If you are under 30, up to one year of trying is normal. If you are over 30, after 6 months of trying and no luck you should go see your OBGYN.
Go buy the book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. Check out the website: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ Go buy a basal thermometer at the drug store. You need to start charting so that you can get an accurate picture of what is happening in your cycles. This information can aid you in having sex at the correct time as well as providing your doctors with information that can lead them to figuring out what the problem is.
Some other tips:
-When having baby sex, do not use lube (KY Jelly, astroglide, etc) it renders sperm immobile. If you want to use lube, use preseed. (You should try it anyway even if you don't usually use lube. Preseed promotes a sperm friendly atmosphere. You insert it 10 minutes prior to having sex.) http://www.preseed.com/
-Do not douche or use scented tampons. They alter the acidity of the vagina.
-Do not have oral sex when you are having baby sex. Saliva can kill sperm.
-Have sex in the missionary position. This allows for the deepest penetration and will deposit the sperm closest to the cervix.
-After sex, stay laying down with your pelvis slightly elevated/tilted for 15 minutes.
-try acupuncture- it has helped many women conceive

It is time to visit your doctor. See an obgyn doc.
He will check & see why you arn't pregnent.
Your man has to be checked also.
I am not sure how long you consider how long but hang in there and ask doctor for help
Good Luck
