AnswerHello Greg,
In general, if a couple has been unable to get pregnant after one year of trying, we recommend doing a full infertility evaluation. That evaluation will check every step of the process required to become pregnant. Because your fiance is young, she should have become pregnant by now. There is definitely something going on and it needs to be discovered.
I would strongly recommend that you see a fertility specialist to have an evaluation done. That will help with overcoming some of your frustrations and get you on the path to a pregnancy.
