I just started taking the pill recently,
but before that I had been having
unprotected sex with my boyfriend for well
over a year (i know, I know...Not the
smartest thing to do) and never became
pregnant. Does this mean that there is a
good chance one of us is infertile?
I was just wondering, because I know a
couple is clinically declared "infertile"
if having tried for a year straight to
concieve does not have any success.
By the way, we aren't trying to
conceive...It's just that I haven't after
such a long time.

Trying for a year would have meant 12
months of having intercouse during your
most fertille days. Most people
determine their fertile days by using
ovulation tests.
My guess is that during the past year you
were having sex whenever the mood hit you,
rather than during your most fertilie
days. Some of the times may have been
during fertile days and some may have
not.
My point is...You may not have actually
had intercourse during your fertile days
for the past 12 months.
If your periods are regular...It's more
than likely you just had sex during "safe"
days.

We had sex on a weekly basis, before and
after my period.
Not everyday, but still... The
only time we didn't have sex was during my
period, unless it was unusually light (and
I only remember that happening once)...
I don't know, it still scares me to think
about it.

Theoretically, under the definitions of
infertility.
12 months of trying is technically
labelled as having infertility problems.

my husband have been trying now for 2
years and I just found out that I have
pcos and I cant get pregant so hun I wish
you all the best

Ashley no offence but will you stop going
round saying people with pcos carnt get pg
as they can it may be abit harder but with
help and naturally they can I should know
I have got it and had my dd naturaly and
im currently ttc number 2 I have alot of
friend a pcos ttc group that all ave had
kids so maybe your infertility has got to
do with something else or you just dont
know you can get pg I just dont want you
going round on a forum perhaps scaring
alot of ladies with pcos making them think
they will be infertile with pcos because
you most certanly can get pg with pcos its
just a little harder dont mean to seem
hard I just dont want you scaring someone
who may have just been dx with pcos half
to death
