Your age is the most important factor affecting your chance of conceiving. This is largely due to a decline in the quality of eggs produced over the age of 40. My advice to you would be to test for your level of a hormone called AMH ( Anti-Müllerian Hormone) as this will give you an idea of your fertility and chance of conceiving naturally. AMH is a simple blood test and can be done at any time of the menstrual cycle.
