Were any of your husband's afraid to go get tested for infertility??

Well, my husband was actually afraid to go get his sperm examined he postponed his appointment for about five times until I told him that he shouldn't be be afraid to go that either way I love him and that I would love him the same if it was him the one with the problem. He got the courage to finally go and everything was fine with him. But yeah, it took a little bit of persuation on my part to get him get tested.

My husband was terrified and tried everything he could think of to get out of it. It took a lot of convincing, but he finally went and there were no issues with his sperm. I think it's a very scary thing for men, but reminding him that this was nothing compared with everything I had and would have to endure during this whole experience really helped.

My DH was really nervous. When we went to the clinic , I went in the room to help. He must have paced the floor for 10mins before he'd sit down. lol...

But his results came back great! 150mil and 67% motility. After was wash he was 189mil and 90% motility. Dr was really pleased with that.

Not terrified, but he didn't want to do it. Our hospital didn't have rooms for the men, so we had to do it at home, then I had to drive to the hospital, keeping the sample warm, as fast as possible. I was worried that I wasn't keeping it warm enough. It was a big relief that the results were good, and I'm glad that we didn't have to repeat it.

Thanks for sharing girls!!

jajajajajaja I thought my husband was the only one who was having this issue. Seriously he postponed his appointme like 5 times. Man they never want to go to the doctor as it is, I just kind of understood where his concerns were coming from. He kept telling me "what if they tell me it is me the one with the problem, would you leave me, are you still going to love me?" I kind of wanted to slap him when he said that but I assured him he shouldn't be afraid to get tested. You should have seem his face when they told him he good. Anyways thanks for sharing girls!
