New to the site, and have some questions

I am 20 years old, and i'm not sure that I could get pregnant, even if I want to. I was molested when I was 7 years old, and got gonorrhea. But they caught in time to get rid of it. I was wondering if that could've made me infertile? I'm not sure how long I had it for, but I'm guessing that it wasn't too long. And one of the effects is infertility. I'm not trying to have a kid at the moment. But I had unprotected sex a lot when I was younger. Thank God nothing happened, but I don't think it's luck anymore, I think it could be bad. I can't afford to get a fertility test, because I have no insurance, and it's soo expensive. Does anyone have any ideas? I would appreciate anything at the time. i guess i'm just a little worried....Thanks!

Since you are not trying to get pregnant right now, I would try not to worry about it. I would assume that you can and use protection accordingly. It not only protects you against pregnancy, but also diseases. If you do not have health insurance, most county health departments have womens' clinics where you can get your annual check ups and birth control. They generally charge on a sliding fee scale based on you income. I don't think a doctor would even consider doing any fertility tests unless you had been activiely trying to get pregnant and were unsuccessful.
