Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr Ramadevi wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
Please note that among women less than 40 years trying for pregnancy, 80% conceive within the first year and 90% conceive by the end of second year. It is only since 18 months you are trying for pregnancy. So don't worry.
It is good to know that your hormone tests are normal. Why your partner and you are thinking of negative things. As mentioned above it is natural for some to have this delay in getting pregnant.
Let your partner have the semen analysis test after two days of abstinence. If it is not normal consult infertility specialist. There is help available.
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.

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