How do I talk to my man about going to the doctor to see if his sperm count is low or to see if he is sterile?

Hi,

First of all, does your bf/dh want a baby too? If so, and you have been trying for a long time, then he probably suspects it could be a low sperm count. Also, have you had yourself checked out to make sure that everything is a go with your body? How long has it been since you stopped birth control?

Do you two discuss other problems in your life? If so, then this topic has to be brought up as something you both need to check. Don't be confrontational and accuse him of anything. This subject tends to give men low self-esteem, so tread lightly and make it a joint effort. Tell him you'll accompany him to the doctor and generally make it easy for him.

Importantly, don't mention the word "sterile" to him in your discussion because it has a very bad connotation to most men.
