Hello everyone, I'm just looking for a bit of advice if possible. I'm 29 my partner is 30, neither of us hve children and have decided to start trying.

Its more a case of if it happens it happens no rush yet. I'm just worried as im 29 and I've never been pregnant? I know its sounds odd but literally everyone I know has either had a baby/scare, miscarriage or termination. I've always been very careful with contraception take my pill at the exact time everyday and use condoms when not in a long term relationship so it could just be this, my other concern is one of my younger brothers is infertile while the other is ok so am unsure if I could be infertile too?

Any comments greatly appreciated.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking... But I had never been pregnant before until I was 32 and my DH and I decided to try. I became pregnant almost immediately and although I had a complicated pregnancy and birth I now have a beautiful almost 11 month old DS.
You may fall pregnant immediately, it may take a few months or even years... You may need help conceiving.
You just don't know until you try. I believe (don't quote me) that 1 in 3 pregnancies results in miscarriage (often before the person knows they are pregnant).

The only recommendation I have is to start taking folic acid now, and if you or your DH are a smoker seek help in giving up.
