Yes, it's time to see a specialist. I'm sorry you've had a rough two years. Wouldn't you feel better discussing what your options are? There are many courses of treatment, but it's best to start with some baseline testing.

Make an appointment with an RE, it is recommended you see a specialist if you have been trying for over a year. He or she will order a round of basic testing to get an idea of your hormones, health and any possible issues that could be preveneting pregnancy.

If you've been having regular unprotected sex for 2 years then I think the next step might be to contact a reproductive endocrinologist in your area and see how you feel about starting testing. If you haven't done so, you could look into temping and charting (a lot of women here use fertility friend, which has a website and great tutorials) in the meantime. Or try using ovulation predictor kits (available online at Amazon and most drugstores).

At two years it is absolutely within bounds to start seeking help. I notice you said 'take something' and there are treatments that you can do, but please be sure to do them under medical supervision. Even with fertility treatments they work differently for each person and you want a protocol that will work for you. I wouldn't go messing with OTC medications/herbs/teas/or anything you can buy online without talking to a doctor.

I agree with it being time to see a RE if you have been having unprotected sex for two years. Sometimes this can be expensive and not covered by insurance. Since you said you are getting your period each month, it may be cost effective to start with your partner. In my case, my OBGYN was able to order a sperm analysis. It's a relatively cheap test even if you need to pay out of pocket. Good luck!
