Im a 24yr old female and I've been married for 2 years now. me and my husband are trying to conceive for a few months now but nothing. My question is are there certain things we have to do to conceive faster? We have sex about every other day
Is there anything we could do to conceive faster ? Vitamins maybe ? More sex? Anything?

Now if you have been on birth control medication it is going to take time for the medication to completely leave your system and everything returns to normal. Two to three months would be in the range of normal for this to happen especially if you have been on birth control medication for a long time.
While there is no scientific proof to this; it is know that when you try too hard to conceive, conception sometimes doesn't happen. It is believed that the tension of trying to conceive at all costs, so to speak, causes of some type of disruption. As I said this is more of an old wives tale than scientific reason but does have a modicum of truth to it. When you are meant to conceive it will happen.
Unfortunately making a baby is not as simple as two loving people having sex. If you have tracked you ovulation cycle made sure to reframe from sex three days before you are most fertile and still after several attempts no conception. Then it may be time for medical intervention. You will need to see your Gynecologist for a complete reproductive work up. Your husband needs to see his doctor for a complete physical including a check for low "T" and a sperm count and study.
If after visiting your doctors everything checks out, then you and your husband may want to consider seeing a fertility specialist. Either of your doctors can refer you if you ask.
Frankly I think it may be a combination of trying too hard and waiting for any birth control medication to wear off. When my wife and I first attempted we were told it would be two to three months before conception would occur. We nailed it in the third month.

We've heard about GMO foods for quite a while from both sides and I've read enough information that says a diets too high in GMO foods can have a disruptive effect on fertility. So why not at least try foods that are better for your body while trying to get pregnant. Heres a link to an article on it. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Here's a few others, avoid caffeine totally while trying to get pregnant and I've found articles that say even before pregnancy to stop drinking alcohol as it can effect fertility too.
Now we move on to sperm count. Stress is one factor that can lead to lower sperm counts in men. If the stress is over not being pregnant, it become a defeating cycle real quickly. Also, farmers have known for centuries how to keep the mals in a herd of animals from being able to reproduce. The testicles need to be bound closer to the body and the body heat lowers or kills off alot of the sperm. So the opposite would be to get pregnant, make him wear boxers if he is wearing briefs. I still remember my husband making the change from briefs to boxers when we heard this from another couple trying to get pregnant. It worked for us. I am sure there must be more on the net regarding diet and such. Just put in a search phrase, "What prevents ability to get pregnant" Good luck!

Ovulation occurs BEFORE your menstrual cycle, though it is possible, as I have heard, to get pregnant even during your period. Sometimes it could take months to conceive, sometimes much shorter. If anything, keep trying, even speak with your family doctor about ways to insure conception, it also would not hurt to make sure both you and your husband are fertile.
