Is anyone going through this with a partner who has had surgery for undescended testicles?
Last night OH finally told me that he had surgery as kid because his testicles didn't descend. We've been together for 4 years and ttc for most of those. We've not gone down the route of Doctors and fertility experts because we were living on a hope and prayer that we'd catch... one day.
OH has no idea of the impact that this has on his fertility - he just thinks that he had surgery and that's that. He is so sensitive and ashamed about going through this procedure that I havent got the heart to discuss the impact it has.
I always thought that I was the one with the fertility problem. I am a larger girl and just assumed it was me.... Hey, it may still be.
But this changes the way we approach this, and I guess it's the end of an era because as of today I have to accept that there won't be a happy little accident... And if we want this, then we've got to get a doctor involved.
Just needed to get this off my chest, because there's no one I can talk to about this right now .
