So Ive been with my boyfriend for 3 years now, we've been trying for 2 years. It's been unsuccessful and I am getting worried. I'm 19 years old, smoker, don't drink much, and don't do any other drugs. I've taken Plan B pill once and now is regular on my period. What's wrong? Please help me :(

Are you married? Why do you want to be pregnant unwed? I'm making a guess that you're not married cos you said boyfriend.

heeheehee, no offense. One thing about getting pregnant, you will have less positive chances if you are eyeing on it, the reason is simply stress, internal stress. Just relax.

dont wory hun! my sista in law had the same trouble, she were having trouble getting pregnant for 5 years.being asian we all thought the problem was her but it turned out my bro in law had a low sperm count, have you been to the docters yet? if you want to check how fertile you are theres a test you can buy from boots, think its called fertel or something. talk to your docter also and invest in some ovulation tests so that your trying on the right days.plus start having pregnacare tablets for folic acid and vitamins now itll help boost your fertility

It could be psychological in that you are unconsciously thinking that you and he should be married before you get pregnant. It could also be that there is something wrong inside and you should get checked by a doctor. You might not have any eggs or there might be a blockage somewhere. I do know that there are certain diseases that are silent and do not cause pain until later when it is too late. And you or your boyfriend may have gotten them and not known about it. It also could be the pills have made you less resistant to infections. It also could be your boyfriend has a low sperm count. Anyway I would go to the doctor and have yourself checked out because if there is something wrong, then your chances of getting it fixed would be greater sooner or later. And get your boyfriend to see the doctor as well.

It could be. My first daughter-in-law has two children, but in between them, she thought she was pregnant. She released the egg but there was nothing inside, so she had all the symptoms of pregnancy, but she really was not. Her periods stopped, etc. so if that is happening to you, you should see the doctor. The eggs release once a month and sometimes they are empty so the sperm does not take. But really you should see a doctor. He or she will probably get more tests for you and see what is wrong. It is much easier now then it used to be. When I was trying to get pregnant, it was at the time when abortions were becoming available and no one cared about women wanting to get pregnant only the opposite. There was only one doctor that specialized in fertility in our city (a large city by the way), but his heart was not in it. Now you can get help.

Is it possible that I don't release eggs and still have regular period cycle? Please tell me, that seems to interest me. And also thank you for your help. But I am very interested about the release of eggs.

Are you charting your cycles? Making sure you're trying on your most fertile days? If not, then that's where you should start. There is really only a very small window in each cycle in which you can conceive. Most Doctors will want you to try that way (knowing you're hitting your most fertile days) for at least a year before doing any testing. Go to http://www.fertilityfriend.com and take their free online charting course. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I know, everyone say I'm young to be thinking about pregnancy and yes I do agree. It's just this little voice in my head when he accidentally released inside and from there I didn't have my period for about 7 months I believe and all of a sudden I got my period. It frightened me that I wasn't able to conceive and my grandparents met all of my nieces and nephews and I'm the only grandchild they have left that has no kids yet. It would just suck if they don't get to meet my child that's all. But thank you for your concern though :)
