I am 22 and my sweetie is 25 we are ttc for 6 months with no luck. Yes I kknow you should wait about a year of ttc before worrying but if something is wrong I want to know now. I'd like to go to the Dr. to to get myself checked out and make sure nothing is wrong but I don't know what tests to ask for and what questions to ask. Please help. Also most doctors don't take me seriously b/c I'm only 22 and most people think we're too young (I live in S.E. Florida everyone here is like 115). So we would really like to get pregnant this year and first I want to make sure I have a clean bill of health but I don't know the questions to ask about my reproductive health and if I should get tested for any problems. I hear a lot of couples our age concieve the first month or two that they try and we haven't yet. And yes I'm charting my periods, CM and ovulation...got off bc ages ago. So if anyone has already been through this meeting with the doctor please help me out. Thank You!

Thanks for the answers but it's not a specific doctor I'm worried about...Just want to know specifically what questions to ask and what tests to ask for when I meet w/ my gyn. Also I'm a pretty healthy 22 yr old female...I've also been anemic for awhile...will that cause me in any way to not get pregnant?

Get your seminal fluid examined after one week of abstention.
If there are viable sperms and if they number 50 million or more per cc of sf, you will have a child by you if your sweetie ovulates regularly and if her fallopian tubes and uterus are of normal size.Also you have to make love on the day which is 14 days before the onset of her next menstruation. This will ensure synchronization of ovulation and availability of sperms at the site of fertilization, that is at the neck of the fallopian tube.

There are quite a few questions you can ask, but your OB-GYN is going to give you the run around speech that a couple is not condsidered infertile until they have been trying to concieve for 1 yr. I have talked in length with mine. He said that of 100% of couples only 70% will get pregnant in the first year. Of the remaining 30%, only 70% of them will get pregnant the second year & it keeps going like that.
Since your already charting yourself & know your CM, you can bypass the questions about fertility meds. There is a chance though, that your fallopian tubes are block. They get a sticky goo in them & the doctor will go in with a 'balloon' and blow all the gunk out to clear the tubes so fertilization can happen. The one thing that you can have done that's easy is have him sperm tested. SO many guys are low & don't realize it. You can also talk to him about post-coital testing. This invovles where you & your partner have sex, then you get on over to the doctor & they check to see how much semen is inside you.
They should have a lot of good info for you. Just remember that everyone is different. It took us 2 years to get pregnant with our daughter & we;ve been trying for a year now for a second with no luck so far. So don't believe that it's super easy for everyone. Good Luck !!!

Well if your doctor is not taking your concerns seriously then maybe he/she isn't the doctor for you. In most cases unless you know for sure your the one with the problem, they will first test your mans sperm count. If that is not the problem they may offer some medication to improve the chances. This is costly (100.00 for a round of pills). I suggest you contact an OB/GYN to discuss these concerns with rather then a regular doctor. They will have more resources and better understanding of where your at, then a general health care provider.

First of all, your doctor should not be a wise guy, if he is your using the wrong one, tell him what your doing to promote this baby and ask him for his suggestions, it could be your husbands sperm count, and so many other things, up to him to ask you the specific questions so you can find out and correct it! Tell him this is just not a passing fancy, this is something I am very serious about and need to know the answers otherwise I will be stressed out and never able to have a baby! Good Luck

To began with, you are worrying about it to much. That right there can stop you from getting pregnant. Try to relax and not think about it 24/7. Go to an OBGYN, look for one that you are comfortable talking to. sometimes you have to see several doctors before finding one that you feel ok with.
Good luck.

Ask the physician "even as". He says this is going to ensue, nicely, even as? At what element is it considered "infertility" in Canada? contained in the U. S. in case you haven't concieved after a million three hundred and sixty 5 days you're considered "infertile". (it really is for over 25. You under no circumstances stated how "youthful" you've been.) you need to consistently sense that your physician is on your crew, so if this guy would not do it for you, you want to discover someone who will. perhaps a decision to the specialist might want to win his/her help. (and an appointment!)

Never had your problem, but I'd suggest talking first to your Gyn. That's the best person to give you direction and a referral, if necessary, to a fertility specialist.
