Hi, Moxie:

I think if you have questions about your reproductive health, the best place to start is with a doctor. Only a doctor can run the various tests to determine whether you are healthy and very, very lucky or whether there is a problem that results in you not getting pregnant despite your very risky behavior!

Do you have a doctor? What about the college clinic?

I think that you should get your questions answered, but please, don't have unprotected sex if you don't want to get pregnant. Having a baby is such a big responsibility and it will change your life... you don't want to do that unless you have made a conscious decision with your boyfriend that you both want to bring a new life into the world. An abortion is also an option for an unwanted pregnancy, I am very pro choice, but it's naive to think that having an abortion would not affect you profoundly.

Good luck to you! I hope all is well with your health and that when the time is right for you, you will not have any problems with conceiving a child.
