Hi there,I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
First of all do not panic.
I will suggest you get following 3 things checked -
1. Semen analysis of your partner to know about the quality and quantity of the sperms.
2. Post menstrual HSG - Hysterosalpingography, to know about the patency of the fallopian tubes.
3. USG to know about any structural cause in the uterus that might lead to infertility.
If all these tests are normal then you need not worry about getting pregnant.
Secondly, you need to know about ovulation.
As you might be aware that in a woman with regular cycle day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of the cycle.
if you have unprotected sex activity in this period at least on alternate days , it will help to get pregnant.
If needed you can seek prescription support from your treating doctor for ovulation induction medicines followed by follicle study from day 10 of the cycle. Whenever ovulation occurs you can opt for IUI- Intrauterine insemination on the day of ovulation or opt for unprotected sex activity on and around the day of ovulation.
This all will help you to get pregnant.
Also, please start on Folic acid and vitamin B 12 supplements. This helps to prevent various complications during pregnancy and delivery.
May God bless you with a bundle of Joy.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks
