How did you get your partner to get his sperm tested?

Question

For those of you who's partners have had their sperm tested, how did you bring it up without threatening their manhood?

We've been TTC for 5 months and I'm wondering if my husband maybe has an issue. I've had my hormones checked and an internal ultrasound and all good. He doesn't have the highest drive in the world as he suffers from a bit of anxiety and stress from work but we usually manage to BD at least a few times during my window and I've been using OPKs and preseed and still... Nothing..

Suggestions please?

Answer

I only brought it up because my doctor suggested it. My husband was all for it. I think it helped that it came from the doctor though.

Answer

My hubby refuses to go. I don't know if he is embarrassed or what. He said he knows for sure that his swimmers are fine 😏

Answer

My husband did the at home test you can buy at CVS. It doesn't test for motility though, just sperm count. But it made him feel better that he didn't have to go to a clinic

Answer

I just basically talked about how his family history on his dad's side all only have one kid and it's one boy and there's not much that we know about his dad's side so it could be his sperm but I really didn't sugar coat anything I just said 40% infertility is the male you need to get checked because I have never taken bc or used protection with him and we have only had ONE child of the many years we have been together lol
