Will the Depo Provera shot cause infertility later in life?

I’m 18 and had my first shot today. My doctor suggested we try this because I have a hard time remembering a pill everyday. I was reading some things about it today and some women were saying they couldn’t get pregnant after stopping the shot. I don’t think my doctor would have suggested this to me if it has been known to cause infertility, but i’m really worried. I obviously don’t want kids now, but I definitely do in a few years.

Can I use my flexible spending account through work for fertility / Infertility treatments for my wife?

I was wondering if the FSA (flexible spending account) can be used at at cryogen laboratory (sperm bank) and for IUI treatments? The IUI is done at a Dr.’s office so I would think that it could, but I was really wondering about the Cryo-bank. (since my insurance does not cover fertility / infertility).

Varicose Veins as related to infertility?

I have several questions in one. I’m really panicing about this, so a link would be greatly appreciated.

First, I’ve heard that varicose veins on a testicle can cause infertility. Is this true?

Also, is it safe to have surgery to have removed? If it can be removed, does that increase your ability to have a child back up to normal? Are there any negative side effects to just leaving it there if I were to decide I did not want children? If I did have surgery to have it fixed, how long would I be out of action for? Would it leave a permanent scar or decrease my sex drive?

Is infertility from a Varicocele permanent, even after surgery?

Hi, I’m 18 and have had a varicocele for around a year. I’m not sure if I’m infertile from it, but if I am, is that permanent? I could get a surgery to remove the varicocele, but I want to know if that would fix any infertility problems.

Any help?
