I'm 27 years old and in good health. I have 2 issues though. My first one is the fact that I'm wondering if I can actually get pregnant. I started using the pill when I was 21, but had been having sex with my boyfriend since I was 18. We only used the "pull out" method for prevention. I quit taking the pill after 3 years, when I was 24, because I never could remember to take it in the first place. Anyway, I've been with 7 different men throughout my life, all of which I was in a relationship with, none of which I've ever used any other method of prevention than the "pull out" method. I've never gotten pregnant. I know this method is risky. Extremely risky at that. The chances of getting pregnant are extremely high, but I've never gotten pregnant. My boyfriend now and I have been talking about me getting back on the pill, just to be safe, but we are also wondering if I'm actually even able to get pregnant since I haven't yet and have not really been using a very effective prevention method. Is there a way to check and see if I'm even able to conceive? Any thoughts?

My next issue is that right after my periods end, I have this horrible odor. There is a slight discharge, but that is normal even when it's not after my period. The odor is very strong though and I have no idea what causes it or how to make it go away. It stays with me for about 2 to 3 days after my period. What causes this and how do I prevent it? :confused:

Strange odor is commonly a sign of an std. you should see a dr right away. Especially since you say you've never used any other method of protection. If you've never used condoms and you've been with a few guys then it is very possible that you could have picked up an std and some stds are known to cause infertility. So if you've never been tested or its been awhile, go get tested right away. You might be infertile or you might have just been lucky so far. The dr should also be able to do tests to check if you can conceive
