Answer -
You are apparently having a 26-28 day cycle and probably ovulate on cycle day #12-14 each month. You should concentrate on having sex on cycle daya
#11,12,13,14,15, or 16 each month. If you have been trying to conceive for more than 12 months, you can consult a gynecologist who will start a workup to see why you have not conceived. Until you have been trying for 12 full months, no workup will be done. Keep trying.

Answer
After trying to conceive for 12 months, you can start a fertility workup. The doctor will see if you are ovulating (basal body temperature chart), see if your husband is making enough sperm (semenanalysis), see if your tubes are blocked ( hysterosalpingogram), see if your endometrium is adequate to allow implantation of a fetus (endometrial biopsy), and check for various infections of the vaginas. The tests are not painful and will help to detertmine your status.
