Yes...but: It could also be your partner. The cited wait for a desired pregnancy averages 6 months. After a year a consultation with a fertility center by both prospective parents would be reasonable.Although fertility in women can diminish with age, you have produced kids but your partner has not.( by your report) It does take two for it to work.
