Why are you in such a hurry to have kids at that age?

Anyway, if it bothers you so much, go to the doctor and get checked out.

You do know you will be paying child support for the next 18-21 years if you break up... so why not get married first. Its mostly a function of luck and timing anyway.

You could always see your doctor for a semen analysis so that you can ease your worry and know if there is anything that may need to be addressed. Also, important to note, some women will find it difficult to become pregnant even if they have had a child before. Secondary infertility happens enough so women do sometimes find that they also will need to have some testing done to see if a cause can be determined.

It can take many healthy couples a year or more to become pregnant, and that is with actively trying to become pregnant, which most often includes the woman having determined when she is most likely to be ovulating. There are various means to do this, but it often takes at least a few months to see a pattern that is reliable enough to follow. Testing usually starts after a couple has been trying for at least a year. As smoothy said, it is often down to luck and timing.

It is often a matter of timing and luck... but a simple semen analysis will check your sperm, sperm court and health. Test is easy, and quick.

Toni and I had to work hard, for almost 2 years for her to get pregnant, we timed her ovulation with medical testing ( online charts not always right) withheld sex during less fertile times and sex on high fertile days.

Susan got pregnant, first time we had sex. * you never know

Also, just because she had one child also does not mean everything is also OK with her now.. So her being checked, is also a good idea.

But I will ask, at 22, already a child in the home, why in the hell do you want another one, already,at this young age.
