How to ask my husband to have his sperm count checked

Abana

It depends on how you know your hubby's personality. You're the only one who could decide on which approach is best for him. If you're both open to each other then I think telling him directly won't be a biggie. If you think he's not that good in confrontation then Halia's suggestion could work. Good luck.

Hey Fanny, what do you think happens if you go straight to your hubby, tell him to exhaust all options of the two of you getting checked, emphasizing that his sperm count may also be checked? Do you think he'd get angry or defensive?

Abana

I agree with Cadelaria. I guess what she suggested is the "way or method" of doing what I've previously suggested so there...

Fanny

Thanks for those helpful replies ladies! Haven't done it as of yet but will do when I find the right strategy.

Fanny

Knowing my hubby as a very understanding and loving man, I think he won't get mad at me. It's just we haven't talked about a topic as sensitive as potency and such so it's actually me who feels uncomfortable suggesting him to get checked too. I don't know...

You sound as if it won't be a biggie if you discuss this sensitive topic with him. An open communication is a great way of speeding up your getting pregnant so I think now is the best time for you to talk about this. Good luck hun!

Abana

Oh come on Fanny, you can do it! Approach him in a way you think he won't get offended and go from there. You need to do this now if you feel like this is another option of getting pregnant ASAP.

Halia

Or perhaps try to discuss this issue with him in a passionate, romantic and gentle way. I'm sure he'd listen... Then go from there...

Fanny

You all are amazing! Thank you for your comments as they've helped me one way or another. To update you lovelies, I haven't talked about it with my husband as we're currently concentrating on my HSG and Laparoscopy. But I will definitely do so after the procedure. Cheers!

Great to hear that you're gonna have that procedure this month. Hope everything turns out just fine for you and your hubby. Good luck and hope you're not getting the jitters now that it's fast approaching. Take care hun!
