IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment; IUI, ICSI and Laparoscopic surgery is very cheap in India. The cost is very low and the medical services are very good in India.
My cousin and her husband got their IVF treatment in India through the Forerunners Healthcare in India and is all praise for this company. She is a known case of PCOS.She is a very happy mother of a baby boy now. She just paid 2500 pounds for the full IVF treatment in India for which she was quoted 8000 pounds in private setup in UK.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the newspapers. I have also read about a Chinese couple who planned surrogacy through the Forerunners Healthcare. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery and infertility treatment like IVF, IUI, and ICSI abroad for low price. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery and treatment can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

You can use a fertility monitor see if you're ovulating. There are typically 3 main causes for infertility. They are:
Blocked fallopian tubes
Not ovulating
Low sperm count/low motility
If you aren't ovulating according to the monitor, you'll pretty much know that that's your reason for not getting pregnant. The other two choices need to be assessed by a fertility specialist and tests will need to be done.
BTW, infertility isn't typically "diagnosed" until you've been TTC unsuccessfully for over 12 months straight and have been off birth control for an additional 6 months. If you're still within those parameters, you may just need to try longer.
Good luck!

How long have you been off birth control? Yeah try a fertility monitor, and if you have been unable to conceive after 12 months of trying, go to your family doc if u have insurance. If not, maybe try a pregnancy center? Good luck hon!
