Hey guys,

So here's a silly question: where can I go in JHB to see if I can have kids or not? Have a sperm count done?

I'm thinking a Urologist (possibly)?

My GF said to go speak to a GP first for a referral but why waste money?

Also, do medical aids cover these types of things?

OK...to spell it out further, we are talking about possibly having kids one day and would like to investigate the possibility thereof

Medfem Fertility Clinic - http://www.medfem.co.za It will cost you a fair bit though, something like R 2,500

You can also try "Sperm Check" - http://www.bouncingbean.co.za/index.php/component/virtuemart/for-him/sperm-check-14-detail?Itemid=0 - This may be a cheaper basic quick check.

Of course....NOT! More want to see what the chances of procreation are.

Why go for testing unless you've tried and it hasn't worked? :confused:

He want's to stop using contraceptives and her too if he's shooting blanks.

I have bad news for you. The odds of you shooting blanks are very very slim ;)

Ah so you basically want to shag without birth control. Why didn't you just say so instead of talking about kids? :p

Get the feeling it could be the African way of making sure your wife and yourself are fertile before you get hitched. Serious business this!

Hahahahaha. No its not. I'm caucasian.

Look guys, We're both in our mid 30s. The topic of getting hitched and starting a family recently came up. She's on birth control which doesnt bother her. But before she decides to go off it, we wanna see how strong my swimmers are, if they even exist. And then try to plan from there.

O so it's a: "You shooting blanks I'm out of here" scenario.

Don't worry like I said, the odds of shooting blanks are very very slim ;)
