Hi,
What is your age and BMI?
Of the young couple trying for pregnancy about 80% of them conceive in a years time. So don't get stressed.
To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking ( if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three times in a week.

Since you had an ectopic earlier there is a small possibility that the fallopian tubes may not be doing their job as they should be. If I were your doctor, I would wait for 4-5 months. If you don't conceive by then I would suggest a diagnostic laparoscopy. This helps to assess tubal patency and at the same time we can know whether the tubes are healthy. If there are any adhesions around the tube they can be released too.

If you have any further concerns do contact me through Healthcare Magic.
