Yes. Get checked out: With 'proven fertility' you should get prego in the first year of ttc again, but it can still happen naturally. This is a good time to see your obstetrician or a fertility specialist (rei) to help you to get pregnant again. We check you for ovulation issues like pcos, other hormonal problems, low egg supply, blocked tubes (did you have a c section?), problems inside your uterus or sperm problems.

Infertility : You now meet criteria for the diagnosis of infertility. At this point you should see your gynecologist or a reproductive endocrinologist for an evaluation. Women 35 years old and above should be evaluated after 6 months of unprotected intercourse.

Why you ?: If you have been trying for a year without success it is time for you BOTH to be evaluated.It takes two, and healthy sperm are part of the picture. You can start with calling your OBGYN for a referral to a fertility center. Both would be part of the evaluation.If they find a problem in either, they can provide the details on how to fix or work around it.
