Why can't I give my wife a child?!

Well here goes, pretty much I have low testosterone, so that equals low sperm count. I may be losing it, I want to be able to give my wife a child, but I can't...My mother in law says that "if you can ejaculate, you can impregnate because you have sperm." My wife also believes that, but I don't think that's the case, I think it's a bit more complex. I haven't actually tested it yet, but I'm afraid to because I know what my doctors had said before about my low testosterone (which I've been taking those infernal patches for) and the possibility that I wouldn't be able to have children. My wife and I haven't been having safe sex when we make love, and we've done that just about every day of our marriage, the surprising thing is, we always keep thinking her period will be missed because it seems to be a few days late, but then it hits. My stepmother says when you start getting active, periods become irregular, so that's probably it...I'm just really pissed with myself and I know I should get a sperm test, but I don't really want to hear what I am pretty sure I already know...why can't I give her a child? She has told me it's no problem for her, I'm happy about that, so I'm not worried at all about her leaving me because of it, thank god. However I'm still angry with myself...Why couldn't I be born without problems like these?!

I am sorry for your frustration. I can empathize...my DH is having the same issues.My own mother is driving me crazy with her "suggestions" and I wish I never told her we were having difficulties. Go get tested! Then at least you know what you're dealing with--it could be something simple. Keep in mind that it takes 3 months for any improvements, and be easy on yourself. Stress doesn't help the sperm. It sounds like you have a good relationship, and maybe you two need to focus on each other and tune out the negative messages. You don't know if/what is a problem, yet...try the test. Best wishes!

I agree with Lumiere74..... you need to be tested as well as your wife. It could be one or the other or both like in my situation. But please don't loose hope... it could be something easily treated and if not there are many many forms of help out there to help you have a child. My Dh and I went through many testing which guided us to the right docs.... we are now pregnant so don't think it can't happen even with the biggest obstacles to overcome!!!
Best of luck!!

I also suggest getting tested. Dh and I were having difficulties getting pregnant. He had low sperm count (1 million) he had surgery and now his sperm count is 60 million. If he didn't get tested we would have had many more years of struggling when all along it was the correction of a simple surgery. We know have two beautiful children
