Hello, my name is Saarah
I tried to conceive for about 18 months with no success. I’m 23 years old and always had regular period (28 days cycle), but when I got married after couple months my cycle start changing from 28 to 30, 33, 35 to 39 day cycle. For the past two month I had UTI (kidney infection) and almost all antibiotics did not work for me except the last one. Right after this I was diagnosed with vaginosis, again I start taking antibiotics and just finished 2 weeks ago. Last month 05/08 my cycle changed 35 days cycle to 28 day cycle. So I’m not suppose to get my period until 6/14/08 but cycle changed again this month to 25 day cycle. I always have very painful periods; I can’t even go to school or work for the first 2 days. But I get menstrual cramps 1 1/2-2 weeks before my next cycle. I also have painful ovulation. I have about 1- 1 ½ of pain free of every month.
Also my lower abdominal hurts all the time even after period ended for the past 2 months. I though it was due the kidney infection but since I don’t have that anymore still hurts. I don’t know what to do anymore. I went to the Doctor (OBY.) and nothing had worked for me yet. They told me to try taking birth control pills but it may not work but it could help. Since I’m trying to have baby I don’t want it take it.
One of the OBY that I just went thinks that I might have endometriosis but she is not sure; she want me to have pelvic ultrasound but I can’t right now because my insurance will not cover it until the end of July. What should I do? I really don’t know what’s going on with me. I really need help and advice, and I would greatly appreciate any advice that you can give me.
Thanks, :(

Some types of medication such as Letrozole may help address some of the pain while helping you to get pregnant...Nevertheless, you should get tested for fertility given that you've been ttc for over a year with your doc, then appropriate treatment can be given..
