If a complete "recap" of the fertility w/u has not been considered, I would do that first. It seems kinda strange that you previously have had no problem with conception and now you have. This would include a semen analysis, study of your tubes, etc. If this is all normal, then you would have the option of controlled hyperstimulation of your ovaries, which "revs" up your own system/eggs...
