Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
After a year of trying to conceive , infertility is diagnosed.
It is not normal, as your doctor stated, to have only 1 period in 2 years even after a long period of birth control.
Infertility may be related to the female only, male only or male and female.
With your irregular cycle, it may be either female only or male and female.
Your husband should have a semen analysis done to check for any issues.
In females infertility may be related to the: cervix, tubes, uterus or ovaries.
With your irregular cycles, the ovaries are likely involved because they are involved in hormone release.
One of the most common causes for irregular periods and infertility is polycystic ovarian syndrome.
An ultrasound to take a look at the ovaries and other areas, hormonal blood tests would be able to determine whether this condition is present or if the infertility is related to another cause.
There is treatment available that would depend on the exact cause. There are medications and procedures, if needed, that can help you conceive.
Summary: (1) both you and husband would need assessment
(2)in female can be related to any part of the reproductive area- uterus, cervix, tubes, ovaries
(3)polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common cause of delayed periods and infertility
(4)would need and ultrasound and blood tests to find the exact cause
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

the doctor I went to said that its just female related because I'm not ovulating with out a period do you know of any medicine that I can take to help me conceive
Brief Answer:
different treatment options
Detailed Answer:
HI
If you are not ovulating then it is possible that it is related to PCOS ( polycystic ovarian syndrome).
This is treated by: (1) weight loss if there is any excess weight- this has been shown to be very effective in helping with conception
(2)metformin- this is a diabetic mediation . It is also used in PCOS because it helps to reduce the insulin resistance that can occur with this condition.
It can help improve fertility
(3) clomid- this can be prescribed from your doctor if the above does not help.
It induces ovulation
Please feel free to ask anything else

do you know if the fertility blend pill works for pcos
Brief Answer:
pcos needs to be diagnosed with tests, one cause of infertility
Detailed Answer:
HI
Pcos is the possible cause of your problem ovulating but it can only be confirmed by blood tests and imaging to take a look at the ovaries.
In terms of fertility blend, this is a multivitamin with folic acid, b vitamins, selenium, arginine along with other ingredients.
It is not known specifically to help with PCOS but any multivitamin may help improve overall health and possibly help with fertility
If anything else unclear , feel free to ask
