What should I do if I haven't gotten pregnant after six months?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: Married for a year, used contraception for the first six months, then stopped after the second half. However, six months have passed, and I still haven't gotten pregnant. (No history of miscarriage.)
Current general condition: Menstrual blood color, amount, and duration are all normal, with a cycle of 33 days.
Previously, I seemed to have trouble accurately calculating ovulation. In October, I bought ovulation test strips and got a positive result. I had intercourse several times during those days, but today my period arrived again, and I failed once more. I don’t know what the reason is.
I rarely use anything under my buttocks, and after my husband finishes, I immediately go to the bathroom. When I sit on the toilet, there is a flow.

Doctor's answer:

There are many causes of infertility, and factors from both men and women can lead to infertility. For example, in men, causes may include insufficient sperm count, poor motility, or prolonged semen liquefaction time. In women, causes can include vaginal inflammation, cervical inflammation, endocrine disorders, abnormal ovulation function, tumors, endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, or autoimmune issues. It is best for you and your partner to undergo simultaneous examinations. The doctor will provide targeted tests and treatments based on your specific conditions.
For your situation, it is recommended to visit a hospital for examination. You can have an ultrasound to check the condition of the uterus, undergo a six-panel sex hormone test, and check if the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. If everything is normal, pregnancy is possible.
