How do you think your dh would feel about having a semen analysis?

If we don't get pregnant in the next three cycles the doc wants Kelly to have a semen analysis. I asked dh how he felt about that and he said he didn't care. He'd do it. But I think guys sometimes have issues with this. Do you think your dh would be okay with having this done?

Depends on how long we have been trying. I would say if it got to the year and half mark he would agree to it....but we havent discussed that, he thinks he has super sperm!

My dh was fine with it. I suggested that we think about asking the doctor about it and he made himself an appointment. He sees the logic in that it's easier and cheaper for him to get his guys tested before we get any other testing done. Hopefully we'll have the results on friday.

I asked DF to get his tested a couple of months ago and I was surprised when he was all for it. I offered to "help" him to it if he had any problems, or to take it in for him but he said it wasn't necessary and got it all done and taken in by himself. I was actually quite proud of him, he even knew the guy he handed the sample too and it didn't bother him. Such a champ!

I don't know. Before he wasn't. Partly because our insurance won't cover it, partly because my OB was already pointing fingers at him due to a hernia surgery and blood pressure medicine. A PCOS diagnosis and a couple rounds of Clomid proved his swimmers work just fine though so now, insurance aside, he'd probably be a lot more willing.

I think he'd be willing to do what he had to. Just so long as things on his end remain non-invasive, I'm sure he'll be happy. LOL

DH would agree to it, he already offered at 3 mos of TTC to go get checked out saying he was worried that I'm stressing over myself and it could be him!

I just asked him and he said "Weeeelll, if I had toooo....." LOL So we got that out of the way

Well...at the moment I don't think he would be all that into it...I am sure I could talk him into it somehow but I would have to use strategy. haha...but later on if it was not looking good, I think he'd be up to it...he really wants me to get pregnant!! Sometimes even more than I do...there have been times when he has depressed me so much by asking every day if I had good news yet...he was like a little kid waiting for christmas or his birthday!! lmao!!
