Needing advice instead of loosing faith

I am 22 years old and married to my high school sweetheart.  We have been trying to get pregnant for about 8 months off and on.  We have not been taking any precautions for two years.  Just recently my periods had stopped completely so I went to  doctor.  My blood test and pap smear came back fine so I was placed on Provera to start a period.  Twenty-one days after the first day of that period I went in and had to get blood drawn to test my progesterone levels.  These levels were at .47 which is extremely low.  I have been told that I have to have a 5 to ovulate and a 10 to conceive.  Is their any hope for my husband and I?   Has anyone else had this problem and went on to have a baby?  The doctors are waiting to see if I have a period this month and if so we are repeating the blood test after 21 days.  If not I am being put back on Provera.  I was only on Provera for 5 days last time.  What steps can my husband and  I take?  I'm starting to lose faith.

It makes me very angry when doctors do this to very young woman like you!!! OF COURSE you will have a baby!!! Your eggs are there and they are YOUNG... it is amatter of giving you the correct treatment. I bet you will get pregnant if you do either IUI or ivf!!!! The fertility drugs are there to get your levels up!!!!! and they will get higher!!!!!!

Keep the hope HIGH!!!!
IT WILL WORK!!!!

Tons of woman in this forum try to conceive older (over 40) and still get pregnant after few trials..... girls your age are egg donors for some reason.... ..... You have your youth on your side and will have your baby...... and babies....!!!!!!!

Good luck!!!!

I sure hope I get to be a mommy some day!  Thanks.  I am currently in the beginning stages of being diagnosed.  They are saying that with treatment they should be able to get my levels up.  I really do pray that the treatment works.  They didn't say I was infertile. I saw a specialist and they are trying to take the least expensive approach right now.  It is just the pain of thinking I may have failed my husband not being able to give him a child.

I am trying to not lose faith.  I was told that with treatment I should be able to get pregnant.  I think it is just the frustration.  What treatment did you go through to have your little girl?

I am soooo sorry you are having to go through this. I agree with beyondready though, there are so many options today, that I can't believe you will not find a way to have your dream of a baby come true.  I don't know if your seeing an RE or not, but I would suggest you make an appointment to talk to one.  They can inform you of your options, and let you know what is available.  
Please don't give up!!!  You will be a mommy some day!  Have Faith : )

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through.  I would not lose faith at all.  There is so much that can be tried and be done now.  My husband and I found out after we were married that we could not have a baby on our own and there were many times I wanted to run away and to just give up but we didn't.  We had many ups and downs but the end result is that I have beautiful baby girl that is almost nine months old and everything we went through was all worth it.  Sometimes I think the strong people in this world get dealt the lousy hand because we can handle it and it makes what we want that much more precious.  Don't give up and love each other lots, stay strong.
