The answer is usually to stop trying!! it will then happen of its own accord, try taking a few day away to somewhere very special for the both of you, a holiday abroad maybe. It will happen when you least expect it, it happened to me after 4 years of trying, we gave up all hope and then she fell pregnant whilst on holiday.
ditto what Ratter says, or even more of a foolproof method is to apply to adopt, never fails, basically because your tension and hopes are fucused elsewhere,
The attached site has some interesting information, but I'm sure you are aware of most of it.

I have been in this situation and it is very tough. The good news is that you know you can get pregnant, sometimes miscarriage is the body's "trial run" and in most cases the next pregnancy is fine. There are a number of reasons why conception doesn't happen, one being stress. Try and find a passtime to help you relax ie yoga, meditation, aromatherapy or just listen to some tranquil music, light some candles and just chill out. the next thing is to prepare your bodies, I have recently been studying conception as part of a nutrition course and there are some interesting ideas. Both of you should try and cut out all stimulants, alcohol, tea, coffee, fizzy drinks and chocolate. Up your intake of fruit, veg, nuts and seeds, essential fatty acids found in oily fish and flax seed oil, and lots of water. For your partner Vitamin C (1000 mg per day) Zinc 50 mg per day and for you a Vitamin b complex and folic acid. Try to establish your most fertile time to give you the best chance of conceiving ( you probably already know this) and you could also try something someone once tol me "put your legs up the wall afterwards" - a bit dramatic but I think they meant to raise your legs after making love. This can help with women who have wombs that tilt backwards. It worked for me anyway!! I hope this helps you and I wish you lots of love, I am sure you will have your wish soon.

Honestly what these guys are saying is true. Me and my hubby were trying for over 2 years, in that time we had 1 miscarriage amd 1 unestablished pregnancy. It was all getting very stresful and we ended up forgetting to relax and 'enjoy' ourselves.......that was until I got a fixation on getting a puppy!! no really!! i ploughed all my efforts into looking into different breeds etc and this took my mind off it all, in turn we relaxed more and low and behold i fell pregnant and am now 6 months gone.
Please really try to let go a bit, don't stress I know how it is when it seems everyone around you is having babies but the way I ended up looking at it is - you always hear when someone is expecting but hardly anyone tells you when they are not, you are not alone its alot more common than you think.
Don't get down about it, relax keep positive and have fun x x x x
