Low semen analysis

Natalie

Hi, we have been ttc for 2 years with no success. Doctor said semen analysis was lower than average but didn’t tell my husband the result (I’m sure he didn’t ask either). Am I the only one that finds it difficult talking about this subject with their partner? It’s not me that finds it awkward, it’s him. It’s like it’s affecting his “manhood” or something. We are still awaiting our appointment at the fertility clinic so still lots of tests and options hopefully. Has anyone else been through the same thing and how do you support your partner when they just shut down? He won’t talk about it. I’m 34, he’s 37. Help
