trying to get preg

last year the baby i was 33wks preg with was stillborn, i called him marcus after that i fell into deep depression understanably i think, then was diagnosed with bpd, and put on quetiapine and sertraline, i have been trying to get preg since sept 2010 but nothing has happened, when i got preg with marcus it only took 2 months and i wasn't on any drugs of any kind, now i'm wondering if the drugs i am on now are affecting my fertility?

I'm sorry for your loss.
I know that drugs affect libido, etc but not sure about fertility.  Have you discussed this with your doctor?  There could be a risk of birth defects while on these meds too, that would be important to discuss.
I think the problem could be due to excess stress.  Not sure though.  Your body may just need the time to heal.  Did the doctors determine what happened to Marcus?

I would talk to your doctor.  After that I would talk to a fertility specialist.

You could try posting your question on the mood disorders expert forum.  I doctor answers the questions there.

Did you mean borderline or bipolar?
The depression or bipolar community forums may be other places to post for advice.

A doctor also answers on the undiagnosed symptoms community forum.  She usually gives a range of possibilities.

I'm sorry I couldn't help.  there are pregnancy forums here and possibly even a fertility forum.  You may just need to look around a bit.  Don't overlook the role your own health professionals can play in helping.  The problem could lie with your husband too.  ??
