Question - (6 October 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 8 October 2010)
A female age 30-35, *imi7682 writes:

Hi, I am young and I want a baby, we have a decent income and a home but i am having a very hard time getting pregnant but I do have a monthly cycle. I am even beginning to get depressed but I am often ok because I do understand that i have time because I am only 18. The big fear is really "AM I FERTILE". What types of medicines do i take if I'm not ovulating. No IVF im too young for that but at this point I am very determined to go see my OB/GYN. I don't want to be 30+ trying to concieve I want 5 children. Me and my fiancee has both discussed our future and we do understand the finance behind it. That's not the issue the isseue is me and in this case I know it is me. I often look at sites trying to figure out the problem. I've had clamiyda twice not by my fiancee but never had it long my body is very alert. So therefore i have never had PID and im not having any problems now. So what is wrong with me???? People please help....

k_c100 agony auntWe are not doctors I'm afraid so we cannot tell you what is wrong! But if you have been trying for a year, then BOTH you and your partner need to see a doctor and they can run some tests on your fertility. It could be you, or it could be him. There is no way of telling until you go to a doctor and they run some tests on both of you.

There are a million different things that could be wrong, like your partner could just naturally have a low sperm count, or you might have ovarian cysts, or problems with your womb......but there is no point in speculating on the internet what might be wrong when there are qualified medical professionals out there who can tell you for certain what the problem is.

Please visit your doctor!

yaytentacles agony auntIf you've had chlamydia twice, there's a very high risk of you being infertile as chlamydia is oftentimes symptomless. I'd definitely go to a doctor and have a fertility test.

k_c100 agony auntWell how long have you been trying to concieve for? Generally if you have been trying for less than a year your doctor will send you away because getting pregnant can take time, for some people it can happen instantly and for others it can take years. So unless you have been struggling to get pregnant for over a year then all I can suggest is just be patient.

Have you been on birth control in the past? Most doctors will advise you that it can take around 6 months for birth control to get out of your system fully - so if you have stopped taking birth control recently then again, patience is needed and just wait for it to be out of your system fully.

One other thing you can do - buy an ovulation kit. They sell these along with the pregnancy tests in drug stores/pharmacies/chemists (whatever you call it in your country!). This will tell you what time of the month you are ovulating so you will know when you are at your most fertile, hence you can plan to have sex around this time of month.

With the Chlamydia, I dont understand this whole "my body is very alert" thing. Chlamydia often has no symptoms and can take a while for you to figure out you have got it, so did you catch the Chlamydia early and get it treated quickly by the doctor? If you had it for a while without knowing, and have had it twice, then it could have affected your fertility.

You also need to consider your boyfriend's fertility - he may have the issue, not you. Does he smoke or drink a lot of alcohol? Does he take drugs? Is he fit and active, or overweight? Does he have a lot of stress in his life? Generally the 3 big causes of male infertility are smoking, heavy drinking and stress. So if he has a lot of any of those in his life he needs to try and change his lifestyle to help you get pregnant.

If none of this works, and after a year you still have not concieved, then you need to visit your doctor.

I hope this helps and good luck!
