What Do I Ask My Doctor About Fertility and Still Be Taken Seriously?

I am 22 and my sweetie is 25 we are ttc for 6 months with no luck. Yes I kknow you should wait about a year of ttc before worrying but if something is wrong I want to know now. I'd like to go to the Dr. to to get myself checked out and make sure nothing is wrong but I don't know what tests to ask for and what questions to ask. Please help. Also most doctors don't take me seriously b/c I'm only 22 and most people think we're too young (I live in S.E. Florida everyone here is like 115). So we would really like to get pregnant this year and first I want to make sure I have a clean bill of health but I don't know the questions to ask about my reproductive health and if I should get tested for any problems. I hear a lot of couples our age concieve the first month or two that they try and we haven't yet. And yes I'm charting my periods, CM and ovulation...got off bc ages ago. So if anyone has already been through this meeting with the doctor please help me out. Thank You!

Answers:
Get your seminal fluid examined after one week of abstention.
If there are viable sperms and if they number 50 million or more per cc of sf, you will have a child by you if your sweetie ovulates regularly and if her fallopian tubes and uterus are of normal size.Also you have to make love on the day which is 14 days before the onset of her next menstruation. This will ensure synchronization of ovulation and availability of sperms at the site of fertilization, that is at the neck of the fallopian tube.

Never had your problem, but I'd suggest talking first to your Gyn. That's the best person to give you direction and a referral, if necessary, to a fertility specialist.
