I would start by changing doctors. Any doctor should treat a married woman, of any age, for fertillity if they have not conceived in a year. Thats a general rule as I have heard it. If you have been married for 4 years and have been trying for 3 you should definitely be getting help. 22 is not too young. They used to say that women shouldn't worry about their fertility dropping till they were 35. Now they are saying that every year after 28 it drops considerably. That would only give you about 6 good years left. As for do it yourself, there are a lot of variables. Get yourself a good ovulation kit and use it. Just because most people ovulate in the middle of their month doesn't mean you do. Once you know when you are ovulating, try to make sure you do it that night if you can. If it doesnt work the first month, try a day or so earlier the next month. Then try every other day or so around that time. You don't want to do it every day because your man needs a day or so in between to mature his sperm. If you do it daily it can thin the sperm and make them to young to be any good. Sometimes the chemicals that show ovulation don't show up till well after you have actually dropped the egg so thats why you try a bit earlier next time. I read once that if you do it once a week on average it could take you 14 years to get pregnant. It's because you may never end up doing it on the days you need to be. So If he is a once a weeker he will need to step up to the plate a bit more for awhile. Also, after sex put your feet up and tilt your pelvis up a bit. Like propping your feet up on a wall or just a bunch of pillows under your knees. This helps the sperm in the direction they need to go. Rest like that for about 15 to 20 minutes before getting up. Don't Douche right before or right after. It makes a hostile area for it to swim in. Have your husband switch from briefs to boxers and wear loose jeans. I know it sounds like a joke but if his boys get too hot it can reduce his sperm count. They need air to stay cool. If you still can't get pregnant, I would talk to a specialist if you can and ask to be checked for blockages in your tubes. Just running the dye through the tubes to can temporarily increase fertility. They don't know why. But do it right after the test, just in case. The first drug they put most people on is clomid. its a mild fertility drug that is not too expensive and that may be all you need. just a little boost. There are stronger ones but they are horibly expensive. So be prepared and save or be ready to take out a loan. Check with your insurance and see what they will cover. If you have a choice of insurance companies I would suggest finding out which has the best coverage on infertility and change asap. It makes it easier then trying to switch once you are in the process. Otherwise there are personal loans you can get to cover it. Thats what we did. At the same time have your husbands sperm checked. Sometimes it can be something simple like a vitamin deficiency in men. Sometimes even if there are problems with his sperm they can still use it. They can do invetro fertilization and then implant the embryo into you. Or they can take one sperm and one egg and inject the sperm directy into the egg for fertilization. Its amazing what they can do now. They can also sort out the sperm separating the good sperm from the bad and then inject the good sperm into you for natural fertilization. I learned a lot going through the struggles of infertility. I wish I had pushed my doctors to start earlier on me. I highly recommend having kids while you are young. You have way more energy. I am 46 and my son is 7. People think I am his grandmother sometimes. I started at the age of 24 trying. I was 39 when he was born. It shouldn't take that long for you. The drugs are better now and the doctors have better tests and understanding of infertility than when I was young. But figuring out whats wrong can still take awhile. Don't let them stall you. Find a doctor that understands and go for it.

Many things have been said. However, I read stories about people that were considered "impossible to conceive" and still had children just by using the power of positive thinking and visualisations.
Try a deep relaxation class and ask your teacher to make you a tape for getting pregnant or to help you do visualisation. This is a very old technique that is still preferred to all others in the treatment of certain skin problems because it gives great results and doesn't leave any marks.
Good luck and don't forget "habit is our second nature"!

well, I am not assuming anything, but the healthier you are the better you have in chances of conceiving. there are plenty of way that you could be helping and hindering your chances. try the website below. maybe is will help. your doctor really does not have a right to tell you he will not help you if you and your husband are health people and trying to conceive without success for a least a year. The other answers are correct in stating that you should get a different doctor.
If your health insurance will not cover it consider adoption, it is less expensive than procedures like in-vitro. and it is helping out with the world. Best wishes and good luck!

see a different doctor. If you have been trying for over 3 years without success he should refer you for tests. At a young age fertility is usually at its highest, so for you to not have conceived over the last 3 years is unusual.
Take a look at www.fertilityfriend.com for advice on charting your cycles and determining your most fertile days in the meantime.
I would say see a different doctor though.

Truthfully, you can always buy clomid online and its not hard to get, you dont even have to have a perscription. They do make you fill out a questioneer and they will most likely give it to you its about 100 dollars for 10 pills.. peace

First of all, find another doctor. You have *hired* her/him to provide a service, and if she/he refuses to provide the service, then *fire* that doctor and hire one who will!
However, even before you try medical intervention, please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler. The information it provides may be enough for you to get pregnant, and, even if not, it can save you time, money, and discomfort if you *do* need medical help.
Good luck!!
