Firstly I'm excited I found a forum with women in the exact situation I'm in
1) I'm in a monogamous relationship and been off of birth control for about 3 years. We're not trying to get pregnant but also not preventing it either, except the occasional pull out. Should I be worried about infertility? I have regular periods monthly. I have only been late a couple of times, only by about a week or two, but that could be because of diet and/or clotting or a million other things. I am 25 and he is 28. We have sex probably once a week, sometimes less, sometimes more. We're in no rush to have kids but I feel like after 3 years is a long time without even a possible pregnancy.
Basically, assuming we are both healthy and fertile, is it odd after 3 years there hasnt been a possible pregnancy? The only difference I can see between what we are doing and actually trying is the charts, maybe we don't have sex enough and like I said sometimes he does pull out.
2) Any idea how costly it is to see a doctor and be tested? I looked a little online and apparently there is all kinds of tests they can run. Is there a general test for females, something similar to maybe a sperm count?
He wants to wait another year or two, I wanted kids since last year, so letting nature decide seemed like a good compromise.
