eek, sorry for the long post...
hubby and i have been ttc since january, so far without success. this is the second month of using the clearplan monitor, which, fwiw, says that i am ovulating every month. i expect af either on fri, or sat of this week, and unfortunately, i feel pms-y, so i think it's going to happen.
so here's my question..i am 23 years old, and am wondering what's taking so long...my friends seem to get pregnant simply by looking at a man, lol. i never imagined that it would take as long as it already has. i have at various times, and by various drs, been told that i have endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and a fibroid tumor. i have also been told that i am "fine", and that there is nothing wrong with me..lol. i had a laparoscopy several years ago, which was basically inconclusive. also, i have a history of having had an eating disorder, pretty much from the time i was about 12 onwards, although i have been doing much better over the last few years, and should be fairly close to my minimum target wieght (can't say for sure, don't own a scale.). i have also been told by various people in the medical field that my eating disorder might have an impact on my fertility, or might not.
anyway, i know that traditional wisdom says that you shouldn't get worried, or go to the dr re: possible infertility, for at least a year, but i feel like maybe under the circumstances, it would be appropriate...what do you think?
i don't want to seem like i am jumping the gun, or go to the dr, and be blown off, as i have so many times before..(i'm sure some of you with difficult to diagnose "female troubles" can relate to being blown off by drs who simply because they can't figure out what is wrong, will tell you that nothing is wrong...)
