Is it weird to want to know if I’m ovulating at a young age?

Question

I previously got pregnant and lost the baby. My heart broke. I didn’t plan the pregnancy but I was excited and pretty ready. I am 16 years old and I have a high school diploma. I am going to college in January and ever since I lost my child I have just wanted to get my body under control. I am worried I am no longer ovulating. A doctor previously told me I have PCOS and it kind of scares me. I want to know when I’m ovulating and when I’m not and when I should have my periods and what is normal but I’m a little nervous to ask my doctor. I know I’m young but I feel like this is something that has been bothering me. I just don’t want my doctor thinking I’m trying to conceive now because I feel like I would be judged. I have my own place of living and am emancipated and pretty well off in life. If I’m trying to conceive is that a bad thing seeing as my age? And how should I talk to my doctor? Is what I am feeling normal? I’m posting for advice.

Answer

I started living on my own at about 16 years old too. If you’re anything like I was you’re smart and resourceful, but you’ll end up doing what you want to do regardless of the advice you get. Since you asked for advice I’ll give you some, but it’s up to you whether you take it or not....
Regarding trying to conceive - You are young, very young. You feel like you’re ready, and at your age I thought I was too. However, if you want to go to college or further your education that will be very difficult with a child. Not impossible, but very hard. I imagine you want the best life possible for your child seeing as how your own childhood was probably a little rough or you wouldn’t be living independently. The best life you can give them means you having a career, a vehicle, a partner to help you balance work and raising a child, and time to spend with them. The best thing for you and your future child is for you to enjoy doing things that you won’t have time for once you’re a parent. Go to concerts, travel, when you’re 21 hit some clubs, consider what career you want and if it requires college excel in your education. Spend time pampering yourself and buying nice clothes and things for your place. Once you have a kid all your money goes to them. Strollers, car seats, diapers, cribs, clothes, high chairs, baby swings, breast pumps or bottles, toys, and doctors visits are all things you’ll have to afford and have time for. So for now, my honest advice is spoil yourself while you can. 
Concerning your cycle - absolutely reach out to your doctor for a recommendation to an Ob/Gyn. Start tracking your cervical position, firmness, and mucus. Maybe buy some OPKs. Have the specialist do a work up and make a list of all your questions. They might recommend birth control to help regulate your cycle. Take it. Make sure you know your body, and when you’re ready to conceive it will be that much less confusing and complicated.

Your so young hun! I had my first son at the age of 17 if I could turn back time so I could’ve waited a couple more years I would ! Don’t get me wrong I love my kids I love my first born it was a fuxkin struggle though . Focus on college get that degree you want babygirl 🤩🥳 have fun go out do  you because once you have a baby your focus is on the baby!

Answer

It is normal for what you are feeling I am sure some day you want to have a baby and know that you can. But you should be able to talk to your doctor comfortably without feeling judged. But if you are comfortable then you should just ask those questions now rather than waiting and finding out later that you can’t and it would be a journey to be come a mom.
