Hi there, I'm sorry. I feel your pain as well. Im married and ttc for 2 and a half years. Its very stressful. But I think you may need to see a dr. Let them know you've been trying with no luck. I'm sure they will do tests, possibly prescribe medications. Good Luck. Your not alone, so hang in there! :-)

Hi guys. My dh and I have been ttc for over 10 years so i completely understand what you are going through. We saw a specialist 1 yr after ttc and they told us his count wa slow and i failed to ovulate and the only chance would be ivf. well i couldn't afford ivf so never went back and just decided to wait it out and give it time. Since then i have tried several oral medications and losing weight. Nothing seemed to help. I finally decided to see a specialist again since i am 37 and he is 48. my new specialist said my dh was normal (no problems there) and i have pcos. he has gotten many women pg with pcos and it the top dr at the hospital in the infertility wing. we are starting iui process on thursday with my 1st sonogram on cd 3 and will get my shot to start ovulation and medication to take home to have shots twice a day and then build up to the iui and do alot of praying and crossing our fingers. hopefully we are successful on the 1st attempt as the funds are not there to keep doing it over and over. i feel hopeful though. they just told me the medicine was going to be more than what i alloted for and i said i was going to have a wait a couple of months to save more money and was bummed out, then they said they had donated medication they could give me which would reduce the cost by about $200 and now i have enough money to pay for it all. So, I agree to go see a specialist. they usually want you to ttc for at least a year before seeking a specialist. maybe they can give you meds to help you along. good luck!!

Before you run off to the dr get the book Taking Charge Of Your Fertility. Read it adn chart at least three cycles. The reason I say that is take the charts from those three cycles with you when you do go see the dr. This way your dr will have an idea of what your cycles are doing and will be able to narrow down what tests to do first.
