You sound worried: Your question makes me think that you are worried, not just about the difficulty with getting pregnant but about your boyfriend's habit of smoking weed. Perhaps you ought to consider first whether you are really ready to have a baby at this point. If you have serious concerns about the potential partner then maybe putting things off for a while makes sense.

See Below...: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) reduces fertility for 8 months or so after an injection. Marajuana decreases male testosterone and causes decreased sperm count and Motility. It also decreases male libido. Using a home ovulation prediction test will increase your chances by helping you time intercourse. You can buy one in a good drugstore without a prescription. Best wishes!

Relax: First, be sure you are ready for the physical, emotional, and financial responsibilities of raising a child. Talk to friends and family that have children. If you are ready, ask him to give up his habit. Also, just relax and have fun. It can be difficult to get pregnant when you are too eager, as stress can affect your hormones. After 12 months of trying, consult your OB/GYN for testing.
