Why was I so late getting my period?
I am a 27 year old female and I hear about all these 12 and 13 year olds getting their periods. My middle sister got hers when she was 11 and my oldest sister got hers when she was 12 but I didn't get mine until I was 16 could this be why I have trouble getting pregnant? Thanks in advance.

One more thing to add to advicemans low sperm count explanation. If your guy wears those tight briefs rsther than boxers, you might ask him to switch to boxers before trying the Dr. Farmers know this well when it comes to sheep or other male animals. The ones you don't want imprenating the females, they might wrap the genitals more firmly against the bodies as that extra warmth does something to the production of sperm lowering the count which will right itself in time when allowed to be looser and somewhat away from the body.
As to when a female gets her period, it can be a mash of things starting with the genes passed on to you and for some girls who eat a lot of red meat from animals treated with the growth hormone to make them mature faster for market,....well those hormones can have that same effect on some people who are more susceptible to it and thus they get their periods earlier. Although my 3 girls ate meat, we ate it in smaller amounts, added into casseroles and such, not as a main course, and when I checked with their friends, the ones who ate lots of meat seemed to develop a chest and get periods maybe a yr or two earlier than others, sometimes even 3 years or so earlier. This has nothing to do with getting pregnant later.

I am not a doctor so this is in no way a medical answer. My sister had her first period between her 15th and 16th birthdays and had no problem getting pregnant.
Getting pregnant is not as easy as getting in bed and making love. You have to make love within three days of ovulation so that one of your partners swimmers has a chance of fertilizing your egg. Then there is also the possibility that you are not the problem in why you are having trouble getting pregnant.
First things first, before you injure your partners ego visit your GYN and get a complete work up to see if there is anything wrong with you. If you are in working order then your partner needs to see a fertility doctor or a urologist for a check-up.
He may have a low sperm count or he may have low "T", which is low testosterone. There are a number of other things that could be a problem but those are the most common. A low sperm count may mean you conceive you child through inve-tro fertilization which can be expensive and most insurance policies do not cover.

Some girls get their period at an early teen age and some get it later and that's normal. I don't think you should be worrying about it but if you have a trouble getting pregnant then you should definitely talk to a doctor specialist.
