You can go to the doctor and check everything. My friend got pregnant a month ago but she went last year in May to the doctor and checked if everything is fine with her, checked whitch vitamins does she lack etc.

Yep- get checked out- but don't worry until you have to. The no pregnancy during erratic pill taking isn't necessarily a sign of infertility because even though you weren't taking the pill as ordered- you still did have those hormones in your body and doing their job.

Have you been checked for endometriosis?

I've often wondered the same thing about myself. There have been times where I haven't taken the pill as faithfully as I should have and haven't ended up pregnant. I also get ovarian cysts on one of my ovaries which can cause scar tissue and affect fertility, so I have the same worries as you do.

I have terrible issues with endometriosis and endometrial adhesions. It never prevented me from getting pregnant but caused miscarriage.

You should definitely get checked honey. Good luck

If it helps you any, I am a very active 39 year old woman who became pregnant last year after trying for years with my now late husband.

I became pregnant within 4 months.

Just get a basic check-up and stay active. I'm currently on the pill myself. ( hopefully dh gets that vasectomy sooner rather than later.)

I used to worry about the same thing and I am just like you when it comes to remembering to take that stupid little pill. Some how (thank God) I never got pregnant!!! My DH has 3 kids...so I don't believe there is anything wrong with his plumbing. I often wondered if there was something wrong with me though because none of the skids were planned and as many times as I have missed taking my pill....I have never ended up prego. Now I think it's kind of a blessing....as I am unsure whether I really want children or not anymore. But I did go to the doctor and ask him about it. He said everything was up and running and that whenever I decided that I wanted to stop taking the pill (if I ever do) there should be no problem conceiving! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!

many many many years ago - when I was 22 and married the doctor told me that I should go off of the birth control pill because I had been taking it since I was 17. She told me it would be difficult for me to get pregnant because I had been taking the pill for years and started at a young age. So, I went off of the pill because I planned on having children in a couple more years. I then went to another doctor within a month after that and he told me that was bullshit and wrote a prescription for the pill, I was already pregnant.

I think the less you worry about it the better chance you have of getting pregnant. I do know women with endometriosis and endometrial adhesions and they have had children, I feel for them though, it seems to be a very painful medical condition(the endometriosis not pregnancy).

I was in the same boat. THE EXACT SAME BOAT! I had always 'felt' that I couldn't have kids. I was on the pill from 13 (due to medical issues) to 28-29. I wasn't great at taking them and that fueled the belief that I couldn't have kids. Then, at 26 I found out I'm polycyctic. So, I became even more irresponsible about taking the pill. At 29 I became pregnant at a very bad time in my life. I had the procedure. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't regret that decision.

Don't worry. Don't become complacent. Go to the doctors and get yourself checked out.

Isn't endometrios painful? I believe it causes pain during sex.

As for wondering if you're fertile or not, of course it wouldn't hurt to see a doctor, but you might want to know the ins and outs of fertility to begin with. Get the book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

Many doctors - yes, for reals, doctors - will not give you the amazingly helpful information that is in this book. They want to pigeonhole all women into a 28 day cycle (ovulate day 14) and that's just now how the world works. Check it out. It should be required reading for everyone with ovaries.
