Me and my boyfriend our planning on getting married next year and we are buying a place as well we want to try and have children as that's what we both really want we both have good jobs and with a place and being married it should all be good we are the perfect couple but there is one problem I always have funny periods I never know when the next one is going to be or how long it will last or how hevey it will be, plus we both had a std and got that sorted out and now I don't think I can have children how can I find out as I don't know what test to take or where to get them and I can't get an doctors appointment what can I do? I really have to know if I can have children or not.

There is no way anyone on line can give you that answer,your best bet is to see a doctor,to rule out infertility,that would include your fiancé as well.

It can take up to one year for some couples to become pregnant.

In the mean time,there are ovalating products on the market which will help you discover when you are most fertile.

What STD did you have that you don't think you can have children?

Clamidia why does that matter

clamidia why does that matter

It matters because some STDs, if left untreated, will cause infertility, others won't.

Now, Chlamydia is one that, left untreated, will cause infertility in a woman. How long did you have it before you were treated for it? Did the doctor clear you and make sure that the STD was indeed cured?

I don't know I did a test from home and they said I had it and I had a blood test and everything and got rid of that but they never told me how long I had it or anything I got rid of it at a std centre or family planning whatever you call these things

Have you been back for a re-check to make sure it is gone? Was your partner treated as well?

An OB/GYN can give you the proper tests to evaluate your fertility (Your partner must be checked as well)

Schedule a pre-conception appointment and he/she will discuss all of these things with you. Going to your doctor is an important first step to becoming responsible parents. It'll also give you a good opportunity to get to know your doctor and gather some great information.
