I am 19 and i have been on Birth control pills since i was 16. I never get my period!!!! I only have a cycle when i take my pills.I want a baby so bad and i dont even ovulate.:mad: :mad: I want to know whats wrong but my doctor only says dont worry about kids now your young. To me that doesnt matter i am planning to marry my boyfriend and he deserves to know whether we can have kids or not. Please help i am very open to everything:confused:

Hello Baby and welcome.Well I am no doctor but it sounds like u have PCOS.Yes u are to young for kids u should enjoy ur life but if u have this problem they reall should look into it not only for infertility but for ur own health.Maybe u should find an RE who specializes in infertility and talk to him.No one can tell u when to have kids but it is ur life and if u choose to then u should seek help.Hope u find the answers u need.Keep us posted.Good luck.

Hi-
I agree with Mapia about the PCOS. That is what I have. Fortunetly I have a mild case and it is correctable with meds. I have a friend who also has PCOS but her case is somewhat different and more severe. (She too never had periods) And her case is also correctable with meds. (Different than mine)

I'm surprised that your gyn would not want to look into your situation for general health reasons. Maybe try a different gyn. I know many REs want you to try for a period of time to get preg before they'll see you and some insur cos need a referal from the gyn. But, no one can stop you from seeing a different gyn. It might be a place to start anyway.

Good luck!

Baby - are you still on the BC pills? How long have you stopped for? Perhaps your dosage needs adjustment and you need some time to recover before you start to O again.

Have you TTC yet and if so for how long? Is this a current concern or just plans for the future. Are you sure at 19 you are mature enough to be a Mom (this is not an implication that you aren't so don't take that question the wrong way.)

the dr is probably thinking in your best interest.. i understand the yearning to be a mom at a young age, and you say you will marry your boyfriend, well why not wait until you are married??? are you still in school?? will he not marry you if you cant have kids?? if not then he may not be the guy for you... it sounds like you may have pcos.. and whether or not trying to get pregant, this is a medical condition your dr should help you with.. i knew before i got married me and dh might have problems but i still married him, and whether or not the tests showed he would still ahve been my husband and we would do anything we could to have achild.. treatments to get pregnnant can be expensive! especilly for a 19 yr old.. i would def talk to another dr about getting help with the possible pcos/ovualing and deal with trying to get pregnant later, but your health is important

Baby I know how you feel. I too had the same question. I mean wondering if I could indeed get pregnant with my fiancee....I was going to Dr. and he just said he would give me fertility meds. but I wasn't really wanting to get preg. at the time but if it would happen ok....any ways you should just be foward and tell them you would like testing to see what it causing you not to have periods and just remember they work for you. And your age I will not comment on because I am only 21 and DH and I are trying for baby #1....and we just got married Christmas Eve and were trying before then. So good luck and keep us posted on what seems to be the problem.

If you are not ready for kids, please don't jump the gun. (I am not saying that you are not ready, but I kinda read that from your post). Medicine has increased it's knowledge and procedures for infertility dramatically over the last several years. Just think, if they continue at this rate, infertility won't even be an issue down the road. Between the drugs available and the procedures that they are able to do...... Boy, I would love to be your age now! You have a lot of child-bearing years left and I believe that doctors and clinics are increasing their knowledge so quickly that it won't be much of an issue for you in a few years. Get a gyno that you like and trust, and listen to what they tell you.
