    Im 17 and cant get pregnant
    Before anyone judges this question here me out. Im 17 years old will be 18 next month. I have finished high school and I have a great job and an inheritance waiting for me for when I turn 18. Im with the most amazing man I have ever met and we are engaged to be married in October. The problem is that we have tried over and over again to get pregnant with absolutely no luck. A friend suggested the herbal supplements dong qui and chasteberry and I have been taking both. They have done WONDERS for cramps and regulating my menstrual cycle but I'm STILL getting a cycle which really worries me because I want to be a mother SO bad. It kills me to think I could never get pregnant. I study my cycle and Im doing everything I could possibly think of with no result. Life is so short and only I can know for sure that I'm ready and I do believe I am. Could it be we are trying too hard? Or some kind of horimone imbalance? Low sperm count? Any advice would be great.. Please help!

    First thing even a Dr. will tell you is to RELAX. I know easier said then done. Most times the body works it's best when you are relaxed. Many women get PG after drinking, as they are relaxed. I also suggest you go see your Dr. If you are even thinking of getting PG you should get a check up from your GYN just to be sure all is well - even if you were not having this issue. While you are there talk to him/her about this and take it from there.

    A doctor could tell you if you could get pregnant or not. You also could use one of those ovulation predicters they have at stores near the pregnancy tests

    How long have you actually been trying? Most couples will become pregnant within the first year of trying, but it can take some a bit longer, even when everything is fine. Doctors usually won't consider starting testing to rule out possible fertility concerns until you have been actively trying for at least a year.
    What are some things you have tried to determine when you are most likely ovulating?

    Oh please, 17 and "can't get pregnant" since it can often take a year or more, have you been trying since you were 15?

    How many family planning doctors have you been to. Are you timing your cycles to have sex only on the most fertile days and times.

    Have you and boyfriend been tested to see if there is any physcial problems, what is his sperm court
