HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different possible causes for delayed conception though it is usually considered delayed after a year of trying so you still have some time.

If after a year, you still have not conceived them you and your husband may need to be assessed.

Your husband would need a semen analysis and you would need assessment of the uterus, ovaries and tubes.
Your assessment would be to make sure that there is no structural reason for difficult conception (abnormal structure of the uterus, blockage, endometriosis, scarring)

It would also involve hormonal blood tests to take a look at the ovaries.

In some persons no cause is found and it just takes a little time, this may be the case for you.

I hope this helps
