i'm having the problem right now too. Ive been trying to concieve for 7 yrs now and i cant. I'm a healthy person in my 20's and I had one child when i was a young teenager. My mom made me give him to his other grandparents for adoption and now i havent been able to see him in years. I've always thought that another baby would feel the hole in my heart that i have for my son that i never had. Maybe you should get some test ran first to see whats going on..( blocked tubes, ovalation, etc...) Sorry you feel like that. its really hard.

My friend had her first child at 21. She and her husband practiced NO birth control whatsoever, both of them very happy and healthy, and it still took 9 years for her to get pregnant again.

Fertility does decline with age in normal women. It would be most unlikely that your ob would've tied your tubes because that's more work and he would've wanted to get paid for it of course.

Go with the flow. If you're meant to have another child you will.
