Dont think i can have children?

Question

Im 22 years old and although my bf and I have never actually "tried" to get pregnant sometimes I just have a feeling that i cant? I really want children in a couple years when Im done with school but is it normal to have feelings that i cant?

Answer 1

I wouldn't worry too much about it, I mean your still young and aren't ready anyways. I honestly believe that when it supposed to happen it will. But if it bothers you that much then I would go to my Dr. and find out for sure.

Answer 2

Why don't you go to a doctor and let him check you both out.

Answer 3

I think lots of people think they will have trouble conceiving.   I guess because I knew that my mother had trouble, I thought I would have trouble too.  But I didn't have trouble and I now have two beautiful girls, one of whom is having her sixth birthday today. :)

Answer 4

It's often surprising to a lot of couples who initially didn't want to be pregnant to suddenly find out that getting pregnant isn't as easy as they thought it would be.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Thinking that you can't have kids doesn't mean that you can't.  I don't think there's any relation between the two.  To set your mind at ease, you can have yourself checked out by a doctor.

In the meantime, don't stress about it.  Even if you find out later on that it's difficult to get yourself pregnant, there are many new ways of making it happen.  Cross the bridge when you get there. ;)

Answer 5

The thing is , you have something else on your mind and it is difficult to think of children. Most people go through this when they want two things at the same time.Your able to have children but my advice to you is take time and remember that having a child is a big thing to have in your life. Take it slow and take a step at a time: finish school. Pleasure helping you. Jackie

Answer 6

I managed to stay "unpregnant" until I was married. I took the pill faithfully. Still, I wondered if I never had an accidental pregnancy because I was infertile. Once we decided to have kids, it took 2 months. The reason I did not have kids earlier was because I was neurotic about birth control.

Answer 7

trust me I know how you feel. My husband and I weren't necessarily trying when I did finally get pregnant. I have been wanting a child for so long and was so ecstatic to find out I was pregnant. Well my dream was short lived I had a miscarriage only 8 weeks into it. My doc advised me to wait til I got a normal period and we started trying then still no baby after almost 1 yr and half. We just now have been actuall trying and we will see...My husband has told me many a time that he thinks he cant get me pregnant I hope its not true...But I would go to the doc if you are worried thats what we are gonna do .... good luck

Answer 8

Oh no!!  The world is coming to an end!!!

Answer 9

I had the same feeling with my first boyfriend.  We were together for 8 years and were never really careful with birth control, and I never got pregnant.  With my next boyfriend I just assumed I couldn't get pregnant, so we were even less careful.  Nine months after we got together I ended up pregnant.

You may have just gotten lucky so far, or there may be a reason behind it.  Until you know you're ready, use protection.  When you know you're ready, try during ovulation for a couple of months.  If nothing happens talk to your doctors (both of you).

Answer 10

I was married in Jan 2004 and became pregnant in March 2007. While I wasn't "trying" to get pregnant I wasn't trying not to either. I had started to wonder the same thing as well.

You can always go get checked if you are concerned. What helped me was I went on birth control for 3 months to regulate my cycle for a bit. Got pregnant the first month off the pill.

Answer 11

It is most likely your nerves talking. You just might not be ready. I dated a guy for 3 years. After one we stopped using protection and I never got pregnant. Later, I dated a guy and had a mishap after 4 months and boom 9 months later came Mackenzie. I didn't think I could have kids and now I do and I love it. I had her at 22. Now I am 24 with a fiance and a daughter.

Answer 12

My friend is the same way. She has been with her hubby for YEARS and they have been married just over a year and aren't ready to conceive but are thinking about it and she's always been paranoid about not being able to get pregnant. I wouldn't stress out about it and if you are really worried, have your dr check you out.
