I've had goldfish for over a decade now (different sets) and never have any of my goldfish been pregnant. My tank is big and I have many goldfish. It baffles me why they dont reproduce.

Goldfish don't get pregnant, they lay eggs. Maybe yours have but they ate all the eggs before you noticed. The males will have breeding tubercles (white dots on their gills and the front ray of their pectoral fins) when they are ready to mate, if you don't see any fish with them then you most likely won't have eggs.
I won 3 goldfish from a fair and 7 months later I had hundreds of eggs, I still have 3 of the babies. I few months ago they did it again but I didn't keep any this time since they need too much space and I don't have the kind of money to keep going out and buying more tanks.

It is very difficult to breed goldfish in a tank. They do reproduce fairly well in an outdoor pond however.

yes, they do, when conditions are right, I doubt that you had all fish of the same sex something is keeping them from spawning
I have bred goldfish and koi inside and outside for over 35 yrs
get a good book and see if you are doing everything right

Maybe you need to have a mixture of males and females in the tank...Either that or they are just shy

how big is big?
if you give it space and good food, they'll reproduce.
