Good idea: Men with 47 chromosomes - 22 regular pairs plus 2 xs and a y - have klinefelter syndrome. You can get good information on the internet at the genetics home reference. Your first ally should be your primary care provider, but an endocrinologist will be very helpful. Most men benefit from hormone testing and treatment. See a clinical geneticist to understand what happened and what else you can do.

Congratulations: The two of you have one another and clearly have a successful and loving relationship. It's good to know -- if you want to be the father of his children, it may still be possible with today's technology. And it may be good to give him some supplements to protect his bones when he gets older. Especially, I hope that knowing the truth will reaffirm your love for one another. Best wishes.
