Can I still get pregnant?

Question

Okay, so this may sound like a completely dumb question, but... My huband and I want to have a baby. We have been married for almost one year and we don't use protection ever. My dad physically abused me when I was young and used to punch me in the stomach really hard. I am afraid that I won't be able to get prgnant. I went to a doctor when I was 15 and he just told me that my ovaries were a little enlarged... Also, I was on birth control for almost 4 years... am i just worrying for no reason?

Answer 1

enlarges ovaries are not that uncommon, i believe. one of the biggest issues for you is whether or not you get your yearly exam. if you don't- you NEED to, and if you do and the doc has never noticed a problem, that is a good sign. it sometimes takes while for BC to fully leave your system, and it sometimes takes a while, no matter what else, to get pregnant.

i wouldnt say your worrying for no reason, but i do recommend that you try to not. worrying can hampen your efforts and make the process longer.

best of luck to you and your hubby!!!


(and i am sorry your dad is such a jerk)

Answer 2

Well the only person hat can answer that is a doctor. However, there could be several factors at work here. Enlarged ovaries does not unequivocally mean you won't ovulate. There would have to be severe trauma for your uterus to not carry a baby. Also the pill effects women differently. It could cause you to take forever to get pregnant, and for some women it happens the first month off the pill. I would recommend 2 things:

1. Start charting you cycles. Write down when you start your menstrual cycle and when it ends.Write down the texture of your cervical mucus (egg white looking or stretchy and clear is a good indicator that you are ready to ovulate) If you Google fertility friends their charting software is free but it costs money to use any of the other features. I use it for charting and it is great!

2. Do that for 3 months and bring it to your OBGYN. Since you have been actively trying for a year plus the 3 months of charting, they will be able to run more tests (mostly blood work and u/s) and try to find a better answer as to why you are not pregnant yet.

Always remember... there is ALWAYS hope! Good Luck!

Answer 3

It is not a dumb question and yes you can still get pregnant. Because the stomach does not play a role in the carrying of a baby, you are not at risk because of your history. The enlarged ovaries are not as uncommon as you may think and simple medication should be able to restore them to their original size. If you were on birth control for that long, allow some time for there not to be any left in your system before expecting to get pregnant. Be patient and it will happen for you....good luck.

Answer 4

I would suggest you not worry so much and let nature take it's course. If you really think you have something medically wrong have a check up with your obgyn! The dr may give you some alternative suggestions in helping you get pregnant.
My aunt tried for many years to have children and she was so stressed over it,finally she just quit worrying about it and just that quick she found out she was pregnant. Stress can cause an inbalance in your hormones and stressing over wanting a baby could be just what may be the problem!!! I hope everything works out and you have a nice family in the near future!!!Good luck.....

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Answer 6

I'm very sorry that you were abused by someone who was supposed to protect you. Good for you though to be able to move on and have a relationship with someone. :)

You should be able to get pregnant, it may take some time since you're coming off the pill, but you should be okay. If after some time passes you are still concerned you can always discuss it with your doctor and he/she can make sure everything is up to par.

Good luck and best wishes!

Answer 7

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/171f0

Answer 8

Ovary enlargement is usually caused by PCOS not being abused. Though it may be harder to get pg with PCOS its not impossible. Good diet, low in sugar and high in fiber, exercise is a good way to start treating PCOS.

Answer 9

I don't think being punched in the stomach or enlarged ovaries or using BC for four years matters too much with fertility.

Answer 10

Yes you could be... Excessive worries and conceving do not go along at all.. Just relax and dont think up of all these excuses... Limit your caffeine intake and walk every day...Make sure your weight is in the correct BMI range also...
