Marrying while...

no, neither of us had a clue:bummer: Our marraige was based on a great understanding of minds, respect and love, and had i known that i had PCOS at the time, i certianly would not have kept it a secret, and i can confidently say that i don’t think he would have changed his mind at that time.

Great example and some lesson for many. :slight_smile:

PCOS??

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

Read about it, if interested.

It is one cause of infertility in women but not something which causes absolute infertility. Meaning, it can be treated in some cases and pregnancy can occur. Also, women with this condition may not know if they cannot conceive. They may have irregular periods though.

The man I talked about unfortunately had absolute infertility. He had "Undecended testes". Meaning his testes never came down to where they belong, since his birth. He should have known this prior to marrying.

Re: Marrying while...

There are some misconceptions in this thread about male infertility. Erectile dysfunction is a completely different thing than infertility. ED is the inability to complete the act successfully. Infertility is the absence of viable sperm. Men with ED may very well produce viable sperm and men with infertility may very well be able to "do it".

I think that the majority of those who suffer infertility are unaware of the issue until pregnancy is attemped unsuccessfully. Then there are some who have a hint that it may be a problem - such as those who have PCOS. There are relatively very few who know for sure that they are infertile prior to marriage. Those who are aware of infertility for sure need to 'fess up before marriage.

Absolutely! There is difference between 'impotency' and 'infertility'.

i thought all o us knew that by now
