Hi there

Are you trying for a baby? Getting pregnant really depends on a woman’s cycle, when in that cycle she has sex and lots of other variables. Unless it has been tested by a medical professional, a couple must always assume they are fertile. Sadly it is only after 2 years of trying with no contraception that it would be looked into. If you don't want to get pregnant I would recommend visiting your local contraceptive and sexual health clinic or your GP to talk through possible methods of contraception that you can use.

I hope this helps

Best wishes

Katherine

Hi there

I am sorry that you feeling concerned about not conceiving. Try not to worry too much because it takes a different amount of time for everybody so try not to compare yourself to other couples. It might help to know that the vast majority of couples will conceive within one year of trying, the best thing to do is try to relax, stay healthy and have regular sex.

I hope this helps

Best wishes

Katherine
