Are you using ovulation predictor kits? Is your husband wearing breifs. Believe it or not sometimes the simpleist thing is the culprit. If you are having sex on the wrong dates, you aren't going to get pregnant. Most people don't know when they ovulate unless they are their own fertility expert, i.e. tracking temperatures, cervical mucous, cervical softness and position and cervical opennes. Not to mention the boxer/brief debate. Briefs, boxer-briefs, tighty whiteys etc. lower a mans sperm count because the testicals are held closer to the body and the heat kills the sperm. The whole reason that men have their testicals outside the body is because the sperm have to be kept at a lower temperature.
Before you go to the gynecologist, buy an opk and this stuff called pre-seed. It is a sperm friendly lubricant that works by mimicing an ideal swimming environment. My husband and I tried for MONTHS and to no avail. And I am a fertiilty expert-I do all the tracking as I mentioned above and we had sex before ovulation. Then I broke down and bought an OPK and the Pre-seed which you can buy online. I bought a six pack thinking that I should have a big supply just in case...well I used one vial and got pregnant. It turns out that my problem was in my cervical fluid-it was hostile not ideal. The older we get (I'm 32) the more acidic and hostile our cervical fluid becomes. Try my suggestion before resorting to medication.

Depends on how old you are. Your fertility begins to decline at 30, so if you're 28 and over, I would go ahead an make the appointment. (And get insistent if they try to blow you off.) But if you're in your mid-twenties and have a history of regular periods (around 26-32 days), I would give it a couple more months. On average, it takes a (fertile) couple 9 months to conceive. Also, I would google 'basal body temperature' to learn about pinpointing ovulation -- takes a thermometer and about 2 minutes a day and can help you figure out the best time to have sex. And if your temp doesn't rise, you have extra insight as to whether or not you're ovulating.
Lastly, sex everyday lowers sperm count -- the fertility docs suggest every other day-- so I wouldn't try the 'have sex everyday for three months' idea unless you're enjoying it. (And don't worry if it begins to feel like work. Planned sex with a goal in mind is often less fun than inspired spontaneous sex. It'll be fun again soon . . .)

Most doctors make you wait a year until sending you to a fertility specialist. It too my husband and I 1 1/2 years to conceive. (he's 30 I'm 24)
The average couple with no problems takes about 8 months of well timed sex. Be sure to chart your cycle to try and make sure you're hitting the 2 or 3 days that are good.

Well, if you just got off birth control 6 months ago it might take up to a yr of getting pregnant, that's what the birth control information says. I waited a yr and I got pregnant, then it was 10 months till I got pregnant with my second baby. I would still go to the doctor, because you could have a problem and the sooner the better

OMG, Clomid is NOT the answer for everything.
You are certainly welcome to see an OB/GYN about your concerns now. It's actually recommended that when you begin to try for a child, that you see a doctor to consult and make sure things look okay for you to proceed. At least seeing a doc would give you this opportunity. Generally, however, a doctor will not do specific tests for or begin any sort of infertility treatments until a healthy couple has tried for 12 months or more with no success.

You are not considered an infertile couple until you have been trying a year. Just went to the doctor and she told me this.
Even at a year it may not be anything to worry about...just takes time I think. Its a complete miracle if you think about it : all the timing and what not.
Anyway, if its driving you mad (which I think I would be too) go to your doctor and see what they tell you. At the veary least they can give you a check-up so you know things are in order. They don't suggst any fertility help until a year or more. And honestly??? KEEP AT IT. WIthout sounding crass...do it ALL THE TIME, every day even.
The best to you...

Hello Sara -- I can tell you how to get pregnant. Both you and your husband need to go out and get the ovulation kit called,
FIRST RESPONSE. What this kit does it tests you urine the
every first thing in the morning. When it turns BLUE, then you
can coneive and have a baby. I was the very same age as you were. We were having a hard time and my time clock was
ticking away. So I went out and bought the kit. It really works as
I have 3 healthy boys to prove it. Good Luck.

I'm not making light of this ... BUT, I would say work at it every night for the next three months ... if you are still having problems have HIM get a sperm count done (a much easier test then what you would have to go through) and if everything is fine there THEN go to the GYNO and see what your options are.
Good Luck!
