Hello,
If you append data, you should make sure each case has a single identifier. I see you use caseid in your code, and you have duplicates for caseid - it may be part of the problem. Could you also explain what your imp1.dta is? file is? As Tom suggested, you may remove the imputation section. I also do not see why you would impute age at first birth for women who have not had a birth; since they have not had their children, imputing their age at first birth may not be a relevant approach. Since you plan to use a logistic regression on the pregnancy status of adolescents, imputing age at first birth does not seem necessary.
Hope this helps.
