Diana, you should ask to have your husband's sperm tested and to have
your fallopian tubes tested to make sure they are clear. It's great
that you ovulate consistently. However it may be worth reading the book

low-tech things you can try at home and make absolutely sure that you
are timing intercourse properly. Good luck!!!!
