Trying for #3…No luck?
Me and my husband are trying for number 3 (number 4 if you count my ectopic pregnancy in 2006, we count him but some people don’t.) We have an 8 y/o girl and a 20 m/o girl. After my youngest was born I went on Mirena, but it fell out. I can’t remember to takethe pill, so I went on the depo shot. I took my last dose June of 2008. Didn’t get my period back until Dec. Skipped it in Jan. Had one in Feb., and now I’m skipping it again, I know I’m skipping it because all pregnancy tests are coming back negative. Any suggestions. I have only one tube as a result of my ectopic. I’m beginning to thinkI won’t ever become pregnant. Please give me advice or suggestions that may help, my insurance doesn’t pay for fertility treatments and we can’t afford them. Could it also be possible that my husband being on 12 medications at the moment have made him sterile. Its mainly for his chronic back pain, depression, allergies and high blood pressure.

Was your husband taking all those medications 2 years ago when you got pregnant with your youngest? Some medications may have an effect on his sperm count. Checking his sperm is easy and cheap so even if your insurance doesn’t cover it it might be a good idea to have it checked out if you are concerned.
Give yourself time some time. Many woman experience irregular ovulation or skipped periods when they get off Depo or other types of BC. Also, it might take you a bit longer to get pregnant (even when your periods get back to normal) because of the fact that you only have 1 tube.
Have patience…. don’t assume you will never have another child just because its taking you some time to get pregnant.
