Question Me and my boyfriend have unprotected sex all the time but i have not become pregnant yet. Is this a sign that i can't have kids?
Im scared....Please Help
Answer Dear La'Shawn,
No. it is not in any way, shape, or form a sign that you cannot have kids. It takes the average, FERTILE couple 6 months to 1 year to conceive. Doctors recommend waiting until at least a year of trying to get pregnant has passed, before seeing a fertility specialist.
So, unless you are financially and emotionally prepared to become parents, you and your boyfriend should get some birth control ASAP.
