is there any kind of substance that could be put into the food of soldiers at war to prevent them from getting the female soldiers pregnant, from? The reason I ask is that since my husband returned home from Iraq 7 months ago, not one of the soldiers in his unit has become pregnant, or gotten their wives pregnant, despite the fact that a lot of them have been trying to get pregant.

"Salt Peter", don't know about currently, but the military used to put it in our food, also used in prisons & cigarettes...

I heard that a lot of women get those shots so that they don't get pregnant and have fewer periods, but I don't think they force them too, it's the female soldier's choice. My husband's unit is deployed, my one friend got pregnant while her husband was home on R&R, and so did another girl I know, and yet another friend thinks she may be, her husband was home last month for his 2 weeks. One of the female soldiers got pregnant while she was home on R&R. She found out after she returned to the desert so they had to send her back to the unit since she could't be deployed and pregnant. It does sound strange though that nobody has gotten pregnant from your husband's unit, there's usually a baby boom once a unit returns from down-range.

Several chemicals can do that. Irradiation can do that. X rays can do that. Even the practice of aiming hundreds or thousands of police issue radar guns at a single soldier can do that over time. But I wouldn't worry. Your nothing to GWB. And He's all you should (or perhaps today legally can) worship. Certainly you knew that when you supported him? He sent you into a place where there were more Chemical, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineers than per capita the US has. He's asked you to sit about while they develop counters to your every technology and or apply technologies of their own creation to your extermination. He has maimed your support engineers (like myself - a victim of a Conservative death squad that didn't quite kill me with that baseball bat or those 11 22 mag. rounds.) He has not only dropped the ball, he has placed it in a hermetically sealed room where no decent fellow could possibly get to it under guard.
If you or yours are sterile there are simple tests to confirm it. If you are capable of using a microscope you yourself can see if the boys do indeed swim.
If you have the ability to build a laproscope with a tiny suction tube you can likely as not sterilize it (rather than yourself) and harvest an egg. Today this is ever more easy as cameras are tiny things indeed and "memory metals" are available from Edmund Scientific. With a bit of electrical current these metals spring so one can build a nifty snake-able laproscope that will beat anything your doctor has available for under $500 and "run it in" via computer control.
Then you can perform en vetro (sic) fertilization. Veterinarians have done so for over 100 years. This wouldn't prove of course that your boys are good, but growing the child to full size might; but it would take twenty or so years.
But of course this would all be illegal if your not a licensed person in these fields. Speaking of legal, did you know most people think US soldiers are crazy to fight in Iraq and crazy persons in many states can indeed be sterilized.

The war overseas has nothing to do with fertility. I know lots of women are or have been pregnant. My husband has been deployed 6 times and yes it took us a while after the 5th deployment to get pregnant with our current child.
Stress can play a role of not getting pregnant. Have your husband get a physical done. My husband was diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol which caused us not to conceive but after he took the meds he was fine...they could not figure out how he got the medical problem but stress can make you sick. The stress of being in a war zone is for real. It takes more than 7 months to get over what they have seen over there.

no there is nothing the army puts in the food. if that were the case there wouldnt have been soldiers in Iraq getting pregnant. seems that they are just unlucky at the moment as far as trying to get pregnant. they should stop trying them they probably will.

Nope, did your husband get sprayed by something and they wont tell him what it was? Or do you mean a pill?
Those female soldiers are fortunate, many are pregnant, and many wives are pregnant from Soldiers who came home on leave, and now will have babies by themselves until he returns.

No, but stress can make conception more difficult.
My nephew's wife got pregnant in less than 3 months that he was home between deployment. He is a sniper & got deployed again to Iraq sooner than expected.

maybe they were exposed to airborne WMD that everyone keeps denying are there...Except the brave men and women who have to see them day in and day out over there...Some degraded chemical munitions make you sterile...Mustard gas is one kind
