Fertility pills??

Question

hey guys my husband and i are trying to conceive but i am not having periods, not sure why..had everything checked out and things were perfect..Have not had a real period in over a year and i'm only 20..maybe my size is the reason i'm 5'3 110lbs, i am not stressed or anything. I do drink(on the weekends) and i smoke regularly. I have been pregant befor but sadly i lost them due to abuse(not by my husband)...I have tried ovulex which obviously was worthless and a waist of time! have tried vitex, dong quai, red clover once, female toner which had chamomile, red raspberry ect and had a extremely light period, i did not have to use anything it was so light..want clomid but dont have money to go to gyno right now, could i ask my regular doctor at first choice to prescribe them for me or anything else that would work wonders????please help

Well, all of us on Yahoo Answers in the ttc area know what its like to want a baby and have trouble getting there. First, irregular or no periods mean that you may not be ovulating. If you aren't ovulating then there's no egg & no way to get pregnant. However, you are very young. Its possible that your periods are going through an irregular time which sometimes happens in women up until about age 25ish. If you're not having periods for an extended amount of time, as you say, though, that usually needs some medical investigation. Some possible reasons: poor diet, weight too low, too much exercise. What kinds of exams did your Dr. do to make sure "everything checked out"? This really needs your attention first and foremost.
Second, Clomid is not a "wonder" drug. As answered previously, it requires monitoring including ultrasounds, exams, and sometimes used with injectible hcg. All of this is really expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it, which it usually doesn't.
Third, the cost of Clomid use & monitoring is nothing compared with the expense of a pregnancy, delivery, baby diapers, baby wipes, clothes, formula, day care, toys, etc. Although these things bring great joy, there's also a tremendous stress if you can't provide for your baby the way you want to. The stress of being pregnant, having a baby, not sleeping, and the cost also take a high toll on a marriage. There really is lots of time to have fun, enjoy your new husband, build a career, save some money, and get your health all taken care of, and then have a child. If you're in a place where you've taken care of yourself and your marriage and your lives, you'll be in great shape to give a wonderful home to a child.

All the Blessings in the world!!!!

You need to be monitored by a Dr when using clomid. You say that you don't have money to go to gyno...if you can't afford a Dr appointment how can you afford to be pregnant and have a baby. Wait a while till you are financially a little more stable. You are only 20...give it some time.
