Thread: Barren..? (sorry, guessed where this might go)

Hi

I'm a 21yr old girl and... where to start?

Ok umm, I've been on the pill since I was thirteen for immature ovaries. Off the pill my periods were irregular, crippling painful and I would go through 5 maturnity pads a day. So pretty horrid.
But because I only took it for health reasons (and my medical history isnt that shiny), I have never been really careful with it and kinda just take it whenever as long as i dont leave it for too long.

Which is stupid because I'm allergic to condoms.

I've never really paid attention until about a year ago when all my friends were getting pregnant by accident or raising kids or getting married. And it suddenly occured to me that I've was with one guy for a year and another (my current) for almost 3 years... and I've never even had a scare.
A lot of my mum-to-be friends have been 100 times more careful then I've been with protection - and yet they were the ones that got knocked up.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not ready to be a mum! Children scare me, i won't lie. In the last few weeks i've picked up my act and I've been more careful with my pills... but I still cant help but wonder:

And I just really lucky.... or am I barren?

What do you think?
No this isn't a joke post... this is something that leaves a dead weight feeling in my stomach and im finally picking up the courage to ask someone about it

To me it sounds like you could have some sort of endometriosis (which is only found on laproscopy) because of this my periods were irregular, crippling painful and I would go through 5 maturnity pads a day. It can also cause infertility. But you could just not be getting pregnant at this time. It's hard to know if its a medical issue or not because of your background or if your just not getting pregnant only one to know is a doctor who can get you some sort of medical work up and xrays as well some sort of laproscopy. But one day when your true to the bone ready and IF nothing happens could def be some sort of endometriosis or more going on that you won't have a choice but to find out. Wishing you well!
