Before School ; Life: Questions like yours always cause my heart to be full of pain and fear for you. There is so much time ahead of you to become a mother and only a few years to do school or travel or have adventures that will enrich your ability to be a good mother. Usually fertility is studied after six months of failed attempts. Both you and the male in the relationship will need testing.

Risk Factor Depndent: Getting pregnant is not easy and not instantaneous, however 85% of people will conceive within the first year of trying. If you don't have regular periods and have a history of infections then your ability to get pregnant may be compromised, in which case i would speak to your doctor.
