Trying To Get Pregnant. Had UTI And Born With Non-fully Developed Kidneys. Is It Related?
my boyfriend and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years now. he's cummed in my every time and I have yet to get pregnant. I also had non fully developed kidneys when I was born and urinary tract infections and had to be put on antibiotics for them until I was 4. does that have anything to do with my reproductive system messing up and affecting me not being able to get pregnant?

Hi, Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.
You should try having intercourse on the days you are ovulating, that way is far more effective. This is how you calculate the days when you're ovulating- Count 14 days from your last period, the next 4 days after that are the days when you ovulate, so try to have intercourse on those days.
If that doesnt work, you want to have your boyfriend's semen checked to see what his sperm count is. You can also have some tests done, for example an ultrasound, to see if there is anything wrong with your uterus.
I hope this answered your question.
