My husband and I have been trying for nine months now, so I know your pain.

Three months ago I found out I had hypothyroidism induced infertility, which has since been reversed (or so we believe), but if your cycles have been normal, with no abnormal menstrual symptoms, then I imagine you've just been getting unlucky.

If you take into account the fact that even with perfect timing we only have a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month, going five months without getting pregnant is still within the statistical average. Six isn't that much longer. My advice is to stick it out and try not to worry about it much.

My husband and I are now using the Clear Blue digital OPK's in conjunction with some analog ones from the BX brand, and so far we're finally getting some decently regular results. I'd suggest trying the same tactic and beginning testing on the same CD each month.

If you're really worried about it, you can get your hubby's sperm count. If he has a low sperm count, you might have to space out DTD days a bit more and just try to line them up better with ovulation days.

Best of luck to you! We think we've just had our second month in a row where I ovulated correctly, so here's to hoping for fairy dust for both of us this month!
