Question:  My husband and I have an active sex life, and my periods are regular. However, we have still not conceived.

Answer: You need to remember that it's not possible to determine the reason for your infertility until you undergo tests to find out if your husband's sperm count is normal; if your Fallopian tubes and uterus are normal; and if you are producing eggs. Only after undergoing these tests will your doctor is able to tell you why you are not conceiving.

Question:   My gynecologist has done an internal examination and said I am normal. Do I still need to get tests done to determine why I am not conceiving?

Question:   Do painful periods cause infer­tility!
