Thread: Worried

My boyfriend and I have been having sex for about three months now. Neither of us use protection and the sex is almost everyday. Although Im not purposely trying to get pregnant I am wondering why Im not. Im nineteen and perfectly healthy and my boyfriend had told me in his last relationship his girlfriend fell pregnant after not using a condom once and they had to get an abortion which ruined their relationship. Is there something wrong with me or is it normal not to get pregnant after this long?

If you are having unprotected sex every day, then you ARE purposely trying to get pregnant because you are not taking the responsible adult precautions to avoid it. Why is it that you want to get pregnant right now?

There are lots of reasons why you may not be getting pregnant. Perhaps your body isn't ready. Perhaps your luteal phase is too short and there is not enough progesterone to promote implantation. Perhaps you ovulate later in your cycle than what is normal, therefore your uterine lining is too "aged" by the time you ovulate to allow for healthy implantation. Perhaps you are not producing cervical fluid with fertile qualities therefore the sperm isn't traveling all the way where it needs to go.

The question is, are you prepared to be a single mother? Every girl thinks the guy will stick around but you guys are just dating, what makes you think he would? I hope you will consider protecting yourself in the future.
