Hello,

I am new to this board, I have been having unprotected sex for 7 years now and in that time have had 2 patners, with my first partner I experienced 2 miscarriges, I am now 24 and want to have a child but I am so scared to go to the doctor incase he says I will never have children.

Hang in there Pepper, go ahead and go to the doctor. I was in the same shoes as you are. I have unexplained infertility, which is the hard part to "figure out" and "fix" but there are so many things that the doctor can test, etc. and help you get on the right path to having a child. Being that you have gotten pregnant twice, even though they ended in miscarriage (I'm so sorry. I've only had one but know that it is a horrible thing to go through. My heart goes out to you.) The doctors can do a lot for you! It may be as simple as just having low progesterone once you conceive. You never know.

I've had a couple of RE's and have to say that they were the BEST doctors that I have ever had. Of course, I also had one that was just horrible. That's not as common though!

Hang in there and keep us posted on what you decide to do!

Hi Pepper! You should go to the dr with no fear! It could be something as easy as a progesterone thing - this is something your body produces that helps that little one attach to your uterine lining - there are lots of women who don't produce enough of this and need a progesterone supplement.

2 partners!! That is great these days!!

Don't be afraid!

Good Luck!

P.S. I just read Pumpkin's post about the progesterone too!! LOL! See? I'm sure that is all it is.
