Q: Birth control and infertility

I was on birth control for about 2 1/2 years and I stopped about 7 months ago. Is birth control the reason I can't get pregnant now?

You've been trying for 7 months? It takes the average couple a year to conceive, assuming they've got their timing right. Are you tracking your ovulation? Are you having sex during your fertile window? Most doctors won't entertain ideas about infertility until you've been trying for at least a year.
