Not likely: 85% of couples get pregnant within 12 months of starting to try to get pregnant. If it's been > 1 year, see your doctor. One of the first tests they'd do would be a semen analysis to be sure your boyfriend's sperm count is normal. They can also check for any other problems.You should be taking prenatal vitamins also.
