 You pt your boyfriend would love a baby! Shouldn't that have said we would love a baby? anyway.....
Try going and seeing your local family planning clinic or doctors, both you and your partner and get tested to see if things are in working order.
Some people try for years and years to get pregnant so stop panicking and enjoy the fun you will have making a baby. You may find you fall pregnant quicker if there isn't so much stress you you falling pregnant right now!
Are you taking folic acid and eating a healthy diet as they may be playing a factor aswell????

 Hello, I just wanted to say I am going through the same thing - one year and no baby. In my case there are medical conditions that maybe affecting fertility and I have an appointment at the hospital in 4 weeks time - there are ovulation drugs and IVF options if you or your partner are found to be sub or infertile. The sort of doctor you require is a gynaecologist who specialises in fertility issues (some specialise in diseases). A few blood tests and an ultrasound scan will exclude medical causes of infertility for you and put your mind at ease. Even if you have a medical problem like me - there are lots of options available.
Try not to worry too much as you have bags of time on your side...

 Have more unprotected sex..
but if you feel that you are having trouble conceiving, nsee your doc and get a checkup. but keep in mind that just because you've been trying for a year now unsuccessfully, doesn't mean you are not fertile, you may just have bad luck with your timing. But to me in life it seems the people who get pregnant most are ones that don't want to get pregnant, so just don't want it and maybe it'll come. but good luck.

 See your GP and get a check up and then they can refer you to a specialist if need be.
Good luck.

 My friend tried so hard to have a baby, she was unsuccessful for a year. The one thing you need is; love. Getting stressed about not falling pregnant will make it less likely for you to concieve.
Have you tried eating healthily? Getting exercise? Pregancy will happen when your body knows it's healthy, happy and secure. So think about steps you can take to improve your physical health and well-being.

Trust me, I've been there done that at about 17 and its sooo hard. I regret having a baby too young because I or should I say me and my husband struggled alot in finances, how to work with having a baby around...just everything! I didnt get to enjoy my young years or enjoy my baby that much because I was always trying to keep things going. If I were you, I'd enjoy my young years while I can! Im not critizing you, Im just trying to save you all the worries that you'll be having if you do decide to have a baby now. I'd say that a good age to have a baby is like around 25 when you are a whole lot settled. It wont be as hard if you wait. I mean because if you wait, you'll problaby by then have a paid off car, problaby you and your husband would of already bought a house, You'll be a whole lot stable and plus you'll enjoy your baby a whole lot more because you wont have all these things getting in the way. I hope you understand. The years will go by fast and before you know it, you'll be ready to have a baby. Hope you change your mind. take care!
