I'll start from the beginning. I've never had fertility issues. I've gotten pregnant by accident twice in my life and once intentionally the first cycle after stopping birth control pills. I have 2 healthy kids from full term pregnancies from that and had one miscarriage.

Now I'm divorced and with someone new. We're wanting to try for a baby but he doesn't know if he can give me one. He's 38 (I'm 34) and doesn't have any kids. He says there have been plenty of times when he and a past partner had not been avoiding pregnancy but no kids. He says one time she told him she had a miscarriage but he is not sure if she cheated on him.

I'm wondering if it might be worth it to try one of those home make fertility tests just to see if there's any obvious problem. Should we just cut straight to going to a doctor? This is new territory for me.
