Could Age Play a part?

Okay Ladies I am going to give you some back ground on me and See what type of advice I can get, if nothing more than a "I am not sure"..

I am 25 yrs old and I have 4 wonderful children, who are in a different state(totally different story) and my Fiancee' and I are trying for His first and my 5th, to no avail thus far. And I have had 5 miscarriages.

My 4 childrens fathers are 40(DD's Father) and 32 (DS's Father. a.k.a. the Ex)

Now my Fiancee is 46 yrs old and Has never been able to produce a child of His own.

Now with His clock ticking I want to try and give Him a child of His own, not a very selfish thing or at least I dont think so. Now here is the question, Does age play any part in TTC?? Or I am just going nuts for no reason.


Also AF showed Her ugly head for a day and a half, and I am lightly spotting AFTER the big O.. What is up with that.

yes, I have read that as a man gets older, his sperm count is reduced. I have seen tests in the pharmacy where he can test at home to check his sperm. (I dont know if its a yes or no, like yes sperm are present, or if its an actual count)

good luck!
