 I am 24 years old, and my boyfriend is 25.  We both have full time jobs.. We've been dating for 1 year and 3 months. We are thinking about getting married before I actually have kids,but we have a problem.  We  are trying to conceive for 4 months, now, ever since we try and try. He acted distant from me, like he didn't want me anymore.  He's just completely given up. I thought if he loved me he wouldn't care, but we always wanted a big family when we started dating. Last time we made love, I started to feel slight cramps. I went on-line searching to see why, and a site said it could be first early sign of pregnancy, so I decided to wait and see but  Igot my period. I was devastated because I actually thought I was pregnant. But when I got it, it was worst cramps I have had to deal with when I sit and stand.  Since then I have been spotting and cramping of and on. I really don't know what's going on because I've never have a kid on my own, and sometimes peoples put wrong answer about these stuff. I did talk to my boyfriend about it, and he said it could be something else. I told him I could be pregnant but on period too? Should we be together because of this? Am I pregnant or going to be pregnant soon? Please help! Thanks much.

I'm not a doctor, but you should see one. There are many reasons why this could be happening, and you shouldn't guess. A doctor can get to the bottom of this serious issue, and it's important that you go, sooner, rather than later. There may be a simple explanation, but if it is something that keeps you from getting pregnant, perhaps it can be corrected. If, for some reason, conception is unlikely for you, it seems your boyfriend may make the decision to forgo marriage. I am so sorry if that's the case. But although some people like to think marriage is unconditional, it seldom is. Get to the bottom of this now. To wait would be foolish, and only continues your angst over the unknown.
