AnswerHello Charlie from Australia,
You don't have a question but I presume you want to know what to do next. If you have been trying for pregnancy for at least 12 months, then it is time to see a fertility doctor and have an evaluation done. This will then help to, not only determine what may be preventing pregnancy, but also what treatment is appropriate. Keep in mind that it takes the average woman under 30 years old, 8-12 months to achieve pregnancy. It's not as simple as people make it out to be.
Good Luck,
