Your lack of pregnancy may have nothing to do with ovulation -- your partner's sperm count may be low, your tubes may be blocked, etc. You should see your gyn or a RE(reproductie endocrinologist --infertilltiy doc). Not all cases of infertiltiy require medication. Also, you might want to read a "The Language of Fertility" by Niravi Payne.
