go to an online message board asking questions of total strangers rather than going to her own physican? If one is REALLY trying to concieve then their doctor should be a part of the decision making from the beginning because the doctor can give tips, as to proper nutrition throughout not only the pregnancy but the months prior to conception. So I do not understand why couples wanting to concieve wouldn't consult their physicians first about questions, about food, lifestyle etc. The doctor knows your medical history, strangers on a message board don't. Please people at least ATTEMPT to use SOME form of common sense?

Of course there are some I can't email. Like heather...where in ANY of my question did I say that I didn't LIKE the fact that people ttc were posting questions here? All I did was ask WHY they weren't consulting their physicans and following their advice. There is no reason for me to like or dislike a question asked on an internet message board.

To Alison S. Of course a doctor won't discuss infertillity unless the couple has been trying for a year or more. In the first place the woman is more often than not just coming of of birth control. This has an effect on conception for some time AFTER the pill has been stopped. It could take MONTHS for a woman coming off of birth control to concieve. Second is the "trying to hard to concive" component. Many couples focus to much on getting pregnant rather than relaxing and just allowing it to happen. So it is only common sense (there's that phrase again) to wait at least a year. Some of us are "lucky" in that we get pregnant while on the pill,...

some come on here looking for advice and information so that when they do get in to see their dr they are more informed and able to make better desicions, and ask questions that lead them in the right direction. If those questions bother you so much, answer other ones.

Alot of us have been to our physicians and as for why I ask my questions it because Its nice to know that I'm not the only one going through it. Maybe someone might have some helpful advice. The fact that you'd come here and try to be all nasty shows me that you have no common sense. It's comforting to know that someone can relate to you no matter if they are a stranger or not. I'm sure thats something you'd never understand. You probably dont even know what its like to have a yearning and an overwhelming for a baby and to try and try just to end up being disappointed.

Well, I feel very sorry for you, putting all your trust in Doctors. I went to 4 different Doctors before one had any clue as to what was wrong with me. As a matter of fact, several years ago, I went online and saw a post on a ttc forum. The woman had the same problem, symptoms as me. She had PCOS. I finally found a doctor that had heard of this disease, and was able to treat me for it. Luckily, this Doctor was the only one in my area who kept up on new information, and went to a seminar on PCOS.
So you see, you are very miss-informed and I suggest you keep your misguided attempts at trying to make a point to yourself until you can wrap your brain around every possibility. I have said it before, Doctors may know more than most people, but they dont know everything. Most of them went to school 25 years ago, dont you think there may be new discoveries by now that they are unaware of?
Ok, does that answer your very insensitive, and extremely unintelligent question?

to comment some people have done everything there doc tells them and they come on here for maybe something new that the doc hasn't brought up and sometimes it takes to long to get a doc appt so they come on here for advice or tips that have worked for others in there situation. Just my comment...everybody feels different about certain things...

I agree with Ryan's Mom. If you don't like the question or don't want to help then move on. I know from experience that you have a hard time understanding peoples questions and in fact you are very rude and condescending in your answers. Maybe it is you that needs to use some common sense.

Many physicians won't even see a patient for fertility unless they've ttc for a year with no success.

Because a lot of women on here have been through it and can offer some advice. If you do not want to help others then you don't have to come on here.
