It is this reason I am writing as I am a Male with 100% infertility. That's to say I cannot father a child bearing my wife and I childless.
I was diagnosed with Azoospermia with Normal chromosomes, no abnormalities found.
Sexually low average, as I suffer from Left temporal lobe epilepsy since birth (40 on 18th August) caused by a benign tumour that was resected 8 years ago.
There is evidence to suggest either one or both factors- medicine and also how my seizures affect my body is a cause for this.
It was very painful, in summary to discover that even men can suffer from extreme infertility.
I felt I lost my manhood when after having Surgical Sperm Removal or Otessa, no tissue in my testes showed any sperm at all.
I had a consultation Privately in the UK where I live and was told it could be "maturation arrest" where I have stopped making sperm.
I got married at 27 and went through puberty at 10 that in the 17 years post puberty to marriage, I most likely lost all my sperm.
It was difficult and traumatizing for my wife who was desperate for a baby and me seeing many women pregnant and hearing of Male friends and family members becoming father's.
We have come to terms with it, but the sad thing is, my own sister who had a boy and a girl had the audacity to tell my wife if she would be capable of carrying a baby.
The size of a mother doesn't matter and I know of women that are of a small frame and conceived twins.
Finally, when my nephew was newly born my wife and I were treated like strangers and unwittingly shunned us away, despite knowing that we were having problems conceiving.
We now look at the positive side by taking advantage of our own company, but worry who will visit us when we are dead. From my understanding, those that have children do get more priority by the government than those without, due to expenses borne to raise children.
One consolation is that my brother in laws wife ( my wifes brother) allows my Wife and I to enjoy the company to our pleasure when we visit them.
One is 5 years the other is 1 and very fond of them.
