just a little info to what im worried about: Ok, I want to have kids so bad.. its like the thing i feel would most complete me.. im engaged and we're already planning on starting to have a baby.. my problem is I'm WAY overweight and I haven't had my period in like 2 or 3 months.. (ive lost track) so im really concerned that because I'm so heavy and haven't had my period in so long, i cant have kids.. I'm also still young.. only 21.. does anyone know anything about any of this? I know I need to go to the doctors and should be asking them but its so much easier to ask people online.. its rather humiliating.. and the concern is killing me.. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks again!

Maybe this is a stupid question, but could you be pregnant already?

Hey wiredqs that might be something she might want to check out. An absent period for 3 months is NOT something to mess with and it is something that ought to be checked into. There could be several possibilties of what could be goping on from pregnancy to cysts.

Another thing relax on having a baby right now issue. My daughter had her firts at 33 yrs old and I was so happy to be a grandma and see her happy. At 21 focus on having time for yourself because once a child comes along you won't have time to spend freely or to just focus on yourself. I hope you get what you desire but in the mean time chill out.

First go to the doctor & get checked out. You need to know for sure that its not something serious. Next enjoy being engaged & married. After your married get your finances in order. Then think about having children a few years later. This advice is given to everyone we know. We want people to know that its not easy being married but it 10x's harder when a child is involved.

Trust me on this.
