whoops i posted this in womens heath think its better suited here :)
Ok this is prob really silly to ask and no i havent seen my doctor yet! I have three kids whom were concieved out of the blue, i was on the pill for all of them and careful but still got pregnant! I didnt know i was pregnant till i was 23 weeks with my third child! Now 18months ago i had a severe car accident, my left side took the impact (we were tboned at 120kms per hour (about 70miles (i think not accurate sorry but a wild guess) The last 7 months hubby and i thought we would try for another one, no pill no baby still. I am only 29 so i am young and seeing all my other pregnancies were so simple and instant i am wondering if the car accident could have caused some damage? i was black from my shoulder to my ankle, had two broken ribs and a fractured sternum and severe seatbelt burns, as far as i know there were no internal injuries apart from the broken bones. Anyone had this problem?

I think your problem may be caused by the stress of the accident.I'm sure any physical damage would have been picked up on.When the body receives a bad shock it can shut down ovulation until a time when conception would be more favorable.It's a natural defense against getting pregnant when your body can't cope.Go and see your doctor or buy an ovulation kit to see if you are ovulating.

Since you were told there were no internal injuries I would think not. The accident is probably not causing it. Maybe you should consider going back on the pill since you seem to get pregnant then- not joking a friend of mine did that -went on the pill and then "forgot " it for a few days during ovulation time and got pregnant. I guess I think a trip to the doctor may answer a lot of questions for you. Ask the doc to check you out and make sure you are all right after such a bad accident-just in case!

I have not been i your situation nor do i know of anyone in a similar situation but if i were you i would make an appt to see you ob/gyn. Explain the situation and your concerns. There are many different tests they can do to make sure there was no damage done to your reproductive organs. One that i can think of off of the top of my head is the test where they inject dye into the uterus and use an ultrasound to check for blockage in the tubes and to check ovary function. I hope this helps and i hope you get the answers you are looking for. Good Luck

I havn't had your problem but going to see a docter to determine if you have had any interanal damage is probably your best bet. Maybe go back on the pill and you might fall pregnant again, it might have the opposite effect on you (LOL)!! Also look at your lifestyle, diet, weight etc often small changes are just the thing that will help you get pregant. For example my sister in-law was trying for years to get pregant and was seriously looking at IVF but she lost 5kg and changed her diet and fell pregant straight away.

Good Luck I hope this helps
