Suggest Methods Of Attaining Pregnancy

Hi, Can someone please help me? I have been with my partner for 2 years now.... we are due to get married next year (yay!) I came off the Depo-Provera in January (the month it was due). Since coming off the injection, my periods have been pretty sore (one of which involved hospitalisation in April) but they are now in a regular pattern and a little less painful. My fiance and I have been trying to conceive ever since coming off the pill but no such luck We have exhausted nearly every option ie: ovulation kits, pregnacare conception tablets, evening primrose oil blah blah blah but nothing seems to be working I am 24 but I don t feel comfortable talking to my GP just yet so I was hoping some of you may have some advice for me.... it really is starting to drive me crazy. I was on the depo for 3 years previously but came off it for a year and then only had one jab which was in November last year, I came off it because my GP advised against it because I had been on it for so long before. Please Please Please can someone give us some advice?!?! I am slowly starting to give up hope

Hi,
Relax, first of at 24 years, and just off an long term contraceptive, you need to stop trying so hard. Ovulation kits, pregnacare, evening primrose are not really effective in conception, it would depend on the cause of infertility.
You need to try naturally (without any reason to be that something is not normal) for a year.
85% of couples will conceive naturally. If at the end of a year you are not pregnant, we could evaluate you then.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
