doctor said I don't have "sex hormones"?

Question

I accompanied my mom a few years back to see her usual doctor and he gave me 1 look and said that if I am trying to get pregnant in future, it will be hard because I have lack of sex hormones? What does it even mean? In the end, he prescribed some zinc gluconate..? Now that I am starting to ttc, it worries me 😓

Answer

You took your mom to the doctor and that doctor diagnosed you?  How on someone else's appointment. And you take medicine he told you too? Not cool. If your trying for a baby establish a relationship with a doctor of your choice and get all your test done to see what you need.

Answer

He can't make a diagnose without actually examining you & running test. And if he's not a fertiltiy specialist then he's just talking out of his butt

Answer

that doesn't make any sense at all

Answer

Definitely get a second opinion. Unless he actually diagnosed you with something, you can't be sure. I think you should go see a different doctor to see what they think.

Answer

I feel like there's a lost in translation situation happening here.

Answer

That makes zero sense .. no doctor can look at someone and just determine fertility.  It takes labs and blood work ect . That was a pretty unprofessional heartless thing to say and I cannot imagine what prompted him to say that.  What a weirdo! I wouldn't put any stock into his "diagnosos" without an exam and testing no one could know that!
