Me and my hubby are trying for our second child..I was on the orthro evra patch for 7 years after having my one and only son..I have been off for bout 5 months now,trying very hard to concieve(counting my days)...With NO luck!!!it took 4 years to concieve my first..I started trying at 18 yrs old with no luck,i turned 21 in AUG ...on OCT 18 i started AF... on OCT 31 i rolled ecstasy(narcotic)(LSD)(bout my 3 rd time ever,and my last) then 3 weeks later i peed on that magic stick and it was positive!! Had a very healthy normal pregnancy and Baby 9 mnths later...My question now is,was it the X that got me prego?? Will i ever concieve again with out it?? or was it just a fluke?? And why cant i get pregnant now? MY preriods runs like clock work,i got it down to the day!!Thank you for your replies in advance!! This question has haunted me for the last 7 years and i need to know what to look for in my baby making future!! I aint gettin no younger,and my son is begging for a baby brother or sister!!! THANKS!!

First of all, it WAS just a fluke. There are so many things that could be keeping you from getting pregnant. If you don't become pregnant after a year of trying, you may want to consult an RE. Or you couuld talk to your gyn about it now and see if they want to run some labs on you.

Hi... i am SURE it was NOT X. God has a plan 4 us all. We must just go WITH His plan & let things happen. The less u think about it, the better. U r stressing yourself out trying so hard (even tho I'm sure u r having a blast in the process... wink wink) & that is not helping. I have a couple of friends that tried & tried & tried again.... so much stress, than went the route of IVF & still nothing, so they "gave up" & said ok... it's just God's will 4 us not 2 have kids. PS... months later... it happened... no stress

i ran outta room....
ps... u guys r still soooo young.... my mom had me @ 42 after 3 other kids.... & that was in 1 9 5 8...... They didn't even know what a sonogram was back then!! 2day, women r having healthy babies @ 50 & sometimes beyond!! (y, I'll never know... i ran outta patience a LONG time ago!! lol)
Anyway.... get a better gyno, & maybe an endocrinologist... PLEASE stay away from recreational drugs... i'm sure u know that u should! :) Good luck, God bless... I am saying a prayer 4 you & The King!! Cathee

Thanks for your guys input,and no,i dont use recreational drugs any more :) WE where just young doin the experimental thing....my obgyn says everything looks just fine, he actually said my parts are positioned to suck sperm up like a vacuum and i should get prego easily,but this was after first baby..im wonderin now if my IF now isnt from 7 years of the patch??i was on the pill for 1 year b4 the 4 yrs of ttc with no luck!!So im really worried now that ive had that mess in me for the last 7 yrs!!

You should probably go and see an Infertility specialist. Has your gyn run any blood tests? Has your DH's sperm been tested? It could also just be unexplained infertility.....but I would def ask for a referral to an RE.....
