R family planning from March with very few intercourse

Brief Answer:
Do try during the fertile period.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The natural conception rates in humans is very low, about 10% to 12% at the time of ovulation in healthy young couples. This means if 100 couples try at the time of ovulation only 10 get pregnant and others have to try again. So low is fertility among humans. Also, fertility in women is strongly related to her age and women are most fertile in their 20 and fertility starts declining after 30 and more so after their 35 years.
As you have been trying only since recent months and your menstrual cycles seem to be regular I would suggest that you try at least for another 7 to 8 months before starting evaluation for infertility. I say 7 to 8 months based on your age and also the small proportion of patients who conceive naturally after 6 months of frequent unprotected intercourse.
I also suggest you to have intercourse frequently starting after menses and at least on alternate days till few days past 2 weeks of your menses. I say this as this ( than timed intercourse ) is less likely to make you stressful which can geoparadise the results.
Do take tab. Folic acid 5 mg once daily as a preconceptional vitamin and evaluation may be appropriate if you fail to conceive within 8 months.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
