What to do?

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure how to start, but I'm turning 29 this year and have a huge desire for children. We've been trying to get pregnant since August 2017 without any success. In July 2018, I went to the gynecologist for advice. They had taken a smear and done a vaginal ultrasound, and everything seemed normal. She advised me to keep trying. I was told to take folic acid, and we both needed to be tested—blood tests and sperm analysis. In October 2018, we had to return for a consultation, and the test results were shared. My blood test was fine, and my partner's sperm analysis was also good, except he was prescribed a supplement for improvement.
Since there were no other unusual observations, she suggested a laparoscopy in November. They would check if the passage was clear and if the uterus was properly formed. During the surgery, it turned out that the passage was clear, but the uterus wasn't shaped like a pear as it should be. It was T-shaped. They corrected this. I didn't experience any issues myself except for the first few days, and my period became much heavier.
Today, I had a follow-up consultation with the gynecologist. (In the meantime, we've continued trying to conceive.) The check-up went well; the mucus plug was much larger, and the mucus formation looked better according to the gynecologist. I mentioned that ovulation should normally occur today, and she said she could see on the images that it had already passed. Although we've been doing well in the last few days. Is this good or bad news?
