Hello
Thanks for query .

You are Radiologist by profession married since six months and unable to impregnate your wife .

There are two possible reasons for not conceiving
1) Excessive smoking
2) Frequent exposure to radiation at your work place

You need to use marker to estimate the amount of radiation exposure that you are subjected to every day .

Doing a semen analysis will help to know the details about sperm count .sperm motility and other parameters of semen and reasons for not conceiving so as to take necessary treatment if required .
