I'm being tested for that right now, so I can offer an idea of how to start out...
Next time you're at a pharmacy, before your next period, buy a metabolic thermometer. Read the instructions, but basically, every morning before you get out of bed, take your temperature. That record, starting around the time of your period, will show a flucuation -- mine has varied by more than a full degree -- that will show when/if you ovulate.
The doctor I saw said there are three tests that they can do. From least to most invasive, they are: Basal temperature, injecting dye into your tubes and imaging it, and laparascopic exploration of the tubes. First one to try, of course, is the least invasive. It will show if you're still ovulating, and the other tests can be done once that's figured out.
Hope that helps. If we both manage it, wanna enroll in the same preschool?
