In the Journal of the American Medical Association, recent evidence suggests that older men are more likely to pass down genetic defects to their children. Researchers have found a gradual increase in DNA damage as men age.

I feel your frustration. It took us forever to concieve our second baby. Our first one was easy because she wasn't planned!!! But when push comes to shove and we were waiting, hoping, planning and making our second, we couldn't get pregnant.

I honestly think it was the stress. I stressed myself out. I stressed my husband out. I stressed everyone out around me. All I did was focus on this calendar. I was constantly scribbing on it and double checking when I would be ovulating. I think they say when you want something really badly and you focus all your energy on it, you are less likely to get it. So what did i do? I finally let the idea of conceiving go. I threw away the calendar, and went back into our date night routines and focused more on my first child. Once I have let nature take it's course, I GOT PREGNANT! (that took about 2 months) I think the trick is to not focus so hard. Btw, a little alcohol helps. They say that drinking will increase body temperature, which creates the male and female to be more fertile. Anyways, it worked for us and now we are expecting our second!

Good Luck!
