It takes two to make a baby, and while it's, of course, the woman who bears the brunt of the hard part, it could very well be your partner who's preventing your pregnancy. Male infertility is caused by low sperm production, misshapen or immobile sperm, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm, according to the Mayo Clinic.
What to Do: If you think that your significant other may be the one with the issue (and there's really no way of knowing unless you've ruled out other possibilities), have him pay a visit to his internist or urologist. Keep in mind that while the emotional impact of not being able to get pregnant is most frequently associated with women, it takes a toll on men, too. If his doctor discovers that he's the one with the problem, be supportive, encouraging, and positive. There are treatments available, and you can get past this.
