Suggest Medications To Improve The Chances Of Conception

Hi, I've been with my boyfriend over a year now, I'm 18. When we first started having sex I was on the pill. But that messed up my period, and made me constantly bleed none stop. So about 6 months into our relashonship I stopped using contriception all together, so we have been having unprotected sex for 6 months now and I haven't got pregnant does this mean I can't have children?

Thank you for consulting in HealthCareMagic. Let me mention that the effect of pills goes away in a few months and there is supposed to be no more problems in conception in this regard. To become pregnant, you need to have unprotected sex with semen discharge between 10th and 18th day of your cycle which is your fertile period. So maintain the dates and see if pregnancy comes. If it still does not come, I would insist that both of you get yourselves checked.
I would insist you to get an ultrasound of the lower abdomen done and a semen analysis of your partner done and then visit a gynecologist who would be able to look into the reports and tell you if things are fine.
I would also insist both of you to take folvite (folic acid) 5 mg once a day regularly at least till you become pregnant. Taking zinc supplement will also help in enhancing the sperm count of your partner and increase the probability of conception.

Hope that helps. Feel free to post a direct question with the reports and I would be happy to help you further.
