A person's health and lifestyle choices do play an important role in fertility, but most of the infertility conditions are caused by conditions of the reproductive system (ovulation or fallopian tubes, for instance). These reproductive system conditions can be experienced by all women, regardless of health status, age, medical conditions, etc. Making healthy lifestyle choices (ie, not smoking, exercising, eating healthy, maintaining healthy weight) can provide you with the best chances of conception, but it does not "guarantee" conception.
There are many different causes/reasons for infertility, and sometimes it is "undetermined" or unknown in specific cases. You can read about the causes and risk factors of infertility: EmpowHER Conditions: Infertility/Fertility Causes.
The scenario you describe has so many possible answers, as it depends on the woman's and man's reproductive systems, in addition to numerous other factors.
Lastly, it does come down to basic math as well. In couples who are both fertile, the more times they have unprotected sex during the woman's fertile window, the more likely she is to become pregnant within a year.
You and your husband are thinking of trying to conceive? It is an interesting choice of words...that you are "thinking about" trying..not sure yet? Do you both want children, or are you not sure?
