2 and a half years off pill..

[LibbyL92]

Hiya,

So 2 and a half years ago I decided to come
off of the pill (wasn’t to conceive) merely to improve my moods ect.

I have been with my boyfriend for coming up 9 years.
tbh looking back we were never really ‘careful’ when I came off of the pill. Both in stable jobs, live together and if I did fall pregnant then we’d be fine, although we weren’t actively trying.

we’d like to have a baby next year but I’ve suddenly been thinking for the past 2 and a half years we’ve not used any protection and I’ve yet to fall pregnant?
I’m starting to think there may be something wrong? We have unprotected sex various times a month, when I’m ovulating and when I’m not.
surely something would of happened by now?
or have I just managed to unknowingly avoid my most ‘fertile’ days?

although we’re not planning on really considering it until later next year I’m quite worried something might be wrong? Would I been unreasonable to book a doctors appointment?

my friends have all seemed to have fallen pregnant quite quickly from trying…

If the man is pulling out, that's different. Men either do or don't secrete sperm in pre-cum. If you're having sex with a man who secretes sperm in pre-cum, you're quite likely to get pregnant using the pull-out method. If you're having sex with a man who doesn't, you may not get pregnant ever using the pull-out method but conceive quickly when he finishes inside you. But you only find out what kind of man you are sleeping with when the pull-out method fails, which is why you should only use it if you don't mind a pregnancy.

If you’re having regular unprotected sex, as in every 2-3 days and not become pregnant then I would speak to a GP. They will likely want you to properly try timing it correctly for at least 6 months first if you don’t have very regular sex when you know you’re ovulating.
