My boyfriend an I got together back in 08' of February and I told him I was on Depo Shot for 6 years when I was 14. He told me he wanted a family and I did to and every since I got off the Depo we have been trying.

What can I do next?

Here's a thought.
You said you 'got back together', implying that there were probably problems in the past which resulted in a split. Perhaps they've been resolved, perhaps not.
If you both want families, make it a family BEFORE you start bringing babies into it. That means commitment, marriage, a plan, etc. You and some old boyfriend getting 'back together' both wanting children should not be the sole impetus for trying to create a life.
Not wanting to be judgemental so don't everyone jump down my throat about it - I've just seen too many sad situations for both mother and child (and sometimes fathers too) wherein there wasn't a whole lot of thought taken as to where all that sex and 'trying' was going to lead in the long run, especially when there was no true commitment there to begin with.....
