Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In case of regular 28 days menstrual cycles, ovulation is expected at around 13th to 15th day. So, you have to plan unprotected intercourse around this period. If you do not conceive with this, better to consult your gynecologist once get examined and go for investigations like ultrasound, hysterosalpingography for you and semen analysis to your husband. If everything is normal, you can take tablets for ovulation induction with your doctor's advice and follow ovulation with follicular study. If needed according to your doctor, you can go for beta HCG injection when ovarian follicle reaches around 2 cm. And plan unprotected intercourse after 24 to 36 hours after injection. With this workup the possibility of pregnancy pregnancy will increase.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It appears to be too early to state that you are having problems related to infertility. You can try to conceive naturally for another 6 months. In the meantime, I would suggest you to take up ovulation study, so that you can plan your intercourse during the fertile period, thus increasing the chances of conceiving. If that doesn't happen, then you need to work up with the following:
1. Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to know for Fallopian tubes patency.
2. Semen analysis of your partner to know about the status of sperms and it's activity.
Consult Obstetrician for evaluation and management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S.
