Q: Is There An Age Limit On Fertility Drugs?

Hi, my name is Emily and I am 20 years old. I am happily married to a man named Elvoid, he's 25. We really want to try for children but I don't think I am fertil, I have not had a period since I was 12 years old, except for when I was on Birth Control. I was wandering if there is any sort of age limit on fertility drugs? If anyone knows I would love your advice, thank you so much.

I think you should go see a doc as to why you have not had a period since you were 12.

good luck to you

if you aren't having periods then you probably are not ovulating.
if you haven't had a period since you were 12 it is possible that you have suffered early menopause.

only a doctor can really answer this for you.

if your ovaries are not functioning, fertility drugs probably aren't going to help you much.
