does your DH/SO have any fertility issues?

DH's parents had fertility issues because of FIL's thyroid. DH has the same symptoms FIL had before he was diagnosed, so I suspect he may also have an issue. I've had to push him a bit to get tested, and the best I've been able to do is convince him to go for a routine physical and hope they check him. My area is backwards and assumes everything is always the female's issue, esp. with an endo diagnosis.

That is frustrating Lucy! Luckily both my Dr. overseas and my old gyn wanted him checked first because there was no point in torturing me if it was both of us ya know. DH's guys were exceptional which made him cocky - in a funny way

I figured he would be. His dad has 2 boys, one of my BIL's has 2 boys, and the other has 1 boy and 1 girl. As guilty as I feel for being the reason he can't have a bio child, I'm glad he wasn't the problem because he would have taken it a lot harder.

Sorry for the running of the mouth - percocet seems to make me talk a lot

Not that we know of but he has not been tested. I think the next step if we don't get pg soon will be for him to get tested. FIL had low sperm count so it is a possiblilty but BIL has three children. I hope he does not have anything wrong with him because I do not think he would handle it very well.

when we were TTC Kyla, DH got tested as well. and he had 2% morphology. so very bad. lots of swimmers but not that many perfectly formed. it was caused by a varicocele. i dont know if it has righted itself or still a problem.
