Hi Everyone!
I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble finding a good doctor. I have recently been to three diffrent doctors, all of which do not seem to be taking me serriously. I have had irregular periods all my life, either they are coming to frequently or I won't have one for 2+ months. I had my horomone levels checked and an ultrasound and all came back normal. The doctors don't seem to understand that we are trying to get pregnant, even though I have filled it out on the forms that we are activly trying to concive and I have questions about my fertility. They all seem to blow off the fact that we are trying and keep offering me birth control! I have told them repeatedly that I don;t want birth control- then they seem to just blow off the problem when I don't want to cover it up with birth control. I am 21 and my fiance is 25, and my first doc told me I am young and shouldnt be trying to get pregnant anyways. I think that she doesn't know me personally so who is she to make this descision! Do you think that they think I am too young to have problems conciving or that I am too young so they wont help me? If I can't get pregnant now, will my chanced decrease as I get older? I just started taking Chaste Tree to see if this helps regulate my cycle. Anyone have any ideas of what I should be telling my doctor?

The doctor might be suggesting birth control because it is a great way to regulate your cycle. (Trying to give the doctor the benefit of the doubt here.)
Are you visiting a Gyn or your general doctor? A gyn should take you much more seriously. In addition, you need to have actively tried to get pregnant for at least 9 months (usually a year) before a gyn will talk to you about difficulties getting pregnant.
Hope this helps.
