Can depression decrease my chances of getting pregnant?

My boyfriend and I have been trying to get pregnant since February of 2006; so far, nothing. I've dealt with depression for the past 3 1/2 years. I was on medication but have stopped because we wanted to have children and thought that would be the best. It is now May 2006 and we have nothing. Could my depression kill my chances of getting pregnant? I am 5'7", 180lbs, and 21-years old. What am I doin' wrong!?

Hi Spotted20. Our mental state has alot to do with our bodies and infertility caused by stress and mental health is common, but.....Honey, you have only been trying for 3 months. Do you know that it takes an average of a year for a woman to get pregnant? It took me 18 month to get pg with my son, who is 4. And now I have been ttc #2 for 2 years. Dont stress it, try to enjoy it and do something for yourself may be yoga or acupuncture to substitute your medications. Lots of luck and stay healthy.

hey sweetie pie, they say the average healthy couple will conceive within a year, even within two years. so don't worry. if you would like to feel better about it all, i would suggest talking to your obgyn.
