I'm glad you said that you're not ready to have kids yet....being 23 it weirds me out seeing all my friends be married and having 2 or 3 kids. Gotta get that PhD done first (for me personally).

I am worried about it but because I used to have issues with PCOS. When it was at its worst I went to my OBGYN for a hysterosonogram (if they tell you it doesn't hurt that bad they're lying) and he said I had over a dozen cysts per ovary and a large polyp in my uterine lining. Since then I have quit smoking and lost about 30 lbs and most of the symptoms have gone away. I still get pretty bad cramps but the intermittent bleeding has stopped for the most part.

Keep in mind that a lot of couples have issues getting pregnant - especially the first time and especially if you have been on birth control for a while. Also remember that miscarriages are not uncommon for a first time pregnancy. With that said its amazing what the human body can do with a little will and determination. I know its easier said than done to quit worrying but it does no good other than to stress you out and mess up your cycle.
