Answers:
Since it has been one year of trying to conceive (TTC) I recommend that you see a RE who is dr. that specializes in reproductive endocrinology, basically fancy name for a fertility specialist. You could just see your ob/gyn but IMO (having been through it with both) the ob/gyn route will waste your time. Call the RE and ask if they accept your insurance, if not switch to one they do or try another RE.
To begin with there are some basic tests you can get:
1. SA=semen analysis (the RE will do a more thorough SA then the ob/gyn)
2. HSG=this is to check your fallopian tubes.
3. Hormone levels= your dr. will have you get bloodwork to check various hormones at different times in your cycle.
4. post coital check=this is where you get your cervical mucous checked right after having sex. they look at your mucous under a microscope to see if and how many sperm are alive.
5. check for exactly when you ovulate and if your eggs/follicles are mature: this helps in the timing aspect and also to see IF you ovulate, if egg released, how many eggs you have, and if they are mature. all done by ultrasound.
6. endometrial biopsy=this is a procedure where a sample of your endometrium is taken and tested post ovulation (around cycle day 22) to see if your uterine lining is right for that cycle day (if not right you may need to take progesterone).
Good luck!

try a neighor, or the mailman..... just kidding. Quit making it a chore and more of an experience, live it up pretty soon you'll hear little feet.
Poor man, i could stick up for him go to his family doctor and have his sperm counted and if it is ok then check yourself and if they are both ok then wait until you are ovulating or maybe its not the right time! GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS
I could not get pregnant until we spent a non-stressful weekend at a hotel. Does not have to be expensive just don't tell anyone your location and enjoy yourselves. Breakfast brought to you both, lunch with a nice walk and best of all dinner with no clean-up. GOOD LUCK!!
It is possible the transplant could affect fertility. Our reproductive systems are so sensitive. Its amazing any babies get born. If its been one year, the next step if for you and your husband to get a physical and consult with a reproductive endocrinologist. This doctor will run a bunch of blood tests, semen analysis, HSG, maybe a post-coital test.First thing is to get fertility tests to see if either of you have any problems in that area.
Make sure you two have sex on days 12 through to day 16 of your cycle (you're most likely to get pregnant then)
Day 1 is the first day of your period.
Stop drinking alcohol and smoking
Take a folic acid supplement as this helps to make sure you're baby has strong bones and is healthy, doctors recommend taking this when you start trying for a baby.
You are pretty young. At your age they usually say that you should consult your obstetrician if you aren't pregnant after 6 months. I don't know what kind of medication your husband takes for his transplants but if does take some maybe they are affecting his ability to impregnate you. You should really see an obstetrician. dont stress yrself so much it will happen just have fun when ur making love dont focus it as a chore. u take away all the fun in making love that way. ur still young n it will happen believe me im 31 n it happen just 3 weeks ago but i had a miscarriage. so dont worry much baby n have fun ok!
I am not sure about the transplants but after one year the recommendation is that you see your doctor regarding infertility.
hopefully you'll get pregnant soon,we tried to get pregnant for 2 years,but it was not successful,i was pregnant at that month that we decided to do IVF.Kidney problems often affect the Vas Deferens which are an integral part of male reproduction. I would have your husband have a semen analysis and check up done with a urologist that specializes in fertility.
If you are near the NY metro area, I know of a good one!

just keep practicing, the more practice you get the more likely you'll be pregnant. the age gap has nothing to do with it.my husband is 14 years older than me, he just turned 50( he takes meds for epileptic siezures) and we had a baby this past january. our 1st one. good luck trying. Girl, I know what you are going threw. I was the same way two years ago. My best friend told me to have sex nine days after your last period. Say you start on the first on the month.On the 9th to the 12th you have sex. It has to do something about your eggs. Well sure enough the following month I did not have a period. I am happy to say I have a little girl.GOOD LUCK Try it you never know.

She found out from her sister who has twin boys.
You might be tryin a little too hard
I would elliminate all the "natural" way to conceive before going invitro. There's a book,"Taking charge of your fertility" that my friend used. They tried for a baby with the meathod from the book twice and twice they got pregnant. My other friend also mentioned this same book to me. They say it is quite clockwork. The book will help you with your fertility cycle and timing but the only way to know if your husband's organ transplants may be the cause of his infertility (if he is infertile) will have to be from your doctor. Good luck!wow you guys have been through alot all i can think of is that the stress is really getting to you guys, you two need to reward yourselfs make it a celebration of the love you have for one another and take a stress free holiday make sure you have fun trying wink wink and trust it will definatly help you. my doctor told us that i would never be able to carry a child so me being hard headed wanted to prove the doctor wrong so my husband and i started trying like crazy for a long while until i faced the truth and gave up. we started to plan a holiday to italy when all of a sudden we got a better surprise yep a little baby girl all cos we stopped trying!! so goodluck and for the future CONGRATS
