I'm 20 years old I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 years now and it just won't happen I went on fertal-aid didn't do a thing but make me feel sick. I get my period every 4 months or so on and off most of the time.
Please tell me what you may think I can do

You've been trying to get pregnant since you were 16? I'm assuming there is a story behind that. Are you married? Do you have a support system set up if you do get pregnant?

Bottmline is you need to talk to your OB/Gtn and set up a plan.

I have a similar problem I am also 20 and my fiancé and I are trying to conceive, I too have tried fertialaid and had no luck I have a period if I'm lucky every 6 months or so, I've even went 10 months without a cycle, going months without a cycle is not health for your body and can be potentally dangerous, I strongly suggest you talk to your ob/gyn and find what the underlying problem is, before you continue trying to get pregnant. In my case I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian symdrome) it took me almost 6 months of testing for everything under the sun before they found and tested me for this, your ob/gyn will help find answers and set a plan of action just go see them

Since you only get you period every 4 months, I'd suspect PCOS. Have you ever had your hormones checked? Ever talked to a doctor about any of this? Do you have symptoms of pcos like acne, are you overweight, have too much hair in places you don't want it? Why don't you look at the website pcos.insulitelabs.com to see what you think of the symptoms described there. I think they have a pretty nice website and it might help you decide what you need to do to solve your issue.

Good luck,
