Has anybody had experience with male infertility secondary to diabetes?

My fiance and I have been trying to get pregnant for 12 months with no luck. He has type 1 diabetes that is poorly controlled. My Dr. said she has never heard of diabetes having anything to do with infertility, but plans to read more on the subject. Has anyone had personal experiences? Thanks!
It is poorly controlled. Yes I am aware this can cause kidney damage, amputation, etc. I’m a nurse in the operating room, TRUST me, I see this! This would in no change my mind about marrying him.. thanks though.

Will long-term use of the birth control pill cause any infertility?

I am wondering this because I have heard that long term use of the pill can sometimes alter the chemicals in your body and cause infertility or sterility. I know that when your on the pill, the hormones in the pill keep you from ovulating so you dont get pregnant. One of my nursing instructors was saying that long term use could cause this to happen indefinitely. I am worried because I have been on the pill for 6 years and I am getting married soon and would like to have children in a few years. Has anyone ever heard of this happening to someone they know that used the pill for a long time? Should I stop taking the pill and use something else?

Will using lubricants while not conceiving cause infertility later?

My boyfriend and I would like to try lubricants because I get tiny abdominal soreness every once in a while because it is very dry down there :p We plan to have children later after marriage and so forth, but we hear that lubricants like KY (which we are interested in) can cause infertility. Is that JUST if you were trying to conceive or is it ok to use until we are ready to try for conceiving in a few years? Sorry if that sound like i’m stupid, I’m just so confused!

I had major depression as a teenager, for about six years. I don’t have it anymore, but would the depression then cause infertility issues now. I have heard that, of course, depression messes up your body because of all the stress. Please list if you have had these issues and maybe visited a doctor and they told you something about this.

Can the cessation of periods cause infertility?

If a teen girl has had periods before, but they’ve suddenly stopped, and now she takes birth control pills to continue having them, can this cause infertility?
The reason the periods stopped is due to sudden weight loss. The weight loss was caused by an eating disorder which could not be technically classified as a "disorder" but it contained the same types of mindsets.
