 It is considered 'normal' when trying for a baby for up to one year in medical circles. If you have tried for longer than that then you need to be investigated more rigorously by a specialist in fertility and endocrine medicine. I would say don't give up hope as I tried for a baby for three years and after one miscarriage I am now 6 months pregnant. I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and a thyroid dysfunction and a septum in the uterus but only after several years of being turned away by doctors who were reluctant to run any tests. If I hadn't received treatment then I am quite sure I would not be having a baby now. My point is that you have to keep going back and change doctors if you feel they are not listening or taking your problems seriously. You need ultrasound, possible laparoscopy and a full work up of blood tests to identify any abnormalities that could be inhibiting your fertility. You are still quite young so don't give up hope!

the previous post says it all really. Endometiosis can cause infertility or can cause problems when trying to make a baby and i would recommend you see your GP.
The pill is a tricky one. Some people who have been on it for 15 years come off it and get pregnant straight away others wait before they do.
Painful menstuation and during sex suggests to me that you do still have something a miss with your womb which my friend had, and still has, and had to have cryotherapy in the worse cases so i'd definitely go and talk to a specialist about it.The internet contains a lot of information on things like this but this may just worry you as most of the information is biased or misleading so speaking to a specialist you can answer all the questions you wnt to and get a straight answer and take the next step.
i wish you all the best and hope you hear the pitter patter of tiny feet very soon :o)

 You Dr. needs to run more tests. He's missing something. Perhaps some fertility tests on both you and your fiance will determine why you cannot get pregnant. Also read up on Endometriosis, which can prevent you from getting pregnant and causes many of the symptoms you're describing. I wish you the best.
