Get formal analysis: If u have actively been trying to get pregnant with your husband >1 year, that medically defines infertility, and you should both be formally evaluated - More information about both of u (ie. have u ever been pregnant? Has he ever gotten a woman pregnant?; Are ur periods regular?, ), will direct some of the initial tests. Ur husband should have a formal semen analysis, not rely on a home test.
