pebble agony auntI think the usual amount of time in the Uk before you can get help for fertility problems is 12 months. You may have only ovulated once during that 7 seven weeks so really it's no big deal at all. For some people it can take a long time, for others a short time. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with any of them.

You're lucky though, if you don't want a baby then use some contraception. Because seven weeks is a long time to be silly and eventually it will happen.

Ginalolabridga agony aunt7 weeks is maybe a little to early to tell, i would give it more time we are all different and will fall pregnant at different times give it a little bit more time and dont get so anxious this can hamper things if your overly anxious just relax and let it happen that is when it will!

satindesire agony auntSeven weeks?! That's NOT a long time to try and get pregnant.

My husband and I tried for over TWO YEARS before we finally got pregnant. You are just overreacting hon. Sometimes these things take time.

I believe artistic bumble bee misunderstood the question She was not asking what are the chances of her having an Std and although she hasnt been trying to get pregnant shes been having unprotected sex and is now concerned about why she hasnt gotten pregnant so in a sense shes very happy but very sad and confused as to why was she able to have so much sex and not once get pregnant. . . well Hun artistic bumble bee was correct you should goto a doc so they can examine you and answer your question.

artistical_bumblebee agony auntfor sods sake go to a sex clinic.

you do not know who he has slept with, or what they have or what his partners partners have had and so on.

you could have anything, theres big chance you could already be infertile the longer you live it the riskier it gets.

go to a sex clnic or a hospital get checked out, then talk to the nurse about types of contraception like the deproveum, implant, pill, coil, patch.

as well as condoms.

if your serious about this lad get him checked out too, then if you don't like using condoms you are safe.
