Hello,
First of all, do not panic. I will suggest you get basic investigations done.
1. Your partner's semen analysis, it will help to know about the quality and quantity of sperm in the semen.
2. Please get your ultrasound done, to know about structural normalcy of uterus and ovaries.
3. Please get your HSG done-Hysterosalpingography, to know about the patency of the fallopian tubes.
If all these tests are normal, then the chances of getting pregnant are almost 90%.
As you might be aware that in a woman with a regular cycle, day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of the cycle. If you try to have unprotected sex activity in this period, then you stand a good chance to get pregnant.
Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in daily diet. Drink plenty of water in the day. Avoid refined sugars and deep-fried foods and bakery products in the diet. Please take iron, calcium, protein and vitamin B 12 and folic acid supplementation on a regular basis. It helps to prevent various complications during conception, pregnancy, and childbirth.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Infertility has so many causes. The problem may be in either of you or in both. When it comes to a male person, hormonal imbalance may lead to insufficient sperms or immotile sperms.
For female issues can be many. Hormonal imbalance including thyroid FISH, LH, uterus (womb) and ovaries and tubes morphology, any abnormal menstruation.
