Why? A bit young to decide you have fertility issues.

If they are prescribed by a physician. If you mean under your health insurance it depends as to what is covered.

Yes Jessa, they can give them at 18. If they are prescribed for you.

See your doctor to get a prescription.

Jessa... your doctor won't give you fertility pills to straighten out your periods. They are only prescribed, or should be only prescribed, after testing has been done to determine whether you are ovulating and you are trying to become pregnant.

PCOS can make it more difficult to conceive for some women, but plenty of women who have PCOS have children.

When you are ready to start trying to become pregnant, your doctor can run some more tests at various times of your cycle to determine, what if any, medical assistance you may benefit from.

They weren't giving you a lecture... ALL prescription medications HAVE to be prescribed by a physician... thats just how it works. And the medications being discussed do require a doctors prescription.
