Went to the dr yesterday and he wants my hubby to get his sperm checked. I asked him if his sperm is low what can they do about it. He told me that there are medicines that he can take and also surgery. I don't think my husband would go for surgery. He was already upset when i told him that the dr wanted him to get checked. He told me he didn't want to take medicine that had side effects. We have a soon to be 7 year old and my second baby died last year at birth. My first son we didn't even try. My second son we tried for 5 months and then i went on clomid and got pregnant. We have been trying since January and I've been on clomid for 3 months. I try to stay positive and say to myself that if God wants me to have another baby, he will let me get pregnant no matter what. My husband drives a truck but he his home everynight so we are bedding at the right time. He is getting ready to get off a truck next week. The dr said that with him being a truck driver and sitting all day that is why he wants to get his sperm checked. I'm just a little upset about this all. I feel like my hubby is giving me hard time about it. And how about if he does have a low sperm count and they want to do surgery. I know my hubby is not going to go for that, so then i guess that i want have anymore children. My hubby is just greatful that we have one child so he doesn't really bother him if we can't have anymore. I need everyones prayers and opinions to what to do. Should i leave this all alone and go on with our lives? I mean its all in God's hands anyway. I am just so tired of trying and getting so upset every month while others seem to try one month and get pregnant.

If your husband has viable sperm but just a low count surgery may not be neccessary as long as there are good sperm in the sample. You may need to go to the next step and abandon trying to get pregnant with clomid alone. I would make sure he does the semen analysis and talk to your doctor. If it is low look into IVF. This is what my wife and I are looking at right now. This might give you a couple things to think about, good luck!
