Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.50.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to work, parenthood, and seasons.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't think it's common but just press try for baby.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims perform the celebration action for trying for baby indicating they've agreed to try for baby, but they never begin moving to the bed and never end up pregnant, the action just stops after they expressed happiness. There's no complaining they can't reach the bed or recognition they began at all, they don't get any buffs or have the option to have a pregnancy test.
What do you expect to see? For sims to move to the bed and... actually try for a baby and then get pregnant or not get pregnant.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
Both sims have full relationship, needs, are flirty, are young adults, the bed is accessible to both, have complimentary abilities to reproduce, and the option is available. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, played with and without mods, and it's gone through several patches since the issue first began. I've used multiple households and couples and none will try for a baby at all. They won't woohoo either but I don't really care about that, I just tested it out to try and figure out the issue. I'm big on playing families and legacies so this is really annoying.

The bed is definitely accessible, I've moved it to the centre of the room with nothing around it and they don't indicate they can't reach it. It's happened to every couple I've tried, across multiple save files and households, with user controlled and townie sims, there's nothing like toddlers in the household at all. I wouldn't expect it to be common since if it were a major issue it'd have been fixed months ago but I'm hoping there's something easy to fix behind it.

I'm not sure, I don't know how to rename the users folder but I uninstalled and reinstalled the sims on origin.

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
