Will I be able to get pregnant?

[Justine Greenwood]

Hello SilkieeS,

Thank you for your post. I appreciate this is a delicate topic and I will do my best to answer your questions.

Firstly, I would like to tell you that your boyfriend's penis is actually of average size. NHS Choices indicates that the average penis length is:
•about 5-10cm (2.5 to 4 inches) when limp
•about 12-19cm (5 to 7 inches) when erect (hard)
(http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/873.aspx?CategoryID=61)

In fact a penis would only be considered unusually small if it was less than 3 inches (7.6cm) long when erect.

Therefore I do not believe that this will affect your chances of becoming pregnant.

Numerous physical treatments, exercises, pills and creams claim to increase penis size, but there is very little evidence that these work. For more information on these try this NHS website: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/penis-health ... -size.aspx

There are many factors that can affect your fertility. Take a look at http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Fertility/Pa ... ility.aspx to see if there is anything you and your boyfriend can do to help your chances. Maintaining a healthy balanced diet, reducing alcohol consumption and stopping smoking all help boost your fertility.

I really hope this information helps. Take a look at the websites I have mentioned and if you have any further questions please get in touch.

Good luck,

Justine
