Hi, hope you're all well?
I just joined MN because I got given some unpleasant news yesterday and I need to vent to some people whom I hope will understand and hopefully have some advice.
Firstly, i'll add that me(25 years today) and my partner (31 this year) have been having unprotected sex for about 14 months. We have never been officially trying per say, but if it had happened, I would have been pleased.
Anyway, I hadn't even had a inkling of a pregnancy scare like many people seem to have.
Yesterday, my mum decided to tell me, for no reason at all, that when I was a baby ( I was born 3 months premature) the doctors had told her that I would probably have fertility issues due to my early arrival and small size. I was only made aware of this yesterday.
This has floored me beyond belief to be honest and I've been thinking of little else. I hate the sudden unknown future I now have and I've no one really to talk to about it.
I would love to know if there are any tests I can do (home or private) that will tell me if I will have trouble or not having children.
Is there anything I can do? I know doctors only begin tests after over a year of trying for a baby and I dread to wait that long in case my chances get even less as I become older.
Look forward to any replies.
