Iv been calculating my ovulation days as 14 days after the first day of my period and usually this is the day my temp goes up and I should be fertile we have not gotten pregnant yet? Im 32 and he is 33, both healthy, what is the next step to finding out why its not happening do we have to do a sperm count or how do I find out if we can get pregnant?

Yes, you have to wait a little! It's not that common to get pregnant the first time you try! Specially when you are 32. I'm 33 and my doctor said it was normal to try up to one year. After that the testings begin. They usually start with the guy doing a spermogram (to check number of sperm cells, the viability, the motility and the morphology of his sperm). They usually start with this because guys' exams are less invasive.
After that they will check if your ovulation is OK, etc.

Sperm can live up to 5 days so don't just try on that one day try that whole week. You can also buy those otc tests to tell you when your best time is. Sometimes 14 days is not the same for us all. Good luck!!

Make an appointment with your doctor to go talk to him or her about it. Most doctors like the first step to be a sperm count because that is the easiest and cheapest test to do. My doctor told me that sperm count is the easiest to fix. Good luck.

It is correct if your cycle is 28 days. Buy a BBT to find out what is the length of your leutal phase is so that you can detect your ovulation.
There are several websites that can give you detailed explanation of how it works:
www.fertilityfriend.com
www.webmd.com
or buy "taking charge of your fertility" by Tony Welsch and it would help u a lot.

why not read about the getting preggy tips all over the net?
your age is no problem at getting pregnant at all, sometimes it takes the "no care" attittude and not minding it when making love that gives results, too much stress about getting pregnant usually keeps those eggs and sperms shy.

if you have been tryin for more then a year , go to a dr. he would run some tests to find out why you are not getting pregnant, they'll do a sperm test and also they'll check your ovaries

You need to try for 12 months before a doctor will see you.
