Reasons for infertility in a man could be any of the following:
1. Abnormal sperm production
2. Problem delivering the sperm properly
3.Overall health (obesity, alcohol, drug usage, and even tobacco can make it difficult to conceive)
4. Overexposure to pesticides, chemicals, or heat (saunas, hot tubs)
5. Damage caused by cancer or its treatments
6. Age (men over the age of forty have a harder time conceiving)
The female could also be the problem for the following reasons:
1. Blocked or damaged fallopian tube
2. Endometriosis (when the cell from the lining in the uterus, grow on the outside for some reason
3. Ovulation disorders (the eggs are not being released properly
4. Elevated prolactin (prolactin is the hormone that produces breast milk. Too much can make it harder to get pregnant)
5. Polycystic ovary syndrome (your body produces too much of the hormone androgen
6. Early Menopause
7. Benign tumors in the wall of the uterus
8. Bands of scar tissue that bind organs after pelvic infection, appendicitis, or abdominal or pelvic surgery
9. Some meds can cause infertility
10. Thyroid problems
11. Cancer and treatments for it
That's a lot of scary things considered, but if you're having problems getting pregnant, then you have to consider every possibility...even the bad ones.
I highly recommend going to see a Dr. and letting them run the proper tests. It could be nothing at all. Sometimes it just takes a while. Besides as long as you're enjoying the process, it can't be all bad ;)

Keep in mind that a successful pregnancy can take up too a year or long for some couples too.
