I am 29 and my husband is 7 years older than me. We've been trying to get pregnant for almost a year and nothing has happened. I have been religiously calendaring my cycle. I even made sure to start having sex on the 10th day (instead of the 13th) from the last day of my menstrual cycle (my doctor told me that sperms lives up to 24 hours and that starting a day or two early helps). I've gotten so frustrated with the situation, I went and paid a lot of money for this computerized stick to urinate on just so I would know for sure when I am ovulating.

Two months have passed and still no baby on the way. I am starting to have a slight suspicion that maybe my husband's sperm count may be low. My doctor suggested that he comes in to do a few tests. To tell you the truth, I am quite nervous telling my husband this. I don't know how he will handle it. After all, he is older and I hear that sperm count does decrease just as the egg is not as fertile.

Does anyone have a suggestion and could I be doing something wrong?
