Hi Maggie
From your notes it is clear that you have been trying for baby only since 4 months. Please note that among young couples trying for conception about 80% conceive in the first year and another 10% in the second year.
Do you have regular periods. If so then in all probability you are ovulating regularly and there is no need to go for check up.
I suggest you wait atleast for a year before you consult doctor.
Take a tablet of folic acid daily.
To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking if you are a smoker and have intercourse atleast three times in a week.
If it is still worrying you consult with your GP and get your Day 21 serum progesterone and your husbands semen analysis done.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
