Going to the doctor for the first time for our infertility should I be this scared?

Copied this from my blog as it was to much to retype (I needed to explain my situation more) Please read....

So now to our journey so far... my husband and I have been together since November of 2007 and we only actively used condoms for the first 3 months of our relationship then in April of 2008 I started birth control because I wasn't sure what I wanted out of my future, with college and everything. After about a month or two I stopped taking the pill religiously. I guess you can say birth control wasn't that important to me. I was in love with a great guy that already talked about wanting to marry me and have a family. Yes it was stupid considering I was only seventeen, but looking back now the age doesn't matter, if I had gotten pregnant back then our situation would have been a lot different than if it had happened now, my parents definitely wouldn't have approved (I should have mentioned that my now husband was four years older and in his last year of college). But anyway I wasn't taking birth control like I should have been and I didn't get pregnant but I didn't think much of it at the time because we weren't actively trying.

In November of 2008 Nick asked me to marry him and I said yes. In April of 2009 we decided to start trying for a baby then in July of 2009 we were married and have been happy ever since.
I thought I would have gotten pregnant right away but I didn't and in January of 2010 I went to see my doctor because all this time I didn't have any periods accept when I was on birth control.

So I went in and had my annual exam I told the doctor that I had not had a period since I stopped birth control or for like ten months before I started the pill. She said okay well I think you have PCOS she wrote me a script for 1500 mg of metphomin and told me if I don't get pregnant in six months to come back. She never did any tests at all. I came back to the doctor about six months later because I had bronchitis and as she was walking out the door I asked for a refill on the metphormin she wrote it and walked away, no follow up questions what so ever. We were between insurances and I realized that doctor was a quack and I didn't go back.



---So this is my first OFFICIAL doctors appointment about my fertility issues and I am terrified at what will happen and I am so scared that they won't be able to help me. But should I be this scared? I am so worried I feel sick and I just want to cry I am terrified!

dont feel scared their are many options available to you if you got pcos, I have been diagnoised with pcos myself and had a baby. If you got a good doctor they will expalin your many option some very affordable such as ovulation medication such as clomid.
Also the best times to have intercourse so the times of the month you are most fertile. etc. Best of luck and sending baby dust your way

Try not to be scared. I was and as soon as i walked into the doctors office I burst into tears. I got offered day 21 bloods and my OH to have his SA done. My results have come back showing i do ovulate but we are waiting until wednesday to get my OHs SA results.

I would say they will start with that are maybe check if you do indeed have PCOS??

I dont think I read it, but did the medication restart your periods? x

Being scared is natural in this situation, you're about to alter your life one way or another in a big way! Don't worry too much, but do your own research to make sure you get tested for everything BEFORE they start infertility treatments. I know you might want to look for the doctor who will "fix it the quickest", but I've heard so many horror stories about girls who just walked in and walked out with a script for clomid without a S.A, blood work, internal sonogram, etc. But trust me, its just not worth it!

I hope you get all the answers you're looking for and find the perfect doctor match. Good luck on your baby-making journey!!
