Iam only 19, and have been married for two years now without concieving after going for blood tests at my GP's i was told that im not ovulating. This worries me a great deal. I have been referred to have a pelvic scan, and to see a fertility doctor. However the waiting lists on the NHS are so long that i will be waiting a good few months until i will be able to even speak to a doctor.
I married into an asian family and the pressure to concieve is great, i need someone to tell me what is going on and what can i do about it, i'm fairly certain that it would be the end of my marriage if i couldnt give me husband this he wants it so badly and i have no one to talk to about this worry i have. :cry: i want to know some of the reasons why i could not be ovulating and what i can do to make me ovulate.

 Hi safi01,
Did your physician give you any indication of what he/she thinks the problem is? Do you have a thyroid disorder, diabetes, overweight etc.? Was PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) discussed?
Sincerely,
Rntdj

Hi safi01,
If PCOS is present the ovaries aren't functioning properly so yes it would be difficult to conceive. A pelvic ultrasound is used to identify anomalies of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus etc.
Sincerely,
