Partner worried about tests as unable to ejaculate

Has anyone else had an issue with this? We're 14 months trying... my partner has a 4 year old, but I still think his sperm will need to be tested. He is unable to ejaculate by himself (has no issue during sex). Is there another way they can test?

You can get special condoms where you can provide a sample through intercourse, ask your clinic, they may allow this to happen on site or more likely you may be able to produce at home providing you can get the sample to the clinic quickly (usually 45-60 mins after production)

Ah really! That's so useful isn't it! Hopefully we'll be able to do that 🤞🏼

They are called Male Factor Paks, some patients use them if they aren't permitted to masturbate, definitely speak to your clinic as it's quite a common concern. Good luck
