The definition of infertility recognized by both doctors and insurance companies:
Couples who are under the age of 35 who have tried unsuccessfully for over 1 year, if over 35 tried unsuccessfully for 6 months, unless otherwise diagnosed with an issue.
For those of you who are not at the year mark (I will use the 1 year, if you are over 35 self edit to say 6 months) there are some things that can help you be sure that you are ovulating and that you are timing sex correctly.
Not all bodies are created equal, many websites suggest that ovulation occurs 14 days before your period. This is inaccurate for a lot of woman, not everyone does have a 14 day luteal phase (the time after ovulation until your period). Because of that fact you should use other methods to determine when you are ovulating. A couple of methods are ovulation predictor kits (OPK) where you pee on a stick and if the line is as dark or darker then the control line you will ovulate within 12-48 hours after your first positive. Another method is charting, where you take your basil body temperature each morning and your temperature will show an increase after ovulation.
Charting is somewhat involved and there are websites as well as books that can help. www.fertilityfriend.com is a great site that will walk you through the ins and outs of charting. Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a must read for anyone trying to conceive, and they have their own charting website and software as well.
If it shows that after a few months of charting you are not ovulating, now would be the time to talk to your doctor. If you are ovulating, it can take the average couple 6 months to a year to conceive. Keep trying! Yes, no one wants it to take 7 months, especially when you see a lot of people that it works right away for, but it does not mean at this time that there is a problem, your BFP could be right around the corner.
