Hi tmc081509,

Have you ever been diagnosed with Poly-cystic ovary syndrome? It basically prevents women from ovulating regularly. It could be that you may have this. You'll need to do an ultrasound to confirm.
I've always heard that if a woman is overweight or underweight that it could be quite difficult to conceive. Have you given any thought to losing some weight? I have a friend who was in the same situation as you and when she lost weight, her periods became regular, which obviously helps in the baby making department.
I know that it's tough to lose weight, but that is probably where you'll need to start.

Why is no one doing blood work on you? Do you have a general practitioner that you can go to to look at your overall health?

I hope that you get the answers that you need soon. It's tough to want a baby so badly and not knowing why it's not happening.

Keep me posted!

Baby dust to you!

My periods have always been regular i have never had a problem with that. When I had my pap smear last year the Dr said every thing was healthy and no reason I should not be able to get pregnant. I had went to the health dept to do a pregnancy test which was neg. i had told them that i have been taking one 3 times a week for months and i asked if they would do blood work on me and they flat out told me no i didnt need blood work. I have no insurance or anything anymore. When I turned 21 it was canceled. I am trying to lose weight but it seems the more i try to lose I gain more.. uhhh i hate this. thank you so much. ill keep you posted.
