I’m so scared of being infertile

@Emma thank you so much, I’m glad someone else understands ❤️ feels so silly being so frightened of a problem I don’t know I have. Thanks for the advice lovely- best of luck to you and your husband!
We started trying when I was 26 cause I had the same fear and thought best to start trying younger so we have time on our side. Honestly you won’t know unless you try go in open minded try not to stress. I fell pregnant after 3 months xx
I think it’s normal to have some doubts. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself and allow it to take some time!
Same here 😫 I’ve only been TTC since February and I’m overthinking and scaring myself. My mum has PCOS and some other hormone issues and was told she could never have kids (she ended up having 3, I was the 1st miracle baby 😇) but that’s always played on the back of my mind and I’m scared it could be inherited ☹️
It’s normal to be worried, I definitely was. One of the best things i did was pay to have all my hormones etc tested and we got my partner tested too. All came back normal then i could relax x
It’s highly unlikely you are infertile. Are you having regular periods? If so, you know you’re ovulating. Track your cycles by using OPKs and BBT, so you know when you’re ovulating. That being said you can do everything ‘right’ and still only have 20% chance of conceiving each cycle. It can take up to a year for a couple with no fertility issues. If it doesn’t happen after a year you and your partner can go to your GP for testing. Try not to worry, and don’t put pressure on yourselves x
This is really hard and I know how you feel. I’m 31 and my husband the same and the internal fear is debilitating. My best advice is that you’re still really young (in child rearing terms) so if you do have issues you have time on your side! I think not to be too worried about it. I believe on average it takes a couple a year to conceive.
