infertile?

I am 24, and have been having very regular unprotected intercourse with my partner for the last year and a half. But have not ended up pregnant.. I am really worried I am unable to become pregnant :(. My period is regular as clockwork, always has been, and I don't lead an unhealthy lifstyle. I was silly as a teenager and didn't use protection with any of my partners, please don't lecture me on that! I know i was stupid! Lol. My point is though that I never ended up pregnant accidentally (a good thing at the time obviously), which is a worry now that I do want children :(
Is there something wrong with me? :'(

It's worth a visit to your doctor to discuss your medications and possible fertility side effects. Your doctor can also check your hormone levels and run a few tests to make sure nothing is impeding your chances of pregnancy. Also look into ovulation predictor tests because those will tell you your most fertile time of the month with more accuracy than just charting on a calendar. Regular lubricants can hinder fertility as far as slowing sperm down, so that can be a factor too.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for the comments :) we have been having sex more frequently during what I think is my fertile window, and nothing. Is it possible for fluoxetine to effect my chances of getting pregnant? I have been on it for the last few years so I guess Im ready to wean off them if necessary

There is only one time every month you can get pregnant, its possible your not having sex at the correct time. Get your partners sperm tested first, its easy and quick, if that comes back ok then look at getting yourself tested. Good luck
