Male fertility worksheet
Getting pregnant can be difficult!

Go to any doctors appointments together!
Bring copies of your health records to your visit and have copies sent to your doctor ahead of time to avoid the hassle and expense of duplicating medical tests. Expect to be asked about your sexual history, whether you've ever had any sexually transmitted infections, how often you make love, and more. Not much about your private life will be private anymore, so you'll want to feel comfortable with your doctor.

Print this worksheet, fill it out, and give to your doctor.
