Less than 1.5 years and almost no sex

Hey everyone,
I joined this forum because I really don't know how to handle my current situation, I just don't know where to go, turn, what to do, nothing. I'm lost.

My wife and I have only been married for about one year and two months, and we almost never have sex. By almost never, I mean generally once or MAYBE twice a month. I just don't understand it, and I don't know what more I could possibly do because I do everything I can to make her happy, make her smile, take care of her, and I can't think of any reasons of why she's not attracted to me like that. Or why she doesn't care to be...

Now, I know it maybe sound weird to word it the way I just did, but that's because she FINALLY after a year of being married acknowledged there was a problem. She talked to her doctor who put her on some medicine that generally increases female libido. My wife said it seemed like it was working but that it gave her headaches so she came off it. Now, it did seem like it was sort of working, when she was on it, we had sex a little more, but at most once a week, which to me still doesn't seem like enough. Like if we busy then maybe, but when we lay in bed together every night and watch TV for a couple hours, I don't see why sex can't happen.

Also, she has admitted openly to me that it's definitely not all medical / brain chemistry / physical and that probably half of it is her just not putting in the effort and just not caring too or something along those lines. Once she came off the original medicine, her doctor recommended she start taking an over the counter medicine to see if that helped her hormone levels. She has been on that for a couple weeks now and says she doesn't feel any different, but she still needs to go back for blood work to have her hormone levels measured. But she still hasn't tried putting in more effort despite me trying to talk to her about it and letting her know it makes me feel like crap.

I honestly feel like she's just not attracted to me that way and that she just does it to get it over with. I know that I shouldn't feel that way, but what am I supposed to think? And when we do have sex, 99% of the time it's the same kind of sex and I feel like there is no passion in it. I don't know what to do. I know I shouldn't feel like it's me, and she tells me all the time to not feel that way and that she thinks I'm incredibly sexy and awesome and what not, but then why would she not want to have sex?

I've done a ton of searching on the internet for ideas of things to do, but I've done pretty much all of them. I'm a pretty damn romantic guy naturally so any romantic ideas have basically been done. I do cute things for her all the time just because. I'm not a bad looking guy, I keep myself in great shape, I make her laugh all the time, her friends and family love me, I have a good job, like I don't know what else she could want from me. And I've asked her a million times if the sex is just bad for her and what we could do to make it better because maybe that is the cause, but she says that's not it either. And it just KILLS me that there are so many guys out there who don't treat their women half as good as I treat mine, and yet I feel like something that I always saw as a basic yet very important part of marriage barely ever occurs. The whole thing is just incredibly frustrating and upsetting. I just don't understand it at all.

I'm sorry for the novel, but I just wanted to throw as much as I could out there for anyone willing to listen and help. So thank you to whoever does.
