I was on depo-provera for a year and a half and have been off of it for almost 3 years. I am not on birth control and haven't been for 2 and a half years. I worry that I should of been pregnant by now and that there might be something wrong with me. I know that my husband is fertile but I have never been pregnant.
But we aren't trying to get pregnant and my doctor says that I shouldn't worry unless we are actively trying to get pregnant since there are only certain times of the month when you can get pregnant. Also, we don't have sex that often. But i still can't help but wonder should i be pregnant by now.
Help. Only serious answers please.

If you aren't trying and you don't have sex that often, then I have no reason to see why you'd expect to be pregnant. I'm thinking you've been scared as you were growing up into believing that (unprotected sex = pregnancy). It doesn't... it just means that there is a great enough risk that you wouldn't want to try it with a one-night stand or even a person you aren't sure you want to spend your life with.
So don't worry about it... if your doctor says there is nothing wrong with you then there is nothing wrong with you.

I was on the depo too after I had my son. I was on it for a little over a year. It took me over three years before I became pregnant with my daughter. We had been trying for over a year and started to see the doctor and then all of sudden I was pregnant. If you aren't having sex that much then that would explain why you aren't getting pregnant. If you don't have sex at the right time of the month you are not going to get pregnant. Once you decide you want to get pregnant and acutally try to get pregnant I am sure it probley won't take you long at all. I hope it doesn't take you as long as it took me. Everyone is different though.

I don't think you should be worried. If you are eager to conceive, I think you should make a point to have sex during your fertile times. That is about 13 to 16 days after day 1 of your period, at which time your vaginal discharge is clear and looks like egg whites. Alternately you can purchase an ovulation kit at the drug store. Good luck! Give it another year of actively trying before you get worried.

You really need to start trying, even if just in order to find out whether you can or whether it's going to be a long slow haul. Yes, indeed, there are only certain times of month that you can conceive, but recognising them depends on your periods being reasonably regular.
If you don't have sex that often the chances of you getting pregnant are at best very low indeed.

If your not actively trying to get pregnant and you dont often have sex, the it would make sense that youve missed all your fertile days for nearly three years.
You can buy ovulation test strips in bulk on ebay from medical wholesalers and pee on one every day for a couple months to find out when and if you're ovulating. That will help calm your fears.

Are you over 35? in case your no longer then you do not have any longer something to pressure about. if you're older then you will probably pass see your well being care provider about it at 6 months. they opt to commence in the previous with sorting out with older dad and mom. you may want to easily be attempting to frustrating. The month i replaced into going to be away for ovulation, I were given pregnant. I ovulated early and we werent questioning about it. So have a outstanding dinner and a warmth bath, and performance relaxing. pressure loose.

It is possible that since you aren't having sex that often that you are just missing the days that it would be possible to conceive. Start charting your basal body temp and keep track of when you are having sex (you can do that here www.fertiltiyfriend.com) if you are having sex around the time you are ovulating and not getting pregnant then start to worry.

If you're concerned, and you're ready for the responsibility of a child, start trying to get pregnant. Have sex right in the middle of your cycle and see what happens!

listen to your doctor. dont worry untill you r starting to try and have a baby. for starters, you'll need to have a lot more sex because you can only get pregnant in such a short time period each month. you'll be fine and dont worry about this. good luck

I would definetly see another doctor. You should ovulate aprox 10 days after the end of your period. It sounds like your Dr. is not giving you much information.
