Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Archie..I have another question to ask you..
My husband is 31 years old but he has only 1 testicle. He had an undescended testicle as a child but his parents did not get him operated then...This created a problem for him later..when he was 24..and he had to have an operation done to get the undescended one removed as it had moved up in his body and lodged itself somewhere in his abdomen. I would like to know whether this will affect our chances of having a baby as the doctor had expressed some concern over this issue to him at that time. But he had also said that if one testicle produces enough sperm then it should not be a big deal but this was still a long time back and I would like to know how this will affect my chances of conceiving..Can you just help me out here?? archie replied. Dear Teju,
I am certain that I read this message.
Also I think the girl mentioned that her husband is willing to take semen analysis test.
I did encourage her to forget testing and extrude some trust in him. She agreed. I don't know where is mistake.

The one I pasted to your next thread is also from Teju and not the same message what you are referring here. A little confusion is there.

I think if your spouse is making enough motile sperm with his one testicle would not make difference to yout ttc process would be medical answer.
But from my experience, yes it will take a little longer for you as your spouse is 50% fertile.

Remember to know exact cycle length and try to use OPK and then plan your intercourse to boost chances. Until OPK is positive no intercourse or no masturbation. If all is done accordingly within 6 cycles you should get pregnant. I know OPK for 6 cycles is expensive deal but I can't offer better advise, and it may be that you are lucky and get pregnant right in first OPK cycle.
