yeah..i agree with everyone above. I would suggest that along with OPK also start charting your Basal body temperature(BBT) . There is lot of information on internet on how to do it correctly. U just need a digital thermometer and take your temperature first thing in the morning when u get up, same time each day, without getting up from bed or sipping water ..anything..!
U can use websites like www.fertilityfriend.com to record ur temps.

By this u 'll come to know that u are ovulating or not as there is a clear temp rise once u have ovulated in ur chart. Also use OPK, as they will pinpoint ovulation 12-36 hrs before ovulation is supposed to happen.

When you go to doctor, this additional info of BBT and OPK will get things move a little faster!

All the best to u...and lots of baby dust!!:)

have you tried ovulation prediction tests?  You can use them all month to help you know when you are ovulating so you know that when you get a surge on the test it's time to Baby Dance.......you can get them online cheap or at the Dollar Tree for a buck a piece....

Did you guys get tested - I believe it is about time to see the doctor. If you have been trying for 12 months and no success - you should see the specialist. Good luck to you both, and maybe it is nothing to worry about it.
