The doctors have said if it is genetic there is not a lot they can do. We decided to get checked out and they found I was the one with the problem. If this fails we may only be left with the option of donor sperm. They said my sperm count was low and I would need treatment.

My wife and I have not had a benedetto to discuss this possibility but you can imagine the implications it could have on our marriage. I felt terrible when they told me as I am a proud man and the thought of not being able to get my wife pregnant was very hard for me to deal with. My wife and I had been trying to get pregnant for over a year. I have to admit she has been fantastic and tells me it will be okay. Am I a big enough person to give my wife a baby this way. So far they have given me some medication and there has even been talk of surgery. I do not know how other guys feel when they are given news like this but I feel helpless.

If that does not work they may have to artificially inseminate the sperm into my wife's eggs.
