My soon to be husband is going to the dr. for a prostate exam (routine) and it was so hard to get him to go. We have been together for 6 years and we both want to have a child but i’m amazed that we have never gotten pregnant in the 6 years….the first 3 was using the pull-out method, then 1 year on the IUD, and the other was refraining during ovulation time. When we first got together we didn’t want to get pregnant…but now i’m 27 and he is 40 and i’m realizing maybe we will have a hard time. He has 2 kids from a previous relationship.

So my question is…i have asked him to have a check up where they do a sperm count..ect…and I am having the same. I do not know what specific dr does this? Can a man get a prostate exam and check his swimmers at the same time?

Thanks.
I mean I’m having my hormone levels checked…lol…not sperm levels…

Men and yeast have something in common: they use the same molecular process to ensure the integrity of their gene pool during reproduction, according to researchers in France.

Scientists and fertility doctors have long tried to figure out what makes a good egg that will produce a healthy embryo. It's a critical to know which eggs isolated from a woman will produce the best embryos and ultimately babies. New research reveals eggs need a tremendous dose of zinc to reach maturity and be ready for fertilization -- a finding that may ultimately help physicians assess the best eggs for fertility treatment.

In one of the first human studies of its kind, researchers have found that urinary concentrations of the controversial chemical Bisphenol A, or BPA, may be related to decreased sperm quality and sperm concentration.

Infertility and Men When men are young and most likely to be fathering children, sperm numbers and semen quality and quantity should be at their peak. As men get older, changes occur in the prostate and surrounding accessory glands which result in decreased semen volume over time. This is normal as men age. Although some people still think of fertility as a “woman’s problem,” up to half of all cas…

Puberty is triggered by pulsatile release of GnRH from specific nerve cells in the the brain. What signals tell these nerve cells to release GnRH in this manner has not been determined, although it has been suggested that hormones associated with good nutritional status (such as IGF-1) have a role. New research has now confirmed that in mice IGF-1 does indeed have a key role in coordinating the timing of puberty onset.
