My husband and I are both in our mid twenties and very much want children. We have been trying for about nine months and other then one miscarriage (before 8 weeks) we have not been successful. I have been to two different doctors both of whom told me I was "normal" with out running any tests. Everyone seems so quick to say that, not that I do not want to be normal it is just that I don't feel normal. I feel hormonal.
My doctor wants us to try for a year before worrying or running tests and they keep telling us that we have time. Don't you hate that, when they tell you that you have time? Time is all releative, my husband and I are celebrating our five year anniversary in two months and it is just time for me. We are starting the adoption process so we can have a large family no matter what, this process has been a good band-aid for me and this issue. We were always going to adopt anyway but we had planned on having a few of our own too.
To wrap it up and get out of my sob fest I would just like someone, anyone to say that they understand. At least one person to tell me that they have experienced this before. I can't be the only twenty something that has infertiity issues...right?

HI
Well I just wrote a blog about my son. I had him at 38 yrs old ! I was told at first yup your normal nothing wrong with you . Myhusband and i were trying when we first got married also. I was getting very stressed out about it. I worked in a lab and it killed me to see all these prgnant women coming in for blood tests.
then i was told I could never have kids by several different drs. I finally gave up .Heartbroken over this. then one day I was just feeling strange. couldnt place what waas wrong with me. so i drew my blood and sent it down just to check it. I was actually pregnant. My new dr said that I had been so stressed about becoming pregnant I wasn't letting nature take its course so to speak. We were married for 10 yrs before i became pregnant.
Well im just trying to say don't give up . relax a bit , try not to focus on the end result just let it happen . I wish you the best of luck . Keep the faith !
hugs to you

You & your husband are such a lovely couple, and I feel for the two of you for not having conceived a child yet. Don't give up... keep trying & it's bound to happen. I understand your frustration right now, but please try not to stress too much about it. I hear that stressing & worrying too much about getting pregnant can negatively affect your hormones.
I have hope for you two. I wouldn't be happy either if I was told to wait a whole year to be tested. You should consult another doctor. Time IS relevant here, because 25 is not too young to have infertility issues, and time certainly has a way of getting away on us. XOX
Go to a Reproductive Endocriologist. Internest, GP and Gyns are limited.
Well you are not alone. I think that I am in the same boat as you are. But I do have an ll year old son and I have been trying to have another child but have been unsuccessful. I had a miscarriage about 2 years ago. And the doctor told me that I could try again. Because I am normal and that I should have no problem getting pregnant.
But I don't understand why I can't get pregnant I have never been on birth control. And I have been married to the father of my son for 13 years.
So I really don't know what to tell you. Because I haven't been to a doctor since I had my miscarriage. I know that I need to go but I just can't make myself go.
But I understand you completly. Because I don't feel normal.
Blessings,
Maria
My husband and I are having the same problem. We have been trying for around 4 years though. Both in our late 20's also. I went to my Gyno and was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Its symptoms are irregular periods, excess weight around the belly, excess body hair (facial or chest), and infertility. I have a small cyst on my left ovary from it also. In most woman they put you on Provera to regulate your periods, Metformin to help with other issues, and Clomid to help you ovulate. Most woman can also lose 10% of their body fat along with taking the meds and become pregnant. So that might be something to check into if you have any of the symptoms. I wish you guys all the luck in the world. My husband and I are still dealing with this and want a baby more then anything in this world!!
