Brief Answer:
I would keep trying for at least 6 months before seeking medical help.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to healthcare magic.com. Since you have other children your husband can be removed from the equation. Normally we will consider infertility new or acquired after 6 months of trying to have children with failure. Since you were on this birth control for such a long time, it might just be taking your body a little bit longer to get used and have a more favorable environment for implantation of an embryo. Give it some time and good luck.
