In answer to your question, there are many women who have tried to conceive for over a year and then were finally able to become pregnant.  Sometimes it was just a matter of improper timing, sometimes because of stress in their lives, and sometimes because of health or hormonal issues.
If you and your fiance have been trying a year without getting pregnant, then you should be able to see your OB-GYN and have some blood work and other tests done to see if there is anything physically that could be preventing you from becoming pregnant.
I wish you the best, and ignore the nay-sayers...  awesome how everyone tells you "It's your life, do what you want!" but only if your life matches up with the one they think you should have, hm? ...

I think it's really rude and judgmental for so many to be saying such bad things about the girl who posted this.  If she had left her age off, I'm sure she would have been flooded with good advice and well wishes, but instead she got a bunch of women trying to be her mother.
If everyone started trying to get pregnant when they were young and healthy @ 18 (which by the way, is considered a PRIME age to achieve and maintain a pregnancy) then maybe there would be less need for infertility clinics!

Not everyone is created equal and in many cultures it is considered to norm to not only have several children by the time they are 30, but these women are also MATURE enough to carry this responsibility.. so unlike the society of today that think "I don't need to be married until I am 30+ because I am going to enjoy myself!" and then has to have expensive IF treatments when they finally decide to have children.

You guys are hilarious! I thought I was the only ADD person here, lol! You probably sent the op running for the hills by now! LOL

To the op, please consider waiting until you're a bit older and more secure financially and otherwise. You will be glad you did! Raising a child is very, very expensive. Enjoy your youth for now. Enjoy some alone time with your honey. After babies come, things change and it's harder to get that time alone! Just remember that!
