If you have been ttc for 2 years without success then there may well be a problem (with either one or both of you) preventing conception at this time. At this stage you are well past the stage of either charting or opk's.

Are you currently under the care of a gynaecologist or subfertility unit?. You need to be seen by such people (the subfertility unit) as a matter of course now so a diagnosis of the problem can be made. Your GP can and should refer you now.

my doctor worked it out with a calender and it is about right, with the fluid stuff.
i have been to doctor and was being refered but still not heard anything and that was end of august.
i had a blood test which came back normal and my dh had a semen test which was also normal.
and still no sign of af.
we usually bd every 2 days as doctor said doing it everyday was not giving sperm levels time to recover but over xmas dh was working loads so we didnt really any time together

liandme,

It can take around six months for an appointment with the subfertility unit to come through.

With regards to blood tests sometimes each hormone level tested can appear to be within the "normal" ranges but there is actually a hormonal imbalance. The hormone levels (particularly those of LH and FSH) must be compared against one another; if this is not done then the blood test result is meaningless.

I hope you get the appointment soon.

HTH
