I'm 32, and a little over 11 years ago, my appendix burst
, leaving me with a severe abdominal infection. I received emergency surgery and stayed in the hospital for a week. While I healed nicely and haven't had complications since then, fast forward to today, when the topic of babies and fertility came up. I am worried that the infection could have possibly led to adhesion in my fallopian tubes, which could cause infertility. I was 21 at the time of surgery, and have had regular periods since. I'm at the point where I want to meet someone to settle down with and eventually have kids with. I just don't know what my chances are of achieving the baby part :( I plan to speak with my gynecologist at my next appointment, but any information is appreciated. (link)

I struggled with infertility for many years. The best thing for you to do is talk to your Gyno. There are several ultrasound and die tests that can check for scaring and fertility issues. If you need to have anything taken care of you should do it now. The older you get the harder it will become to get pregnant. We ended up going through IVF but got a beautiful set of twins out of it but I had to have a few surgeries dealing with scaring and my tubes prior. The initial exams are easy & relatively inexpensive. Your Dr. will have all the right answers. Good luck.
