It depends on what you have been doing yourself. Have you been tracking your ovulation cycles, are your periods regular, are you and your significant other healthy. I suggest reading a book call "The Garden of Fertility." It has some great information of ovulation, when to have sex, diet ideas, and things like that.

If you are unable to concieve after a year of trying, there is likely a fertility problem. It might take a longer time if you have been taking contraceptives. There are home tests that you can buy (for about 25.00 at Target) that will tell you if your partner has a low sperm count. Unfortunately, it dosen't detect if there any problems with the formation or motility of the sperm. I don't know if there are any tests for a woman without having to go to a dr. If you want to know for sure where the problem lies see a dr.
Good luck

My husband and I tried for almost a year and a half before I was going to go in for medical help. Then we decided to give up on trying and I started to relax and decided that if it happened it happened. Wouldn't you know it after doing that for about 3 months I went in for a check up and found out that I was 4 weeks pregnant.
So my advice to you would be..... just relax and enjoy being with your partner. Let nature take it's course. If you have already done that and it's bothering you that you can't get pregnant then I would say to talk with your GYN/OB about it.
Just to let you know I never did go in for the medical help.
Good luck to you.

If you are 35 or older, it should only be 6 months.

About a year unless you have other issues like cervical scarring.

A year. Especially if you were on the pill previously.
