Infertility is literally defined as no pregnancy after one year of correctly-timed, regular intercourse. That's the most definitive "symptom". There are some tests that doctors can do to find out if you have particular, specific causes of infertility, such as blocked fallopian tubes that would prevent the meeting of egg and sperm. But many people have "unexplained infertility" -- all their tests come out normal and they just don't know why they haven't gotten pregnant. So testing alone will not identify whether you are going to be able to have babies or not -- only trying and not succeeding will tell you that.
Even if you receive an infertility diagnosis, that does not mean you cannot ever have a baby, it just means you probably need help. My husband and I tried for two years with no success, but we worked our way up the treatment ladder to IVF (in vitro fertilization) and were successful with that.
At your age I would err on the side of assuming you are able to have babies, and you are probably quite fertile as well (at least according to statistics). You might want to take appropriate precautions.

It usually takes an average women a yr. to get pregnant. If you dont have your period every month and it takes longer than a yr. then you could have problems, but some women have this and they can have children. There's really no way to know unless you find out from a doc.

the best way to know is to let your doctor run tests for infertility! Several methods will probably be tried, before a doctor will say that you are unable to have children unless you have a serious medical condition that can' t be treated!

I think the only way to know iz to actually "try" getting pregnant, n'if it took a while & u still didn't, ask a Dr.
