Hello I'm kinda new to all this , so please bare with me . I will try and explain the best way possible .
I am 31 and I already have a little girl who's 5years old . I am no longer with her father we separated when she was 4 years old . I am now on a long term relationship but for the past 8months we have never used protection . I have a tracker on my phone so when it days I'm ovulating we tend to do it more so then as I know sperm last 5 days inside of you . But I am still not falling pregnant , could it be cos both myself and my partner are on anti depressants . I am on a higher dose than him , I'm on venlafaxine 37.5mg 3 x a day . Could this affect me falling pregnant ? I'm due on in 8 days and my nipples have been very sore for the past week or so . I havnt spoken to any of my friends regarding this cos I feel I will just jinx it .
If anyone as any advice they are able to offer please will you leave your lovely comments so I can read through for reassurance that there is hope at the end of this .
Thank you xx

Hi

No real useful knowledge but maybe if you are trying to get pregnant a trip to the doctors to talk about your medication and the effects it could have would be useful for you Smile

It could also be because you just haven't given it enough time. 80% of couples will become pregnant in a year. 90% within two years.

I'd be thinking about visiting the gp in about 4/5 months if I were you.

I'm new too.

18months on ttc#3. All bloods are fine, husband's sample really good, hycosy clear. Still nothing.

I'm on antidepressants for anxiety and was through my last 2 pregnancies too.
