My boyfriend and i have been together for 2 years, i would say out of those 2 years, for a year and a half we have been having unprotected sex. We were not trying to get pregnant but if it happened we were going to take full responsiblity for our own doing{he's 22 and im 20}. Im just wondering why haven't i gotten pregnant yet? Not in a big rush to become pregnant but like i said if i did we would do whatever it took to take care of our responsibility. Im just curious to know any advice from the ladies on here. Could there be something wrong with me or him?

Well yes, something could be wrong, but you can't know for sure without a doctor's opinion. He could just have a low sperm count which can be helped with certain things, like keeping cool "down there," etc. Or, you might not be ovulating every month. Do you have regular periods?
This isn't something you should worry about until you start actively trying to conceive because most doctors won't send you to a fertility specialist until you've actually been trying for a year, and what you're doing isn't really trying. Just wait and don't worry.

There could be, but it could just be strictly luck. You say that you are not trying to get pregnant, but if you are having unprotected sex, it sounds to me like you are. You should be 100 percent ready and able to have a child, so I suggest that if you are not ready, then start using some form of birth control. When you are ready, you can perhaps visit a fertility doctor to find out if something is going on. More than likely, you two have just been VERY lucky.

I met my husband when I was 22 years old and we started having unprotected sex after the first year of dating and I never got pregnant. I couldn't figure out what was going on but I guess its all about the timing. Here I am now 28 years old and we are about to have our first. My sister went through the same thing and now she is 29 about to have her first. Don't worry, timing is everything. It wouldn't hurt to get checked just in case but I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Edit: My sister isn't married but has been with her boyfriend for a while and they are both very happy about the baby.

The timing has to be pretty perfect to get pregnant. You ovulate 14 days before your period. You need to have sex around that ovulation time. If you don't have sex on the right days, you won't get pregnant....so it is possible that you just haven't been lucky enough to have sex on the right days.
If you started tracking your ovulation and days you have sex you may be surprised how much you don't have sex. It feels like you do it more often than you really do.
If you want more info on tracking fertility...look up basal body temperature method.

Married or not, thats crap! Who cares! Its just a peice of paper! Are you guys just using the withdrawl method? If not, then when you both are ready go to the doctor, let him know you have been trying for __ years. Then the doc will run tests on you and then him. It could be so simple as your cm isnt right. If yes then your just lucky. Its all about timing. Your timing-ovulation, his timing-pulling out. BUT there is pre c** that has sperm. I just got a postive ++ today from that method. It worked for over 3 yrs!(until now...) Good luck!

If it's meant to be, it will happen. Maybe the timing just isn't right for you guys. You are very, very young. Be happy that you don't have kids yet!!! Take your time growing up and have some fun! Once you have kids, the fun is over!

"take care of our responsibility"??
You two aren't ready to be parents. Children should be planned for and WANTED. Wait until you are more mature and married before having unprotected sex. A child deserves two parents who really want him/her in their life.

who knows, there could be or you just might not be catching the egg at the right time ever.
As for being married and it all falling into place, I call bull****. A piece of paper doesn't automatically mean your egg is going to magically become fertilized, as scores of married TTC couples will tell you.

First of all, this part is really due to other responses you've already received, but since you didn't provide details of your life such as work status, home situation, etc., we have no basis on which to judge you about aspects of your life not mentioned here!
Second, to answer your question, Jennifer's answer above me is on target.
