Hi me and my boyfriend are both young he is 21 and I am 20 before you judge us we have both me wanting a child since we met when I was 16 and he was 17 well we have been trying for 4 years and we have had no luck we have tried many things we have even visited out gp but it feels as though she is laughing at us because we are so young and they won't help I am to scared to go back and ask for any more advice and try to avoid the doctors as much as possible we don't smoke or drink I don't know what to do anymore please can someone give us some advice

Many thanks ann-marie

Many doctors prefer to help couple that are married rather than people who are dating in circumstances like this. That is a more stable environment to bring a child into the world. Yes, the couple can get divorced, however it is much harder and costly than two people who are in a reationship without that "contract."

You might consider trying to make an appointment with a fertility specialist. However, please do not be upset if they prefer not to treat you because of the marital issue.

Do you normally have 28 day cycles? Are your periods usually regular? How long do your periods last?

I have 32 day cycles and are usually very regular they last around 3-4 days

Have you tried using Ovulation predicter kits... the over the counter ones? You might be missing ovulation. Your periods are pretty short too, 3-4 days. Try using the ovulation kits and see if that helps. It's best to have intercourse the few days leading up to ovulation but for sure the day you ovulate is the best day. Good luck
