It's important to have ideal body weight and regular exercise. If you have facial hair fat acne hair loss then you should do these tests FSH LH Prolactin and control thyroid. Also do semen exam. An ultrasound for ovulation study from day 11 of cycle till ovulation is required. Have regular intercourse at least once in 2-3days.it might take one yr to conceive. Best wishes

Best time to conceive is day 12 to 20 of cycle. One contact in 48 to 72 hrs is good.typically ovulation day is cycle length minus 14.so if u have 32 days cycle your ovulation is on day 18counting from day1 of menses
