Conception

[KylaD990]

Hi i am 18 and happily married, me and my husband have been trying to conceive since we started dating which was 5 years ago (high school sweet hearts :) ) and we havnt been able too, and i was just wandering if anyone knew how old u had to be for doctors to begin too help you

They are pretty regular just sometimes they are lighter and my cycle ranges from 28-29, this might be too much info but we try every second night and not while im on my period. I have thought about purchasing ovulation tests i just didnt know if they work as well as they say but i will try those ideas and def confront my doctor about it and hope for the best reaction. Thanks so much :D

OK, I see. 16 is still early, but definitely better than 13 ;-) As for your doctor, you never know. You're still young, so he might not feel like it's a big rush to get you tested....but in general, they usually like to check into a few things if it's been more than a year. Are your cycles regular every month? And how long are your cycles (start counting day 1 as the first day of your period and the last day the day before your next period starts)? Also, have you been trying on a regular basis? Usually, ovulation happens right around the middle of your cycle (depending on how long your cycles are), and that's when you're able to conceive. There are ovulation tests out there that can help you pinpoint your most fertile days, if you're interested in trying those. You could always start there and if still no results in a few months, set up an appointment with your doctor....and if he's not willing to help, you can always go see a different doctor. Best of luck!

Sorry i miss typed that we have been trying since i was 16 and believe me i look back and think of how dumb that was of us but it just scares me that i havnt become pregnant from 3 years of trying and i just didnt know if we went to our doctor if he would turn us down

There's no real age, as far as I know, but if you have regular cycles, and you've been trying for more than a year with no luck, they usually recommend seeing your doctor. But, I have to ask this...you've been trying to get pregnant since you were 13???
