I want to start TTC but I have been on Birth control for almost 6 years. Here is my problem I was on Depo for 4 years, 2yrs too long, the patch for 1 1/2 years and on pills fromthat point until last month. I have a 6 yr old. I am affraid there is something wrong with me but all the doctor says is your young and everything looks good. I heard it's always harder to concieve the second time around. What can I do to get pregnant other than have sex every other day, take prenatal vitamins, and drink lots of water? I heard that Geritol can help does anyone know anything about this?

I suggest that you start charting your cycles with BBT (Basal Body Temp.), a chart service such as FertilityFriend.com, and know that it will take a few cycles for your body to get use to work on it's own, and not with the help of the hormones from your birth control.

I don't know anything about the Geritol thing, but I was on the pill for 7 years and I got pregnant 4 weeks after I stopped taking it. However, I was never on Depo, and I've heard that that can cause problems conceiving later, but I don't know that for sure. Good luck. If your doc says everything is fine, I wouldn't worry about it.

STOP STRESSING
That is the best advice that there is.
I managed to get pregnant successfully three times after the age of forty

ovulation tests will tell you when you are ovulated and ready to concieve... they are like $12 or something..
