I know a lot of people have said see a doctor - but you must think that means starting IVF or anything.  They will give you a scan to make sure all looks ok inside & the will take blood to make sure your hormones are doing their job & check you are ovulating.\n\nThe can also do a procudire (I cant remember the name) to put dye in your bits & picture it, which has the added effect often of clearing out little blockages.\n\nif non of that works & your man has a test to make sure his sperm swim the right way then you can have drugs to help you ovulate but not go ddonw the IVF route.\n\nGood luck.

If you're sterile your options are not have kids, have your partner artificially inseminated (sp) with some sperm from a donor, or adopt.  Just because it isn't your genetic material that's being used doesn't make you not the dad.

I got pregnant while having NO periods.  Twice.  \n\nI used to skip periods 9 months to a year at a time.  It is called Amenorrhea.\n\nhttp://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=6993\n\nAnd I wasn't using birth control (my husband and I weren't trying to or NOT to get pregnant... we were letting whatever happened happen).\n\nHowever, I didn't and don't have an STD.\n\nShe CAN get pregnant barring any good reasons she isn't (such as damage to her reproductive system, sterility, etc).

It may be difficult to get pregnant because if you don't have a regular period, you may not be ovulating properly.  One common cause of irregular or no periods is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).  PCOS is an endocrine system disorder linked to insulin function that causes an overabundance of male hormones.  5-10% of women have it.  Other symptoms of PCOS can include acne, being overweight, thinning hair, male-pattern body hair growth, dark patches of skin (hidradenitis suppurativa), insulin resistance, or infertility caused by lack of ovulation.  However, the most common and noticeable symptom is irregular periods.  I had only 3-4 periods a year when I was diagnosed with it.  Your gynecologist can do blood work to test your hormone levels and see if you may have it.  Fortunately, many women with PCOS can get pregnant with proper treatment.

Are you stressed? That can have an effect on your ability to get pregnant. Also if you are have intercourse all the time, you may want to cut back to every other day. I had a friend who had a hard time conceiving and she had to check her cervical mucus and temperature before she could get out of bed and when the time was right, they could have intercourse. It worked because she has a 1.5 year old! Not to infer that you/your partner would have an STD, but if you do, that can create all kinds of fertility issues and possibly make you sterile. Go to the doctor and make a plan - I'm sure they can get you some answers. Hope this helps!

You can only get pregnant if you've started having your period, and you're having sex. If you're 10 and you haven't had your period yet, your body isn't old enough to start making babies yet.\nI wonder why you're even asking this question in the first place?\nPS: the only way to get pregnant is by having sex, or having a "special" operation. If anyone is pregant without having sex we might have another Virgin Mary on our hands. Which is very very unlikely.

the pill is very unhealthy to woman...stop taking it...if you don't want to get pregnant because you are not married don't have sex...if you are married consider natural family planning...it will help you to discover when your body is able to conceive and when it can't..(your body gives you signs)....stop hurting your body because you don't want to give birth to a beautiful baby...its not right to the child that you could have and its not right to you

I have the same problem.  I'm 31 with 2 kids, and my periods have never been right since.  The cycle is shorter and the periods last longer.  Bummer.

She may be "late" for various reasons..Stress, health etc, etc.  BUT you may well be on the way to becoming a father..\nI suggest a visit to the family planning clinic or similar type organisation, or buy a home pregnancy test kit BUT dont take the results of a kit seriously until you get them confirmed by a professional like a nurse or Doctor.\nIf you are really worried talk to an adult you respect & trust & ask them to help you..a teacher, uncle/Aunt Friends parents, Dr, etc, etc

It's possible; not due necessarily to the birth control. You could have been infertile in the first place. If you are going to try to conceive, you and your partner could get examined if you are concerned about fertility issues.

Hun you should seriously get a pregnancy test if you are sexually active if you aren't go to the doctor anyway because there is something defiantly wrong\n\ngood luck

Are you using a different type of birth control? How old are you? Have you had unprotected sex?\nThese answers would have been helpful. Continue getting pregnancy tests if your period doesn't come.\nThat happened to me and I miscarried. The pregnancy tests were negative, but it was a very early pregnancy.\nIf you don't want to get pregnant, find a birth control and definitely use condoms.

Check out a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I'm pretty sure that's the title. It helps you read the signs so you know when you ovulate and helps you decide the best time for intercourse. \n\nThere's also a book called The Fastest Way To Get Pregnant Naturally.\n\nIf you've been trying for more than a year, you may want to see a specialist to rule out any fertility problems.\n\nAnd in answer to the lady's question below: 5 children is NOT enough! I have 7. :-)

You may have less sperm than usual, but you will still have enough to get someone pregnant.  Your body is always making sperm.  I don't believe you can run out.

My first question is does your wife or has she ever gone to the OB-GYN?  Because her doctor (if she has one) should be able to help her with her irregular cycle.  And if her and her previous partner were trying to have a child...did she go to the OB-GYN then to figure out why her cycle is so outta whack!?!  Yes I suppose she could've gotten pregnant...since she never seems to menstruate (lucky her) you dont quite know when she is ovulating (if she can in fact even have children.) But the only real way to tell is by her going to the OB-GYN!!!
