Hi All, Me and my OH have been ttc for nearly 3 years. After some tests it seems I'm ok but my OH had 3 sperm tests done and his results were that he had a 7 million sperm count in one test and an 11 million count in the second (the third test sample they lost). This is apparently low counts.
He also has a hydrocele and varicoli in his testicles (sorry if spelling is wrong its getting late ). He is going to see a specialist on the 19th and then will most likely have an op to remove them as they could possibly be obstructing the flow of sperm.
When my OH found out the first thing he said to me was 'Are you glad now? It's my fault that we can't get pregnant!', which really hurt. I can understand that it must be hard for him, and I don't blame him at all, I'm just glad we may finally be getting somewhere, but I feel so alone, like I can't talk to him about it without him clamming up or getting defensive.
Does anyone here have a partner that has fertility issues and how did you get through it?
