OK sorry about this ladies but I would really really appreciate some advice. I am in a bit of a pickle. We have been TTC for 6 months now (both 27, TTC our first) and we have only just started to talk about something that i have been REALLY concerned about for a long time.
When DH was 14, he had a football injury which involved him being kicked in the testicle very hard. Consequently, one of them is (sorry if this is gross) basically not there, it's just skin. DH really really won't talk about it. In fact, we have only talked about it once in the last 10 years, which was the day we first had sex and he told me why it was like it was. I hadn't really thought about it until TTC time. BAsically, do you know/think it could affect our chances? I am fairly convinced it could and when I tried, v gently, to bring it up when AF arrived (again...), he looked like he was going to cry, and said 'do you think that's something I don't think about every single day?' I don't know what to do. I love him so so so much, and don't want to upset him by bringing it up again, and the thought of us not having a baby together makes me cry. I read in a book that testicle damage caused in teenage years can prohibit sperm production permanently and feel so sad. He says he went to the Dr when it happened but he claims not to be able to remember what they said. Please help, I feel so so sad about this and don't know what to do.
