writes:Hi everyone.So, I have fertility problems or I'm likely to have them.I'm in my early 20's. I've been having many issues with my period since late 2010, by then I was going thru a really stressing time. Before this I was more or less regular, I did miss periods but nothing out of the normal. Ever since this date my periods started to get all twisted. I had them, then they wouldn't come for 2 or 3 months and so on. I first thought it would be stress affecting me so I tried to not get stressed and started taking things easy in life, but nothing changed. Since then too I gained around 20 pounds, I've been always overweighted though, around size 12-14.I know I should've been to doctor at the time this all started but I didn't have a health insurance or any kind of health care coverage, so this stopped me.I don't have an active sex life, I do have a boyfriend I've been seeing since 2009 but we havent't had sex yet. Now I'm in college I could get a health insurance, I started going to the doctor in may this year. She was rude and didn't seem helpful, she just said I should lose weight and quit sugar to get my period back. She sent me to the nutriologist, he gave me some kind of eating plan I've been following since then. I've lost around 15 pounds in these 2 months. I had my period on may and then again in june but this month it hasn't come. I'm feeling very worried, I've had some period symptoms such as sore breasts and some weird pains in the lower stomach but no period.My next appointment with the doctor will be in 1 month then if she sees it's something related to my reproductive organs/hormones she will send me to gyneco. I've been reading about PCOS (polycystic ovaries) and I think I could have that and that makes me terrified.I've been feeling horrible lately. My boyfriend and I really want to have our own kids, it makes me feel extremely bad the thought of being infertile. I feel like less of a woman, like a failure. He knows about this and supports me unconditionally but I feel it's unfair for him to be tied to a woman like me that may never give him kids. I don't know for sure if I am infertile but as I see this, I think I'll likely have problems in my reproductive life. I feel so bad about myself. I think he could do it better with a healthy girl. He's a wonderful person and I'm deeply in love with him, thats why I feel so bad of the thought of not being enough of a woman for him.I am so young to go through these kind of issues, maybe I deserve to be alone :(This is seriously affecting negatively my relationship and how I see myself.I don't know if anyone out there are or have been in a situation like mine but I would appreciate much if any of you shared your experiences, advices or anything with me. I feel hopeless and depressed.Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Well to be honest depression is a bad thing first you should try to seek help for your depression I also went through depression for three years and its getting better with the help of lifeline.another thing is u shouldn't be reading health blogs and diagnosing urself because I can tell u I went to five dr and they all said its depression I didn't trust them so I read ever health blog and I had all the symptoms of every disease in actuall fact I was never sick it was just my mind playing games.
