Hi, I'm 19/f && my boyfriend is 19/m
We've been together for about 2 years now;
Before anyone judges, I'M NOT TRYING TO GET PREGNANT; I'M JUST CURIOUS FOR FUTURE REFERENCES.
Welp, when my boyfriend was born, his testicles didn't drop. One was stuck in his stomach or something and he basically had to have surgery; so he only has ONE testicle;
Can he have children? It may be a stupid question; but I've been thinking about my future alot, and I'd really like to have a family once I'm out of college and have a stable job.
Now, another question about me;
My Aunt- Mom's Sister- isn't able to get pregnant; not too sure why; I think it was some type of cancer; idk; but she WILL never be able to have kids;
I'm just wondering if that will affect me any? Im sure it would be easier to answwer if I could tell you what exactly was wrong with her in order not to have children;
But I just feel like with my boyfriends problem & than maybe hereditary issues; we may not be able to have the family I always dreamed of;
so any knowledge, would be great. (link)

Hello,
Your aunt may have had ovarian cancer. One of the most effective ways to treat it, is to remove the ovaries. Because ovaries are needed to make children, someone who has them removed is unable to have babies. Ovarian cancer can be hereditary. Fortunately, you can go to your doctor, and can usually have a test done if someone in your family has had it before.
In regards to your boyfriend, only one testicle is needed to create sperm, i.e. both testicles create millions of sperm cells. Only one of these sperm cells is needed to fertilize an egg. So pregnancy is still possible.
The best option is you get tests done. Men can get sperm fertility tests done, and women can get similar tests also. Just go to see your doctor.
Good luck :)
