still trying

[sha_asked21]

WELL WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD I HAD MY FIRST CHILD. AND I GOT PREGNANT AGAIN WHEN I WAS 19, AND I GOT AN ABORTION AND IT WAS THE WORST THING I HAD TO DO, BUT THEY HAD TO TAKE MY BABY BECAUSE IT WAS BORN IN MY TUBES. THAT WAS VERY HARD FOR ME. WELL I AM 21 NOW AND I JUST GOT MARRIED TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE LAST YEAR. HE IS 24, WELL TO GET TO MY POINT, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET PREGNANT FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW, WITH NO LUCK. I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO FAMLIY AND FRIENDS ABOUT THINGS THAT WE CAN DO, LIKE THE GERITOL THING AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. BUT IM REALLY SAD BECAUSE WE JUST GOT A BRAND NEW HOUSE WITH 5 BEDROOMS AND WE WANT TO START OUR FAMLIY NOW AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET PREGNANT. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN TRY?

THANKS FOE YOUR COMMENTS

If you had an ectopic pregnancy in the past, it could have left some scar tissue on one of your fallopian tubes.  This will reduce your odds of being able to conceive.  I'm not saying it won't happen, it's just if you only have 1 "good" fallopian tube, then your chances are not as high as the average.  If you have been TTC for 2 years, then you definitely need to see a fertility DR.  They can give you and your DH a proper DX and begin any treatments that you may need.  Best of luck to you!

pse see a dr could be that that abortion may have affected you in some way or another and if the problem is not with you then talk to your partner so that his sperm count can be checked.
good luck

Have you been to a doctor? It is usually suggested that, after a year of trying with no positive results, you should see a doctor for a workup to see if there is a problem with your reproductive system. Good luck!
