Maybe you say you don't want to. Maybe you even THINK you don't want to. But subconsciously you are very clearly trying to.

Please, in todyas life, you do not have to take the risk, go to a clinic get the pill, use a condom.
You are still so young, enjoy life, study. to have a child is not like playing with a doll, you cannot just cast it aside if you don't feel like it.
It is a huge responsibility, you like of all of us will want what is best for your child; but i doubt if you are in such a position now, financially or even emotionally; as your behaviour to have sex without procetion is proving to me that you are still very immature.
I honestly hope you will be more realistic in future.
If you are worried about your fertility, vow, when you are ready to have a child try all the necessary and then if need be, if within 12 months you are not pregnant consult your doctor for some test.
However, do not tease "lady luck", it might hurt you.

Use protection if you don't want to get pregnant and I doubt you do at your age.

It might be either way. The general consensus (for what I have read) is that a couple that haves sex at least twice a week for 12 months should get pregnant. If they don't then they need to have a check up.
It is also most often a guy thing. The good thing with it being the guy is there is more probability of a simple treatment working rather than invitro or any other costly procedures.
Good luck.. oh.. and if you don't want to get pregnant... do something about it!

So you're wondering why you haven't gotten pregnant?
Two possibilities.
One. You haven't had the right timing yet. Wait a bit and keep trying and you might find out that you are indeed fertile.
Two. You or your partner are infertile. You could have a condition that is preventing conception. One of those possibilities is a hidden infection or sexually transmitted disease (STD) that has caused you to lose your fertility. He might have a low sperm count, in his case.
Only way to know for certain is to see your doctor.

Your extremely lucky you are not pregnant.
Now excuse me for being rude, but are you nuts?
It's time to grow up and take responsibility, you are too young to get pregnant and I guarantee your darling sweetheart will run for the hills when you do.
So take some responsibility for once and get him to put a condom on. Good grief!
