my husband and i have been trying to conceive for almost 2 years. he has had two hernia ops. one when he was quite young, and the other a few years ago. i just wanted to know the chance of this affecting our ability to have children, and when is the most appropriate time to go to our gp?? should we go together and mention this?? my periods are always regular and we try to make love when i am most fertile. thanks in advance.
