Patient's question:
I have been cohabiting with my boyfriend for six months and have never taken any contraceptive measures, but I haven't gotten pregnant. Am I infertile?Follow-up question: Although I work in this field myself, I feel that I'm too young to be infertile. I have had my estrogen levels checked and found them to be low, but I haven't had any other tests done.
Doctor's answer:
First, having sex during cohabitation doesn't necessarily lead to pregnancy, after all, if you do it during the safe period every time, it's difficult to get pregnant even if you want to! Second, there are many people who haven't been pregnant for over three years, and it's not infertility, it's just the timing is wrong! In fact, pregnancy mainly occurs around a few days before and after the ovulation day during the ovulation period! And the ovulation day is not necessarily regular! Even if the menstrual cycle is very stable, there can still be a 1 to 3 day error in ovulation time! So, if pregnancy doesn't occur during these times, it's impossible to get pregnant! Moreover, if there is a small amount of semen entering or the fertilized egg fails to implant, it's even more impossible to get pregnant! So, your situation is also normal!
