Welcome! And please post a pic of your test.

I've tried to explain that it's not really fair for me to think we have a chance each month when we don't right now either. He is on meds that are known to cause problems with swimmers, I just need to know if I need to start testing or not.

I think guys are very sensitive about their sperm. Maybe you could get him to do the test if you were to frame it differently? Perhaps say you'd like him to test to see how much (if any) the medicine is harming his sperm? That way, maybe he would not see it as an issue with him?

Same thing here too. I have 3 young boys and they drive me insane sometimes! My hubby just looks at me and says 'and you want another??!' lol!

We have only one, and whenever our son frustrates me, my husband says, "and you want another!"

I'm on day 11 of fertile CM. That is the unusual thing for me (last cycle was 4 days of fertile CM). And since we want to try every "fertile" day, that means we're already quite worn out and I haven't even ovulated. I'm getting cramps today, though, so hopefully it's right around the corner. Please, please, please.

My husband had issues with the SA too. It wasn't that he didn't want to do it he just was uncomfortable with it and nervous about the possible outcomes. Io think sometimes men avoid anything that involves doctors and possible bad news; thats why we live longer. In the end I jsut sat him down and was very straight with him about how I was doing uncomfortable things, like pelvic exams and HSGs and it was his turn to do something for our future child. Luckily he was able to do it at home and drive it over the the doctor's office. Are you able to do that? I hope your hubby comes around soon!
