It may be just a matter of needing more time. It might happen next month, it might happen 6 months from now. It is very frustrating when it happens so easily before and it isn't the next time you want to be pregnant! When you said you were trying around the time you were said to be fertile... how was that time determined? You may be off just a few days here or there and that can make all the difference. Your doctor will likely not try any testing, for both of you, until you have been trying for a year or so. He may start sooner; you can always ask. But the reason is that it can be perfectly normal for it to take that long.

Things may have physically looked just fine when he checked, but there could be hormonal changes since the last pregnancy or changes in your partner. Odds are things are just fine and it will only be a matter of time, but I know the waiting for it to happen is not easy. Hope you don't have to try too much longer and you will find success soon!
