I personally think that you should not take fertility drugs this soon. Be sure that there is a problem physically with either you or your husband that is cleared up before you resort to this type of remedy. Relax, what's the rush anyway? You're only 20. I waited until I was 36 to have a kid and had lots of adventures along the way that I would have missed out on having to stay home and raise a kid.

HOW long have you been trying? And what does your OB/GYN say about it? Have you had any fertility TESTING done?

I think you have to be in your mid to late twenties to take fertility drugs, or perhaps you best speak with a gynocologist before attempting to take any.

Hey guys, well every time I talk to my obgyn, he always says I'm fine, but I feel like I know my body better then anyone, and for some reason I have it in my head that I cant. He tells me that if I have a normal period then I'm fine. But I just think it goes deeper then that. I asked about fertility and he laughed at me. My husband is getting deployed soon(iraq) and we want to have a baby before he goes. I know he'll be fine but there is always that what if factor in my head

Then get a new doctor and a second opinion.

You need a prescription for fertility pills anyway.

And frankly--it takes most couples an average of a year to get pregnant. If it has been longer than a year with you tracking your ovulation, then your doctor should take you seriously. However, if it's been just a couple months--your doctor is probably right.

Not to make a judgement on your decision or anything--but have you talked to any other military wives/widows about having kids while your husband is deployed? I realize this is a very personal decision, but you will essentially be a single mom while he is gone, and he will miss out on the pregnancy and first several months of the child's life. That's not fair to any of you, really. I'm not trying to tell you "don't do it"--I just want you to be sure you know what you're getting into.
