unable to get pregnant?????

First off let me start by saying I am a 20 yr old female. My fiance and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 2 years. In the begining I had had a miscarriage and then a couple months after that I found out that I had had chlamydia. I don't know if this is the reason for me not being able to have gotten pregnant just yet. I am just worried. I really want to have kids. I'm just scared that I might be unable to. I don't make enough money to get medical insurance so I can't go to the gyno. I just don't know what else to do. I'm stressing myself out worrying about this. I just really want to get pregnant. Any information or input would be greatly appriciated. Like I said I just don't know what else to do. I've thought about trying one of the ovulation kits, I just don't know just how effective those things are. And I don't want to waste my money. So if you can help, please do. Thank You.

My MIL had STD when she was younger and eventually had 3 healthy boys who are all 20+ years old now.

Just because you can't get pregnant doesn't mean it's the side effect of an STD.
Some women, like myself and my mother, get pregnant just by so much as LOOKING at another male. lol
Other women it can take YEARS.

There are ovulation kits out there that will help you be more accurate on when you're ovulating so you have a better shot at getting pregnant.

One question though,
If you don't make enough money to optionally see a gyno-
why would you put yourself in a situation where you HAVE to see one?
I mean I'm just saying, no to come off a little or strong or anything, I just dunno if you ever thought about that.

There are such things as Pregnancy Medicaid which is out there but can be a REAL pain to get your hands on [[take it from someone whose hadda go through P.M. TWICE. lol]]

Nonetheless, I'm sure you'll figure it out, but take this time to plan carefully. We want to see all our Pregnant women and babies happy and thriving!!

I had my kid at 21, i am 22 now, but it took us two and a half years to have him. we never used any protection EVER. I dont have chlamydia,so it is not the same situation, but just wanted yo to know that there is still hope. we never used any calendars or kits or anything. just old fashion. Also i dont think we could have had our kid at a better time, so i think everything happens for a reason. whats meant to be will always find a way. : )

Im 20 as well and have experienced a miscarriage.  I used ovulation kits and got pregnant in 2 months of trying.  Did you go to the gyno after you found out you had chlamydia? Or do you still have it.  You can always go to the health department.  I have heard of Chlamydia messing up chances of getting pregnant but im not sure if it is a lasting effect.  You could chart your period and use an ovulation predictor online and see if that works before buying a test.  And dont get discouraged if it doesn't happen as fast as it did for me for you.  Getting pregnant isn't as easy as most people this it is.
