Just some fyi, the first time my hubby was tested he was 28, and he needed some help.  There's nothing wrong with getting tested sooner rather than later-  The entire proccess (mostly yours) does takes quite a bit of time though.  For one, specialists are always hard to get appointments with, and two, because of the womens' cycles.  Start testing (both of you) sooner rather than later would be the best thing I could tell you.  Last year, my resolution was to be pregnant by the end of the year, and we have been trying all year, and now it's my last cycle of the year... so here's hoping!!

I think so too. New year resolution to stop being lazy and do all it takes. I am just too lazy and maybe being foolish to expect miracles.

Thanks for the wishes. i appreciate it very much.

I think my husband is reluctant to get tested (he is in his early 30's). I think as women we go to the gynac and get all types of tests all the time.

I just dont want to give up and dont want to take the adoption route till i have exhausted all the possibilities.

definitely time to see a reproductive endocrinologist, as unfortunately time becomes a factor when we become older than 35.

My hubby and I have been actively trying for a few years now and I've been taking prenatal pills off and on (mostly on) the whole time.  Folic acid is good, but there are lacking the rest of vitamins that you will (hopefully) need soon.  They say that after 6 months of trying, you should get some help.  Both you and your partner should be tested.  His part is pretty easy and it could be a very simple problem that fertility drugs could help with. We were both put on clomid and we both responded great to it, but still ttc.  See you obgyn, there are a few small things that she can test for you, and for your partner and ask if she can recommend/refer you guys to a specialist. Good luck!!

Folic acid tablets is good for those couple who are ttc. I think you should meet dr and do fertility tests which will recommend by your dr and you can also use ovulation predictor kit it will help you a lot.
