Q: Am I infertile?

I am really confused, sad, and upset. I have been wit my boyfriend for 7 years and have been having unprotected sex for 5 years and have not gotten pregnant. At first we were not planning on me getting pregnant but it would be ok if i did. Now we want to get pregnant and I CANT!!!!! i do not know why? What is wrong with me?
I am now 23 years old but when I was 12 years old I had surgery where doctors removed my right fallopian tube and ovary. Then when i was 13 they noticed that my uterus was shaped like a heart as opposed to a pear. It had an extra "part" that was divided with a septum. I had surgery to remove the septum and the extra piece of uterus. Doctors sdaid I would be just fine.... wpmen concieve with one ovary all the time and my uterus was fine. I even remember my aunt asking a nurse if I would be able to have children whe I got older and she said " You shouldnt worry about having children right now.... you are only 13 years old"....... But now I am worried.... I have seen my doctor for abdominal pain and she did a sonogram of my abdomen..... they didnt see anything abnormal. I have not been to a gynocologist though. What could be wrong with me? Could I be infirtlie?
When I meet someone who is pregnant I hate them on the spot....... Cant stand them.Its jelousy I know.
Help!!!!!!

You need to see a gynecologist and possibly get some fertility testing done.

Good luck!

We can fully understand your frustration. I have been off bc pills for over 6 years but not actively trying. My husband and I have not been using anything for a few years now and nothing. Now we are actively trying and can't get pregnant. So I just wanted you to know that you are NOT alone. We are always here if you need to vent.

And, I agree with Ingi, you need to see a doctor. If you have not been to a gyno in a while, get an appointment and tell them that you are trying to get pregnant and you want to get a check up to see that you can in fact have a baby.

I agree with ingi and star.. get an appointment with a gyn and go from there.. I have had 2 laparoscopies for endometriosis, dermoids and cysts and was told that I would possibly never have any children.. I have had 1 successful pregnancy and am now trying for a second!! So anything is possible when you have the right help! even if you have to do invitro due to the fact of only 1 ovary...
