Fertility: After 8 years of trying to get pregnant as described, unprotected sex mid-cycle with ovulation timing methods, it would be recommended for both of you to make an appointment together with he fertility specialist. Best wishes.

Time for workup...: Most couples (85%) will conceive within the first 12 months of unprotected intercourse. To have gone 8 years and never gotten pregnant might indicate a problem. The most likely explanation, in the setting of normal cycles, is a problem with blocked fallopian tubes or an abnormal semen count / analysis.
