help and advice!
To cut a long story short, my mum had a hard time ttc when she was younger. She had ovarion cysts and a cancer scare and needed treatment, also it took her a number of years to fall pregnant. I am 21 (yes I am young but before I get into an argument I own a house, am married and me and my husband have amazing jobs ((he is 24yrs old)) we have been ttc for over a year now. And I am extremely worried that because I havent gotten pregnant yet that there might be some underlying problem. I went to my doctor today (although I had a stand in as my general doctor is on holiday) and I started to explain to her (although she was quite rude and jumpy) so the first thing I tried to say was I wanted to see a gynocologist and get everything checked as I am worried as when I ovulate and have periods they are extremely painful to the point I cant walk. I told her this and she decided she would tell me thats normal in young people starting a period. To which I told her I was 21 and have had periods for just over 11yrs. And that I had a "scare" last year in June where I missed my very regular period by 3 weeks and had negative oregnancy tests and then a huge amount of blood and pain. She then asked me if I had had a smear (which I was never told I needed before the age of 25 so I said no and she then asked what contraception I was on to which I replied none that me and my husband were trying to conceive for over 1 year and I was not getting pregnant and thats the whole reason I went to see her. She then told me I needed a smear test and a blood test (to see if I am alergic to anything) and that the smear will give her information. All I wanted to know was if I was fertile or not and I feel I was pushed away as I was the last appointment and she didnt have time. Is this right? I thought they would Check my ovaries? And an ultrasound? Especially seeing as my mum had the cysts and possible ovarian cancer at such a young age? I now dont know what to do as I reslly dont want to see her again she isnt my usual doctor and I get the impresion she couldnt give a monkeys! Any advice and help is welcome. Thank you!
