go see your doctor and see about some tests... your bf should too, just in case he is "firing blanks"... :D

Yeah you can as long as there are no problems phsyically. It can take up to a year to become pregnant, especially with your periods only just returning. You will ovulate on day 14 of your cycle, so count 14 from the FIRST day of your last period and this is when you will be fertile. I work on a Neonatal Unit and we have a high percentage of new mothers who are are late 30s. Try and relax and let nature take its course, give it a bit longer then after a year make an appointment with your doctor to set your mind at rest. Good luck xx

Unprotected sex is bad enough with such a short relationship, but considering a baby in such a short time is crazy. I presume you're worried that you'll lose your fertility quickly now as you're over 35.
The fact that your periods have returned means that you are able to get pregnant (unless you have any fertility problems). Have a good talk to someone about what you're doing...you really are taking a big risk. Be safe!

Best thing to go is have a fertility test and see if both you and your partner are able to have kids.
If you are both able, then maybe it's the case of it taking time for you to conceive. It took my partner some time to get pregnant. Whereas I have heard of women conceiving at the drop of a hat.
It might be a case of just having to wait, Good Luck and hope all turns out well.

If you are referring to your age then there is no reason why not .. other factors may come into play but they are personal to you (such as precautions, infertility etc)
One thing to be aware of is the dramatically increased risk of a Downs Syndrome baby over the age of 35. I would suggest speaking to your doctor so you fully understand the emotional and physical implications of having a child at your age.
Sorry to make you sound old .. of course in all other areas of life your age is young ...

firstly i hope ur not having a baby to keep him happy. now to the baby making. when i was trying to concieve my son it took a yr and a half in the end i was refered to fertality doctor. who told me to not have sex all the time 2 or 3 times a week max. and to check my temp each morning before doing anything and to write it down each day once it is half to 1 degree up and ur not sick this is when ur ovulating, have a romantic dinner hot bath massages lots of for play and let rip but have a pillow under ur hips (helps his men) stop thinking about having a baby and just let sex be fun. cos u stressing about it affects ur chances and if all else fails see a doctor.

Sometimes these things just take time. Maybe go to a fertility clinic and they can do a couple of tests to see if everything is in order. In the mean time, eat healthy food and take folic acid and calcium and enjoy yourself - good luck x

If you are having your periods then its possible you will get pregnant. Check with your doctor and unless you want to fall pregnant you should reconsider having unprotected sex.

Only way to be sure is a check up. Do it and resolve the matter. Either way result you'll be able to move on.

You can still concieve. It all depends on your health & body conditions. best way is to consult a doctor, nobody here can provide you satisfactory answer, even if he/she is a doctor.
Take care.
