i don't know if i can get pregnant

[brandnewtragedy]

When i was little from 8 to 13 i was molested by my stepdad, and i've tried to get pregnant several times, and its never happened, does it have anything to do with being molested or am i just messed up? I'd really like to have kids if not now, some day...but i'm not sure i can actually get pregnant i don't see why i haven't already i've tried everything. Whats wrong with me?

First, so sorry to hear you had to go through that with your stepdad.  When you say you've been trying, what measures have you taken?  Have you started BBT charting to make sure you ovulate, have "normal" cycles, etc? How long have you been trying?  It takes a while for a lot of people and unless you've been trying for about a year (if you're under 35) then don't assume you have a problem just yet.  If you're truly concerned, talk to your GYN.  I would get a good book on conception and fertility to make sure you are increasing your chances in every possible way.  Best of luck!
