Hallow Dear,
You seem to be in dilemma. You have missed period or have light period and hence are not sure whether you are pregnant or not. Secondly, you want to be pregnant. Let us discuss your issues one by one.
If you have not got periods after April episode, by now ultrasonography will definitely detect the pregnancy if it is there. Now it is 4 months since you got your last period. So even you can feel the growing uterus manually over the abdomen below the naval. Please try to get the possibility of pregnancy detected scientifically, by urine pregnancy test and/or ultrasonography. As I mentioned earlier, physical examination by Obstetrician also will be sufficient to diagnose the pregnancy.
If you are not pregnant, and want to be pregnant, you have to follow certain ordeal.
First get your partner's semen examined to assess his sperm count and normalcy of the sperms.
Also try to locate the day of your egg release (ovulation). Serial ultrasonography from 9th day of cycle is the best way for this. When the ovulation takes place, utilise that day for your marital relations. Give it a fair trial. If you do not see ovulation, you will have to report to Gynaecologist for its management.
In spite of ovulation and fair trial, if you fail to become pregnant, get proper assessment of the patency of your tubes done by laparoscopy or hysterosalpingography.
This is a broad outline for you. Hope you will take Gynaecologist opinion for the details.
