My girlfriends don’t get pregnant

I am 30 years of age and have had three different relationships with several unprotected sexual encounters, yet , I have never been told by any of  my girlfriends that they are pregnant. This has made me very worried about my own fertility. Kindly help.

Having different unprotected relationships is not the best way to know one’s fertility. In fact, this habit could be risky because of the high possibilities of catching an infection. Also, since a woman can only get pregnant during her fertile period which is usually about 10 days in a normal menstrual cycle, it may be difficult for you to ascertain this period for all your girlfriends. The best way to confirm your fertility is through a semen analysis at any well equipped Laboratory nearest to you.
