Hi OP, I would suggest you contact your GP and he can refer you..

I pressume you have been tracking your ovulation dates etc when trying to get pregnant?

Go to your GP and ask for tests to be done. they'll start off with simple blood tests, and take it from there, they will probably refer you to a consultant/gynae, and he/she will start investigative procedures.

Hi i was reading a parenting magazine over the weekend and they reviewed three home fertility tests - the cheapest was boots "Babystart" fertility test, "Fertell test", and one which sounded amazing but expensive called "planahead" which checks if your ovarian reserve is normal for your age.

Also just spotted a piece that was done on the Afternoon Show http://www.rte.ie/tv/theafternoonshow/1130965.html

Best of luck

does your partner have a sit down job, (driving or desk) seemingly these jobs raise the temp ot the testacles which can adversely affect swimmers, but boxers instead of pants help keep the area cool. i've also heard that accupuncture can be benefical, but im not sure how it helps.

have a chat with gp to sort tests etc and to make sure timing is right and your not trying too often.

best of luck hope it all works out

Hi there
I've also been trying for 2 years and went to see a fertility specialist. He took a few tests and I took fertility tablets for 5 days and hey presto, first go I got pregnant.

I would highly recommend going to a fertility specialist.

Good Luck!!
