Yes, it's called secondary infertility.
I pulled this info from resolve.org
Although over three million Americans are affected by the painful experience of secondary infertility, it generally remains an unacknowledged and invisible condition. Secondary infertility is defined as the inability to become pregnant, or to carry a pregnancy to term, following the birth of one or more biological children. Even though the couple already has a child, the couple experiences secondary infertility as the loss of a child, the loss of pregnancy, and the loss of childbirth.

Actually, having a child often leads to more children as everything has been stretched and open. But many factors could lead to infertility including infections or cysts, medical issues relating to the cause.

women become infertile for many reasons, whether they had a child before or not.

Yes. It took me 8 months to get pregnant with my son. Now I have been trying to get pregnant for 20 months. With my first son I had endemetreosis. Now I had a fold in my uterus that I just got fixed a few months ago, but I'm still not pregnant. Completely different reasons. Hope that helps in some way.

I have never heard of that, except in cases of ectopic pregnancies, which damage your tubes... But other than that, I am fairly sure that you cannot become infertile from having a normal, safe pregnancy.

Yes. We got pregnant with our son without trying. It took us almost 3yrs to get pregnant with our daughter. Turns out I have PCOS and didnt know it...my son was a miracle because he was concieved without fertility meds.
