Brief Answer:
Get the semen analysis

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It sometimes is natural for one not to conceive within 6 to 12 months.

Its always better to get husband's semen analysis to rule out any sort of infertility in the partners.

Vitamin D levels will take a minimum of 4 to 6 months to reach normal even with supplementation.

Yes, do get Vitamin D level estimation in your husband too.

After being said that, intercourse after 10th and before 18th day of your period will be quite fruitful.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
