Only a doctor can answer that. You should have gone to a specialist one year ago.

Maybe you are not having intercourse at the right time. Try charting your ovulation for a couple of months by either checking your basal body temp. or using the ovulation predictor kits you can purchase at the pharmacy. This way you can be certain of when you are ovulating.
If you have already done this step then make an appointment with the doctor to ask his opinion. It may not be you at all. Your partner could have a low sperm count. If you are healthy and have regular periods your GYN would probably test your partner first. If he is not the cause, it may be a blocked Fallopian tube which would not prohibit your menstrual cycle. This can be diagnosed through a hysterosalpingogram (HSG).
There can be many reasons. But, if you want to know for sure you will have to incorporate the help of your doctor.

One thing that I can say with some certainty is that not finding out if there is a problem won't help at all. All the wondering and anxiety you must be feeling will only be having a stressful affect on you and stress alone can hinder your chances of conceiveing. Don't be afraid to go to the Dr because even if you and/or your partner have a fertility issue there is still plenty of hope of conceiving. You just might need a little bit of help. Please see a Dr - don't waste anymore precious time. Good luck.

I'm assuming you have been with the same partner throughout the 3 years. A fertility problem belongs to both of you, never think of it as something wrong with one of you. They are also very common. 1 in 3 couples have problems conceiving. Luckily there's a lot of help to be had out there. Speak to your partner about you concerns and tell him that you feel it's time you both consulted the doctor. See where you go from there.
Good luck

There is nothing wrong with you! Getting pregnant is difficult!
Do you chart your cycle? Take your temperature every morning. It will rise slightly when you ovulate (around the middle of your cycle) and will stay higher until you get your next period. Also keep an eye on your mucus. It will become stretchy like egg white as you aproach ovulation. Once released your egg remains viable for fertilisation for just 12-24 hours. Sperm can survive for up to 5 days in this most fertile mucus.
When trying to concieve it is recommended to have intercourse every other day for a week before you ovulate and then the day after.
You can learn the basics of charting with FertilityFriend.com. If you live in the UK and are married, a charity called LIFE UK runsan excellent and very sucessful fertility awareness programme.
Keep taking those prenatal vitamins and kepe trying! Try not to worry about it as stress can delay ovulation too!

Hi, being no expert on the subject I would suggest that you see a doctor/family planner. They should be able to help you and put your mind to rest about what the problem is (if there is one).
In the mean time keep trying! Good luck & Best wishes.

go to your doctor with your husband/partner and get all the relevant tests it is not always the woman with the problems he needs to have a sperm count done to check his fertility to after the tests there will be more information available and a lot of options to try like ovulation kits fertility pills etc.. get an appointment with your local GP and he/she will referal you to a specialist good luck don't stress in wont help the process

Three years is a long time and must be stressful for you. After that long, it seems unlikely that it's simply a case of poorly timed intercourse.
You really need to get yourself some professional help - there is lots out there.
Good luck!
