Are my glow plugs dead?

For the past couple of days my car has failed to start in the morning after cooling off all nite. I turn the key and let the coil light go out and nothing happens. To get it started now I have to repeat the starting process 5= times and then wait about 10 minutes, come back, and then it usually starts right up as if there is no problem. It doenst hesitate to start throughout the day once its been driven.
Everything on the car runs fine. In fact ive spent at least 5K over the past 4 months bringing everything on the car up to date-new front end etc etc etc. The funny thing is is that with all 3 of the diesels ive owned, ive never had to touch the glowplugs. So im new to the problem of them burning out. Im thinking thats why im having starting trouble. Any suggestions?
