I have a little different perspective that I wanted to share.
My concern is that you lost 100 pounds without even knowing (and, I assume, without trying?). Have you had this evaluated by a doctor?
Why are you asking about infertility if you have not begun trying to conceive; I'm wondering if you are worried about any health conditions? Most women we talk to assume they are so fertile that they will "get pregnant" the minute they stop using birth control, so I'm wondering why you have a different take on this?
I'm sorry to hear about your sister's passing away, and hope that you and your family are able to depend on each other for support.
Are you currently seeing an OB/GYN on a regular (annual) basis? I think it is crucial for you to make an appointment for a check-up to talk with your doctor about wanting to conceive, while talking about your family history of conditions, and learning why you had a rapid and significant weight loss---this can most certainly have an impact on your cycle. It will also help ensure that when you do become pregnant, that you will have all the knowledge and preparation (prenatal vitamins, for instance) for the healthiest body you can have for your growing baby! :-)
