Help with pregnancy

I turned 44 in June and have been trying to concieve (conceive) my 5th child since May.  Unfortionately we have not been successful!  My period is every 28 days.  What are my chances of having a baby?

It sounds like your saying the chance of having a healthy baby are very slim.  Is there anything that can be done to get pregnant?  Or should I not even try since the chance of having a healthy child is slim?
