Ok now, my medical history is messed up, when i was 7 i had cancer(leukemia) and the doctors told me that there is a possibility i couldn't get pregnant.Now i'm a little freaked out that i wont be able to get pregnant, because i've been trying since September of 07 and i haven't got pregnant yet. I'm worried that i can't get pregnant. Now i've tried ovulation calculators and pills.What should i do? Even when that doesn't work i've gone to the doctors. but i wont know for another couple days, but i'm scared for the worst. I'm so worried what's the worst that they can say?

Don't you ever let any doctor or any person say you can never get pregnant. Never believe that. It's up to God not humans. Believe and you shall receive. It might not be tomorrow or next year but you can get pregnant. I believe you can.

Some Cancer treatments can affect fertility and your doctor would be the best one to have this disucssion with. They assess the drugs you received, check your current health and give you a more informed answer, also, if there is something they can do to help, ie drugs, procedures etc, they can let you know about that.

The treatment you might have received (my info on this is several decades old) could make you infertile. How bad it has been in your case I can't say, hopefully medical science has improved over the years.
The worsed case is that you simply can't conceive anymore. You are then looking at having to get another woman's fertilized egg implanted as an option.
But this is really worsed case scenario and this was from a time when most patients still died. They really improved a lot and you might well have different options available.
A thing to remember is that you haven't been trying all that long, 3/4 of year when the average time to conceive for a perfectly healthy couple is half a year.
I don't want to give you false hope but it is far too early to despair. Wait the test out, if it is as bad as you fear there still are other options.
Good luck.
