I know that for me, its far too early in this process to assume something's wrong, but....when everything is timed right and it just doesn't happen, my mind wanders. The only thing I can say is that with each cycle that begins, we look into things more. Cycle 1 we just went for it, no testing. Cycle 2 we did the day 3 b/w, my sono (where we saw the cysts) and DH's s/a. This cycle I'm repeating the b/w (prolactin was slightly high) and doing the HSG. Some might say we're doing all this testing unnecessarily or too early, but it really gives me piece of mind, and my doc is totally supportive.
I know we haven't been trying long (only 2 or 3 cycles) but it's so hard for me to not get down in the dumps about it. Last cycle I thought we really did everything right-on. I know that sometimes it just takes awhile, but....it's hard not to get discouraged.

Cycle 1 - BFN. Diagnosed with PCOS.
Day 3 Blood Work - Appears to be normal, with slightly high prolactin. Must re-do next cycle.
Cycle 2 - DH's s/a came back normal. BFN - AF arrived early.

I just have to take it day-by-day.
I know where you are coming from as DH and I have been trying for 14 months now. I do have my ups and downs depending on the day. I think that it is great that you have a doctor willing to do the test early on. I am trying to get my doctor going with all the test. I know that I have had cysts on the right side and want to keep an eye on that. Its very common to not get pregnant right away. I have been doing a lot of reading and the majority says that 6 months is the average. So I think that you are getting to the mark where you should see a BFP soon. You just need to look forward to that time.
