Women, it seems, can't stop talking about fertility issues. Thousands of Web sites, groups and forums exist for women to discuss conception problems. But a quick Google search reveals few comparable resources for men to discuss the same subject, even though male infertility plays a role in about half of all infertility cases (about 15 percent of couples have difficulty conceiving).
But experts say that male infertility is surrounded by more social stigma, making it difficult for men to openly discuss or seek treatment. Even when a man seeks help, doctors say it's more difficult to diagnose and treat male infertility because the causes are often unapparent, tied to a particular enzyme or protein rather than an obvious anatomical problem.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
