Have you both been checked out, him for sperm count and you in all sorts of internal and hormonal ways?
Time to go to your doc if you haven't done so. If you already have, but no joy, ask him about polycystic ovaries (esp if you are overweight, irreg periods, spots, excess hair) and then ask about Metformin

Start by getting a basal thermometer. These measure your temperature in tenths of a degree, so that you can see the smallest variations in body temperature.
Before you get out of bed every morning, and I mean EVERY morning, take your temperature. Record the results, and your temperature (unless you are sick) should be fairly constant, within a few tenths of a degree.
When you see a slight increase in your temperature, this is when you are ovulating. It will stay a bit higher until you have your period, when it will drop back down to where it was during the first half of the month.
If there is NO increase in temperature, then the problem could be that you are not ovulating, and that would be why you are not getting pregnant.
Here is a temperature chart which you could use to do the recording of your temperature. Makes it easier to see that increase and decrease.

My husband and i also tried for 3 years we saw a fertility specialist and ended up trying various forms of fertility drugs none of which worked for us. Then when it came time to do IVF i put it off as i want ready and then fell pregnant naturally.
Obviously it depends what the cause if infertility either and on your ages etc. I am 31.
stay positive - if you are not ready or havent the money to see a spacialist - maybe even try a naturopath - some people have success with that.
good luck

I know it can be stressing sometimes when you are trying to get pregnant but here are some things I found very effective when I was trying myself.
- Don't think too much about it...not to be TOO STRESSED out from work or on anything you're doing
- Have SEX every early morning(like 5am or earlier)and make sure to do it everyday
- Have a complete rest, 8 hours sleep
- Eat healthy (Try drinking milk and eat fruits & vegies)
- See your doctor and ask if you can take additional vitamins to help your body
I hope these will help you.

To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.
After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.
After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.
Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

See a fertility specialist. More than likely at least one of you can't conceive.
In the meantime, relax, make love. Drink a glass of wine. Go on a date. Don't forget about your marriage. Sex should be making love - not just making babies. And high levels of stress can cause someone not to conceive.
Just remember, God only gives you what you can handle. After being told this by my best friend after I found out I was pregnant with twins (my 6th & 7th)...I completely believe this to be true.

The funny thing is that it always happens when you're not trying. But hey thats life. I know you may not believe me but try different positions. Like doggystyle isn't the best for trying to get pregnant, gravity and stuff like that messes it up. But next time after he has came inside of you place a pillow up under yourself, like right at your hips. Lie there for 30 minutes. Im not sure if it works but this what they say. If all fails then maybe its time to go and see the ole' doctor.....Good luck sweetness.......keep us posted....

After sex, prop your hips up on a pillow for about 10 minutes to keep the sperm in the downward motion. OR, I know of several couples who started adoption proceedings ... and then became pregnant. Once you take the pressure off, you become more giddy and more prone to fun sex rather than "right time" sex.

We have somehting in common. I, too have been TTC for over three years. We went on Clomid last month and got pregnant right away, but lost the baby. Have you tried Clomid yet? If you have, and it didn't work, I also suggest an HSG. Good luck
