fixed point in a function of two variables

I want to obtain the fixed point of a process that is supposed to be 
convergent. The Mathematica function FixedPoint also works with 
functions of two variables.Even I have added  a test function so that it 
finalizes when the difference is minor than 0.001. But I must abort the 
process because it enters a curl and there are two points that are 
repeated indefinitely as it is observed with NestList. Does anybody know 
how I can obtain the fixed point?

Thanks for your help.
