Open Question: Is 1 year and 6 months too long and should I see a Dr?
Monday, July 26th, 2010
Me and my partner have been TTC for 1 yr and 6mo. I’m getting really frightened about infertility. I never thought TTC would ever be this hard. I have pretty regular cycles (31-32 day cycle) and i know i’m capable of ovulating as i used OPK’s for 2 cycles. But it was an expensive habit and my partner recommended we gave it a break for a few months. We didn’t think about TTC 6 months at ALL. But still nothing. I always said to my partner i’ll give it till 2 years. But as the months go by i lose hope all together and just think “well this is life”
On a personal note: I had an old boyfriend in my younger teen years. And we were both sexually active and i caught chlamydia off of him. I think i had it for about 6weeks before i went to get checked out. I think this has also caused problems for me. But my sister caught it as well and had it longer than me, as she was with her old partner for a long time. But she conceived a child no problem.
I’m scared about seeking medical help as i’m only 20. I’m worried the Dr will turn around and say “too young, come back in 3 years” or something like that. But me and my partner have been together for 5 years. And we both want a child. They say the younger you are, the most fertile you are. So that’s what really annoys me!
