Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Post Partum: Depression. Although it may not effect ability to conceive - I would consult with your psychiatrist & gynecologist/ obstetrician for recommendations (i.e. how many times have you experienced it? Severity? psychosis?current state of mental health? etc).
