I haven't seen my geckos copulate this year yet but i have seen them do it last year, and she had had 3 clutches after copulation that were fertile. If she doesnt copulate this year, will any of her clutches be fertile?

Just because you don't see them copulate doesn't mean they're not "doing it". I had one male that I never saw copulate, but I got plenty of offspring. Although female geckos have been known to store sperm from one season to another, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that she will. You should also check to see if she's ovulating. It's a bit early for most leopard geckos.
