Cant get pregnant?
Im married over 3 seasons with upgraded house with nursery, have 14 hearts with the NPC. I know there should be 5% chance he is going to ask about baby before sleeping, but not getting the question even once in almost whole year is crazy.

Check https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Children carefully. It have extra requirements.
Notably, a dedicated Nursery room, which comes with second house upgrade but gets rebuilt into something else and forgotten.
Especially as crib removal is being performed free of charge...

5% per day is 5% per day regardless of how many days passed.
In other words, chance to have at least one proposal to have kids with base 5% and 20 days of trying is never 100%.
And unless there's some hidden mechanics which would allow to force 100% proposal, base 5% chance will NEVER translate into 100% over any remotely achieveable span of time.
That's how probabilities work, unfortunately.

(also, friendly reminder: no, you still can't bang Krobus)

Upd.
If, by any chance, you have any D&D playing acquitances, ask them how often they get natural 20.
That's relatively same thing.
And they'll explain it better than me.

Yes I know how probability works, it was just hard for me to believe I can be this unlucky. I checked all requirements before adding this post, so yes Im sure I have it all ready.
Thank you for trying to help, but I actually wanted someone to look into that or confirm they got pregnant after latest release, not making a dummy out of me to check what I checked multiple times already, and explain how probability works.

RNG became quite harsh in v1.6 . And it's official, quoting 1.6.0 changelog:

> Randomization no longer produces simple repeating patterns in many cases (e.g. clay farming, mushroom level prediction, crab pot fish offset, etc).

There probably should be a method of enabling "Use Legacy Randomization" option for existing save for a month or two. Just to... hmmmmmmmm, how should I call it... let you strenghten your dynasty with heirs, if speaking in Crusader Kings II style.
Quick googling yielded nothing - but mod/editor/instruction how to do so will appear eventually. Sometimes new RNG pisses people beyond measure...

Okay, thank you very much! I guess no family achiev for me then, since I already spent 15+ hours trying for the first kid, I have no willpower to keep trying…
Have a nice day and thanks again!

(offtopic: this whole situation gives me strong Scrubs s5 ep1 vibes.
I bet that next time you'll gift Clint something edible - he'll find a surprise in that snack...)

For anyone having the same bug - I just used Adjust Baby Chance mod (changed the chance from 0,05 to 0,99 and got asked to have a baby the very first night). The default conditions for pregnancy have to be met.

Alternatively (for some people the mod above wasnt working), someone recommended Planned Parenthood mod

well I am married to Haley and I get the question "have a baby" almost every night when I go to bed, and even though I have said YES many times, we have yet to have a child, the question keeps repeating every night. Why don;t we have a child yet?

Just in case if my previous attempts were a failure and a slove'able problem in fact exists.

The Web says that there might be antique game logics mishap where the house might count as "messy" while it's not - which might prevent children from appearing.
(I ♥♥♥♥ you not)
No idea how it might be applicable to your particular case.
But it's worth trying to... hmmmm... de-decorate the house.
NPCs are slightly better at navigating around things - but old logics related to considering house "messy" might still be inact (and cause problems)...
