HELP!!

Okay last year on October 30, 2013 I got the depo shot. Only got it that once and decided I was gonna try to have a baby. Well it's been a little over a year and I still can't get pregnant! For the first couple months my periods were off track and would come at a different time each month. Well the past  3 months they have became normal and I get them about the same time. I keep track of when I'm fertile and ovulation and have sex at least 3-4 Times that week I'm ovulation. Why am I not getting pregnant?!?!

What are you using to track your ovulation?
They say it's 15 days after your period stops but that's not true for everyone.
a friend of mine went by the 15 days thing and had been trying for 7 months having intercourse every day in the "fertile window". She still hadn't gotten pregnant. She picked up some ovulation tests and started testing every day after her period stopped only to find out that she actually ovulated 3 days after her period. With that now figured out she tried again in her actual fertile window and got pregnant the month after. She is now the mother of a beautiful baby boy.

you may me trying at the wrong time and not even know it. She bought the wondfo brand of ovulation tests of amazon.com because you get 50 of them for like 15 bucks so you'll be able to test everyday leading up to your ovulation without having to spend a ton of money

If it's been over a year, you might want to see the doctor.  He or she can run some tests to ensure that everything working correctly and give you some suggestions for increasing your chances of getting pregnant.
