How can I be taken seriously??! L

Question

Hey ladies, 
So I have been ttc with my partner for a year and a half now, I’m 23 and he’s 27. 
I have been to the doctor a few months ago, and although nice the doctor told me I should wait 2 years before being concerned. 
Does anyone have any advice on how to be taken seriously by the doctor about fertility? I don’t want to be fobbed off by ‘keep trying’ or ‘take vitamins’ 
Thank you  xx

Answer

I'm from the UK and I'm 25, so is my partner. We got tests done after a year. The doctor told us you have to try for a year first and then they will check if anything is wrong. I'm a little confused as to why they are telling you to wait 2 years.

Answer

It’s probably because you’re both young
It took us 14 cycles to conceive, but that ended in a missed miscarriage and it took another 13 cycles before I fell pregnant with my daughter
It’s really not unusual to try for over a year

Answer

Took us four and a half years to get pregnant and we were told the same, unfortunately it is a bit of a waiting game and then a tick box exercise to get referred. 
Didnt get referred for testing until it had been more than two years ACTIVELY trying.. (we didnt go back right at the two year mark though) all the tests we did have then came back normal and we were "diagnosed" with unexplained infertility and were going to be referred for ivf. I fell pregnant naturally in December of last year and we are now patiently waiting the arrival of our baby girl. I know its frustrating and a horrible time but please dont give up. If it helps I changed two things round about the time I got pregnant.. i had fertility acupuncture a few times and i started taking supplements (DHA and coq10). 
I hope you get the answers you're looking for soon. 
Good luck on your journey 💖💖

Answer

I went through the same with my ex husband we’d been trying just over a year and our doctor referred us to see a fertility specialist, because I had my daughter from a previous relationship they said it’s clear I can have kids. When they tested my ex he basically had a low sperm count and is unable to have kids, we were offered IVF but we had to pay because of the fact that I can conceive.

Answer

My friend is struggling too and is been more than 2 years, so she had an ultrasound and was told she just ovulated and everything is normal with her. She is waiting for her partner to be tested. Some doctors say a year of trying 🤷🏼‍♀️. Do you track your ovulation?
