well, docs say you need to try for a year in most circumstances, before they say there is a potential fertility problem... so id say first off that you havent been trying that long. it is true that conception is generally more difficult as you get older (well known for women, but also research indicates for men as well), but that still does not mean you are having problems conceiving.

id say talk to your doctor. though i think the one year waiting time before declaring a problem is pretty common, your doc might consider testing you sooner if you dont have the results you wish for in a few more months.

do you have a history of endometriosis/adhesions?

in the meantime, act as if you are pregnant (proper vitamins for ex) and work to strengthen your body. my wife became pregnant for the second time at 36, and though shes always been fit, she was probably in the best physical condition shed been in for some time, and was glad when the pregnancy took its toll on the body in later stages.

If you were on the depo shot it can take up to 18 months before it is out of your system enough to get pregnant. I havent been on depo for 17 months now, and trying for a year of that. so dont lose hope. Definitely get checked out if you are really worried about it, because stressing can make getting pregnant take longer. So do what you can to ease your mind, and try to be calm about it. hard to do when you really want to get preggo, I know, but it really issome of the best advice that i have gotten. I wish you the best of luck
