:thumbsup:. What exactly did you ask the doctor?

How old are you?


And I would love to know what your obvious choice was before making this thread.

What fucking difference does it make how old I am? And the first choice would be asking a doctor, smartass. It's just that seeing that there are sperm banks and fertility clinics, the question is which doctor would you go see. Furthermore, I don't think men would seek the opinion of a doctor until they infer that something is wrong. I would prefer to find out before. IMHO, something as important as having a child requires a plan, and you can never start planning too early.

Went to a urologist today upon recommendation from my general practitioner. It was mostly expressing concern (about 7 months of no success) that something may be wrong with the plumbing. He asked most of the questions... history of near misses, prior medical conditions, any issues with her, when are you having sex, etc.?

Ultimately, while a physical "inspection" of the machinery didn't show anything out of the ordinary, as others have said, there's really only one simple and awkward way to get a good sense of count/mobility. Yes, a urologist's office is not exactly the most romantic of settings... no, I don't want to give any further detail.

But once you've captured and secured the swimmers, it takes literally a minute or two to find out if you've got problems.

Perhaps you should have been clearer with your opening post? I mean no one here can read your mind.

Did they have a good "library" to help?

In your years on this good Earth you've never heard of a fertility test even in passing?

I figured the obvious would be knocking a girl up, but yes a test at the doctor is also obvious.

So you just go to the doctor and ask?

Not just any doctor, it has to be a woman doctor.

I'd describe the "test" in more detail, but there are children on this forum.😉

Just take a sample and put it under a microscope. If they're vigorously swimming and don't appear to have defects like curly tails then your good to go.

Quoted for posterity.

 

[jdini76]

Is it common for a woman to have her period every SIX months?

OK. The first two sentences are about my friend's wife. The last two sentences are about men in general and me in particular. Not sure how people can infer something differently from what is said. Why do I need to hold your hands and/or fill the post with more than what is necessary?

That's the problem she has. Apparently it runs in their family. Her sister has the exact same problem.

Because for the rest of us, getting a "fertility test" is just as obvious as testing it out natural-style. So we are getting confused when you say "non-obvious".

natural = obvious. Isn't that obvious? Didn't realize people were so slow.

Not really. Anyone educated person (and I'm using this quite loosely) would assume a fertility test is the most obvious option for anyone wondering if they are fertile or not.

Two distinct ideas in one paragraph without any sort of disconnect structure makes it one idea, thus the confusion.

My bad, I guess. I never knew fertility tests for men were so common.

How does your mind work? The first two sentences are about her being infertile. The last two is to see how men can find out if they're infertile.

 

[ViviTheMage]

maybe SHE is infertile

lol. Obviously they are correlated by the keyword: infertile. I don't want to boink her. I was just wondering out loud for men who want to know before they plan for kids.

again, 2 distinct issues. One is your friend's wife's problem. Which then got you thinking about your own fertility. It was not made clear, that is all I am saying. Secondly people don't worry about their fertility until a problem such as failure to conceive comes up.
