me I should have sex with my boyfriend in the missionary position and raise my legs up. We did that for two months straight and I am still not pregnant.

Do you think something is wrong with me or my boyfriend?

E.B.

Dear E.B

You are 18 years old and you are not married. Therefore, I would not encourage you to get pregnant right now. What I would encourage you to do is to go to school and further your education.

You said you got pregnant some time ago and had a miscarriage. You should use this time to reflect and to do your best at school and do extra courses, if necessary, and plan intelligently for the future.

A child is not a toy. Do not try to bring pressure on this man to get you pregnant. And please do not yield to any temptation to go to another man and try to get pregnant by him.

Pastor
