TTC2 - but fundamental one problem

Have one DD, but want to have another child. However we have a fundamental problem of DH's complete inability to produce anything. Goes up, goes like a jackhammer, but nowt comes out. I've got to the stage of screaming at him to go to the doctor - apparently that is too embarassing. Anyone else had this problem and what can I do. Other than get a new husband!

I have namechanged for rather obvious reasons.......but I need a plan as it is causing major stresses in our marriage. He's put alot of weight on, over last 2 years, but stress levels probably have gone down.

He has to go to the dr. There is no other solution!

I agree! In the meantime, would it be worth speaking to your own dr for some advice?

Might do - on the farm we get tups (male sheep) to produce the necessaries with the help of an AI man, pinning them down and an electric shock probe. Yep, I'm desperate. Grin

Thing is if I knew what the doctor might be able to do, or someone who had been successful, then it might be easier to encourage force him to go without literally putting a gun to his head IYSWIM. I've suggested counselling which didn't go down well either.

Or is it life and just a problem you are stuck with........

I guess what the doctor would do depends. Is he reaching orgasm but not ejaculating or can he not orgasm either?
It's not just a problem you are stuck with but if you want to get pregnant then obviously he's going to have to get over the embarrassment. You could point out that having your DD wasn't the most dignified experience of your life either!
Perhaps some Dr Google about the subject might persuade him that going to the doctors will be ok.

Did he have this problem before you started trying to conceive or is it a recent occurence? Could you try not trying not preventing for a while to take the pressure off him to produce the goods?

Does he reach orgasm? If he does then he NEEDS to see someone about retrograde ejaculation. If he just can't get there it could be something in his mind preventing him, such as not being sure about another baby.
