hii ana..
i understand your concern. you said you were trying to get pregnant since 5yrs, in order to know your clear history, i have a few questions for you like,
1) did you use any treatment while you were trying to get pregnant?
2) do you have irregular periods because you said you were on birth control pills?
Usually after stopping the birth control pills, you should be able to conceive in around 4 to 5 cycles of your period. So wait for 2 more cycles and see.. but if you do not get pregnant then consult a gyn&obs specialist.
If a similar case walks into my clinic i would suggest some tests for my patient like transvaginal ultrasound (to look at het ovaries, uterus and tubes for patency) and some hormonal tests (FSH, LH levels)
If a women fails to get pregnant spontaneously after trying for around one yr we would ask her to go through the above said tests. So consult your treating doctor and plan your pregnancy. if you have any more doubts please write back i will be happy to clear them. hope this helped. goodluck.
