Contraception and VD/Can't get pregnant.

Expert: DW - 8/28/2009


Question
I'm 23 years old, healthy and have an active lifestyle. I stopped taking the pill about 18 months ago, we really want to start a family but i cannot fall pregnant. My partner is 33 years old and he already has two children. Do you think i should be worried?

Answer
18 months is a long time but I would try not to stress out. There might be some problem with one of you that would prevent pregnancy but I am not a doctor. Have you consulted your physician?
There used to be an expert on allexperts.com who knew about Natural Family Planning. This might be helpful if you can find her. I think her name was Bridget. Other than that, do a search on the internet about NFP or Natural Family Planning. Good luck!
