Do you have normal periods?
Also was thinking about something very simple, like BoA says above. PCOS is the most common cause of infertility. And it’s possible to be on the spectrum of PCOS, have absolutely no weight issues, and even have normal periods. But if you have PCOS, you could have normal periods and not ovulate. It’s super easy to test for - I would get worked up by a reproductive endocrinologist just to see if everything looks all right.
As far as not being pregnant after 4 years, another point is that if you are not having sex every day or every other day and it’s fairly infrequent/sporadic, and you DO ovulate regularly, it’s quite easy not to hit your ovulation window. You are only fertile for a few days each month.
My advice is: track your periods and ovulation with basal body temperature and ovulation strips and also get a fertility work up- 1 visit won’t hurt.
I would see a repro endo. I have never been pregnant naturally even though I was not using protection for around 7 years and all of my testing is normal. Had to do IVF for unexplained infertility, and it worked.
On the same boat , never had any issues with periods and no birth control pills ever and not pregnant even once . I do have vaginismus that makes every thing incredibly challenging and recently came of my septate hymen . Gyno suggests to surgically cut it but I’m definitely not feeling good abt it .
I’d definitely go talk to a fertility specialist. Age shouldn’t be a factor for you yet, but that leaves A LOT of other possibilities. They’ll likely start with your partner, since it’s much easier to test for male infertility.
Many things could be going on with you or your partner that is preventing pregnancy. The only way to get a read on it is to go to a fertility specialist, or at least start with your gyno.
Are you ‘actively trying’ (vs just not preventing)? Tracking your cycle and fertile window?
