If you expect to continue this relationship "for eternity", you do need to talk about it, as everybody has said.
I have a bit of a different perspective. We likely will never have kids. We've tried everything within healthy reasonability. I think probably the wistfullness we experience when we try to jump that hurdle, only to have another visit fro Aunt Flo, would be similar. Maybe not, I don't know.
If I could just suggest one thing? Keeping in mind I got my psychiatry degree from a fortune cookie... take this opportunity to think about the future with this particular woman. Do you want to create a situation where having a child will be the right thing? I realize marriage isn't right for everybody - Lord knows I didn't sucuumb until I was 33, but your GF may be looking for some kind of feedback about what the future holds for this relationship, and it sounds like she wants babies.
So, talk, and use your brains. And double wrap it in the meantime.
