Hi there,
I am new to this site and am looking for some help understanding. I couldn't figure out how to create my own question forum, so if this isn't allowed here I'm sorry and I would appreciate someone explaining to me how I can do this. My partner has crohn's and we are having trouble conceiving. We have been trying for 10 months now with no luck. I have heard that crohn's disease can lower a male's sperm count. Unfortunately my partner and I seem to be at odds over this. He refuses to get checked out. We both want kids, and sometimes he says he will make a doctors appointment, but never actually does. Every month when I find out it didn't happen, I'm crushed. It's getting to the point where I don't even believe him any more when he says he will. I understand that men can be sensitive to any fertility issues, but I honestly don't know what to say anymore. I was hoping that if there are any other males on this site who are going through the same thing, that maybe they could give me some insight as to why he is just closing up on something we both want. Also, if anyone else has overcome this issue -how did you do it? Is there anything else we could try that isn't a doctors? Different vitamins, something, anything?
Thank you in advance.
Warmly,
Baker Girl
