Infertility? 19 year old? Help?

Question

I have a question.

I am 19 years old and got off the depo shot in november 2007 and me and my boyfriend has a healthy s*x life. (Everynight almost) so ..lets say 4 days a week on a bad week. I didnt have my period I think until Jan 2008 and have had it regular around same date every month. Do you think I am infertile because Im not pregnant. I dont know if he is sterile or not? I am so frustrated. We been together for 3 years and he is my best friend. It's funny beause he knows my body better than me. We are closer than your average couple. We tell each other everything and we go to the bathroom together except when its no. 2. I love him with all of my heart and feel bad because I want to bear(?) his children? Please Help?

Answer 1

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of trying for couples who have no children yet. You have been trying for less than a year, so technically you are not infertile. Also, Depo does not leave the body immediately, so you may just need more time. It can take up to 10 months for you to return to your natural level of fertility.

Answer 2

get married, your own place, you dont sound like you need a baby . Sounds like puppy love. Nothing real

Answer 3

It took me three year to get pregnant

I had a friend, her mother got married at 20, when she turn 40, gave up on having a child, at 42, she became pregnant, with my friend

I had a cousin, her doctor told her she had a 99% chance of not getting pregnant.  He also said that he have seen couple that should not get pregnant, and does.  Couples who should get pregnant, and do not.  Mu cousin, did get pregnant

You see, nothing could be wrong, but you are not suppose to have a child yet

You can see a doctor and see what he said

Enjoy being young

Travel, go to school, have fun

Trust you will have a child when it's time

It may be next year, or five, ten or more years from now

Answer 4

Your age is irrelevant.  It soooo annoys me when people make comments like that.  Just because you are younger than most doesn't mean you have less right to get pregnant.  As you said you have a steady job, good relationship etc.  Why shouldn't you go for it?!

I met my DH at 17, married at 19 (when I began TTC) and now I'm 23 and still no baby!

I don't think it's likely you are infertile.  I would suggest going to see your Dr. after 12 months of TTC. From when your periods became regular, so I say go Jan 09.  It seems ages away but it's not.

In the mean time look after yourself and your body and prepare it for a future pregnancy!

Good luck xOx

Answer 5

If you two are stable and ready for children, I see no problem in you trying to conceive. It isn't always easy for perfectly normal couples to have babies. It is unlikely that either of you are sterile. But if you are worried, he could always see and doctor to find out for sure. And try to have s*x at the most fertile time of the month for girls (roughly 2 weeks before your period is due)

Good luck hon

Answer 6

its not a rush, if you are supposed to have a baby it will happen in its own time. being on the depo can make it harder to concieve as its still in your body for a while afterwards so this may have played a part in it. but as you are now having regular periods, you should start to chart the days you are ovulating and use this to help you concieve. maybe have a chat with a doctor for medical advice. its unlikely you are infertile as most infertile couples will not have regular periods or any at all. i have suffered with pid, pcos and a bicornuate uterus all from the age of 17 and im now also 19, i was told i couldnt have children, my periods were completely messed up, but eventually they settled down like yours and i fell pregnant after one month of trying. im now 22 weeks gone. so it can happen. if you are both definately ready for a baby, have money and your own place etc, then dont give up and it will happen in its own time. luckily for me it happened straight away but others arent so lucky. it also depends how long you have been trying because it can take even healthy couples 6 -12 + months to get pregnant. its not usually one of those things that happen overnight. maybe consider a break from it and focus on other things, as constantly thinking about it makes it harder as this was the problem for me in the past. but when the times right and you are both 100% ready for a baby it will happen dont worry. good luck and make sure you are making the right choice as its harder than you would expect.
