If you want to actively seek pregnancy, go see your Gynecologist. Do you have the same partner as the other 6 times? If not he should be checked first. At 39, it is less likely to achieve a pregnancy than at younger ages and as you get older it gets less and less likely. That is why you should see your Gynecologist and get to working on this.
