The woman is advised to do all sorts of things to improve her chances of conception, but the man is often let off the hook when it comes to making lifestyle changes.

Unless you know from the outset that one or the other of you has reproductive issues, there always comes that time when you begin testing to determine whose &#8220;fault&#8221; it is that [...]]]></description>

Before I ever tried to conceive a baby, I used to watch the TV show Coach. The main characters, Hayden and Christine, tried to have a baby.

		<description><![CDATA[
Testosterone is the male hormone that affects sexual features and development. The amount of testosterone in a man&#8217;s body is controlled by the pituitary gland. If the level is low, then the pituitary gland releases luteinizing hormone (LH), which tells the testicles to make more testosterone. An issue with either the pituitary gland or the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Varicoceles are a common cause of male factor infertility. My husband&#8217;s reduced sperm count was due to a varicocele, and having the varicocele removed solved his fertility woes. (However, since he was still married to an infertile woman, solving his fertility issue still did not result in his conceiving a child.) 
A varicocele is a [...]]]></description>

My husband used to have a low sperm count until he had a varicocele removed. The surgery corrected the problem, and he is now fertile. Unfortunately, since he is still married to an infertile woman, his fertility is not doing him much good. Such is life.
When my husband found out his sperm count was low, [...]]]></description>

Somehow, we managed to trudge through our second holiday season as an infertile couple. January brought a second try at becoming pregnant through an intrauterine insemination (IUI). Unfortunately, my husband&#8217;s sperm count was still much lower than we hoped. For a second time, we did the IUI despite a low sperm count, and for a [...]]]></description>
