Right so I'm 18 years old, I hade the contraceptive implant put in September 2010 and taken out march 2011 since then me and my boyfriend have been trying to conceive but with no luck I'm starting to get really worried and was wondering if it is just not the right time or could I go to my GP and ask them to check my fertility? Thank you

Six months of unsuccessful trying is enough to go back to your OB/Gyn for a discussion.

But I have to wonder that you are putting so much pressure on yourself. At 18 I wonder how much time you have been with your boyfriend. And why are you so intent on having a child without getting a commitment from the father.

It can often take a healthy couple a year or a year and half to conceive. It does not happen each time. But of course you can have YOU and HIM both checked, don't assume it is YOU.

Next are you tracking your most fertile times, are periods regular. Is sex being done during most fertile times mainly.
