Q: Am I Infertile?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on July 18th, 2006

Well i have been having unprotected sex on and off for about 2 years with my boyfriend. I got pregnant in November and had a miscariage in December. Since then i went on birth control for about a week and then got off it on and off for about 3 months. Since then i havent gotten pregnant. I tried for 2 months to get pregnant. I havent been on birth control for 3 months and i had sex on my suposed ovulation day and i have been having sex almost everyday... But still nothing has happen. Im just wondering if there is something wrong with me and i cant get pregnant. I guess you should also know that in the past i have had pelvic pains that happen every once and a while.

So my question is, Do you think im infertile and i cant get pregnant and i should be worried? Could i have a disease? Will i ever get pregnant again? Is there something i can do help get me pregnant?

Thanks

There are many possible causes that may explain your current symptoms. Firstly, you have been pregnant and miscarried once already. Second, one of the side effects of birth control pills is lack of ovulation after coming off them. Women usually need a few moths to establish their ovulation again. You can hope to get pregnant in the following months. If nothing happens, you can go to your gynecologist together with your boyfriend. You can both be examined...he for his sperm count, and you for hormonal function. Your gynegologist can help explain all of the examinations required to investigate the health of the reproductive system.
