In 2005 I was forced to have an abortion and I was in matric straight after the abortion I was put onto the Noristerat contraception, now I am 24 years of age and stopped using it for about two years now and am in a wonderful relationship and about to get married have a good job but am not falling pregnant, is there anything I can do to enhance my chances again? PLEASE HELP...
I REALLY WANT TO BECOME A MOTHER...

Are you having regular cycles? Your last injection was 2 years ago? It can take some women quite a bit of time to become pregnant after using contraception like Noristerat. You came off the injections about 2 years ago, but have you actually been trying to become pregnant for that entire time... if not, how long has it been? Most couples will become pregnant within a year of actually trying, some a bit longer and still be perfectly normal. Have you been able to determine when you are most likely ovulating... tried ovulation predictor kits, temping/charting for example? Are you having frequent intercourse throughout each cycle?

Well as for intercourse we only have time during weekends as I am away from home mon - fri, myt that also be the problem? We have been trying now for two years again only during weekends... he just got circumsised about a week ago because he had his own dificalties as well so are there any chances that we stand a better chance when he heals?

Could just be a matter of timing... if possible try to focus on Monday morning and then again Friday evening... and anywhere in between the two. When you are close to ovulating, while most sperm will live for only 2-3 days, some may live a bit longer. The egg you release will usually be viable for about 24 hours, so trying to have sperm ready and waiting for the egg usually gives the best odds of pregnancy. As you go through a number of cycles, sooner or later your timing will be on the mark. Of course timing is only part of it, so if you still don't become pregnant after maybe a few more months of trying, consider seeing your doctor for perhaps some initial testing for both of you. You can certainly see your doctor sooner as well. The circumcision won't effect the chances one way or the other.
