Well your chances do decrease with age, but that does not mean you can not conceive. If memory serves me right I believe they consider it a possible fertility problem if you have tried for 6 months without success. It would never heut to talk to your doctor about a fertility workup. But first maybe you should (if not already doing so) chart your BBT. Take your tep every morning before you rise up. There will be a peak in the temp right after ovulation. Also try using OPK's this will give you an idea of when you might ovulate. Best of luck.

To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.
After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.
After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.
Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

If you have not had any type of medical problems, and have never had a problem getting pregnant with the first three children, you should be capable of getting pregnant again. I would not worry about it, try and see what happens! You will be fine, rest a sure, you won't have any problems.

Since, you have used birth control in the past, your chances are that it will take longer!

You shouldnt have any trouble. But if you do, I would talk to your doctor.
