Not ovulating?

So my period had always been irregular but in May 2015 I ended up pregnant and sadly miscarried in July . I went straight to depo shot after my miscarriage because I didn't want to get pregnant .. it really messed up my cycles because I had stopped and tried to conceive and never ended up pregnant anymore .. I feel like I'm not ovulating.. like I get my periods but they are much more lighter now but I just know I'm not ovulating .. otherwise I would've conceived . Idk what to do I lost hope.

No, the pill reducing the chance of getting pregnant but it doesn't stop ovulation. If you take the pill for three months you can't get pregnant and it will regulate your cycle. The medication in the pill helps with that. You sound very young to not know these things. Most women know about different forms of birth control. The depo shot stops ovulation that is why you don't have a cycle.  Your age can also affect your regularity if you are younger like a teenager than your cycle is sporadic based on yor lifestyle.

I'm not a teen I'm 21 lol I was told the pill prevents ovulation so you don't get pregnant .. that's why I was very confused . Trust me I know about different about other forms of birth control I just feel like depo had really messed me up .. because I'm having irregular cycles and I been trying and nothing has happened .. that's why I'm assuming I'm not ovulating.

Exactly you need to figure out your cycle that is why your not getting pregnant. I took prenatal vitamins to help me get my cycle regular. Talk to your doctor some women take the pill for a few months to get regular. Than you can time it right to get pregnant

That means nothing. Your body works like a machine if your not ovulating you wouldn't be having a cycle. You need to figure out your cycle before you can get pregnant. I was married over a year before I conceived my daughter. We never used protection and still don't but she is my only child. . You need to figure out when your ovulating by figuring out your cycle.

I was on depo for years it took me over 2 years off depo to get pregnant. First you need to regulate your cycle. Find out what is going on with your body. Then worry about getting pregnant. I would also recommend marriage first but that is just me and I am not trying to put my beliefs on you but hey it's out there now.

Hey! Don't worry. This happened to me too. I recently started using Naturone, it's helped regulate my cycle. Month two and regular. It's an all natural product... I am being as positive as can be... I believe I will fall pregnant in the next year!

You used depo or your not ovulating? I mean like I get my periods every other month but I feel like I'm just not ovulating like I should .. like I've had a lot of unprotected sex with my bf for over a year and still nothing. I really lost hope tho .
