My name is Megan and am about to be 21. I had bacterial meningitis when I was 6 months of age and was hospitalized for two weeks. My doctors and parents saved me - My question is this.

I'm married and do not want children. I have expressed to my doctor extreme paranoia about becoming pregnant, and i am on the depo provera shot. I had my female exam and he told me everything was fine, but previously, two months before, i was going on and on about my fears to him when he stopped me and told me that we'd have to get a manger out with three wiseman and the north star if i were to become pregnant. He had my husband stay behind and in confidence told him it was nearly impossible for me to become pregnant because I had scarred ovaries (my husband may have "ovaries" and "fallopian tubes" confused), and told my husband not to worry about me becoming pregnant (I know i am on depo though and it's pretty much impossible as is anyway). My husband didn't tell me this til a couple months after.

When I had my female exam, he told me everything was fine. I didn't ask him otherwise.

There are two things here: He could have lied to me because it seems to me that women have made a big deal about having children later on and he wants to give me hope because there isd a possibility, and he told my husband I had scarred ovaries and was being truthful. My doctor can be really iffy on this subject because i am excessively paranoid about pregnancy - I do not want children.

Now the big question here is COULD HAVING BACTERIAL MENINGITIS AS A BABY AT 6 MONTHS IMPAIR MY ABILITY TO HAVE CHILDREN? I highly doubt that a response could be fully diagnosed from the information I have provided, but just in general even, if anything, is that a possibility that bacterial meningitis can impact the ability to bear children?

If this information helps;
i was 5 pounds and 5/10 ounces when i was born, i am 5'2 and weigh about 90lbs now. i will me 21 on the 14th of August and am a tiny girl; when my mom was my age she was the same as me.

i wanted to find my medical records but cannot locate them - I do have bipolar disorder and we think that the meningitis could have played into that. I don't want to contact my doctor because i want an outside opinion.

If someone knows of anywhere I could call otherwise or knows of a source, or as any information, or if there is another way to find out for sure, please let me know. Or an opinion. this information is very important to me.
