I was born with a condition that could affect my ability to have children. I've never had a fertility test either. My doctor wanted me to schedule one last year, but I told him I wasn't interested in finding out.

My girlfriend and I maintain that we don't want kids. We joke about it with each other, but we're also open about it being something that doesn't interest us.

I think it's a matter of time until she changes her mind, but we've been together for almost 8 years and that hasn't happened yet. Personally, I'm terrified of finding out that I can't. It's easier for me to maintain inwardly and outwardly that I don't want them than it is for me to take the plunge only to find out that I'll never be able to do it. I know it would absolutely crush me.
