Why I Am Not Getting Pregnant With Unprotected Intercourse?

Hiya, i am 23 and have been having unprotected sex since i was 19. I was in a long term relationship at the time and we were young and wanted a family. Now, I am greatful i didn't get pregnant then as i was still very much a child but, now 4 years later and i have still not gotten pregnant. At the beginning of the year, I was 3 & 1/2 weeks late, and thn when it did come, it was very very light and went for about9-10 days(instead of my usual 3-5). I was scared and didnt go to a doctor until a month later. Test was negative by then. Doctor said it was a spontaneous miscarriage that we'd completely missed it, but im not sure what the truth is bcos another dr. told me i was fine and it was just an irregular period. Now I am thinking i may be infertile as 4 yrs unprotected sex and still not pregnant. Can you help?

Hi welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question.
As you are not sure if miscarriage or its delayed period, and not conceiving since 4 years then i would suggest some tests to get done for both of you.
For you 1 ovulation profile to see whether follicles are developing it not.
2 thyroid profile to rule out hypothyroidism
3 histosalpingography HsG to rule out tubal blockage
For your husband semen analysis.
After these consult a gynecologist if anything is abnormal.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
