no it's not. infertility is not hereditary. but it depends on what exactly it is that is causing your fertility problem.

you know it's really hard to say if fertility problems can be passed down
but it is possible though because some fertility problems are hereditary.
depending on the underlying causes, those issues can sometimes be
hereditary.

for most part or cases, fertility problems are not hereditary.lifestyle and
environmental factors are some common causes of male infertility.

Infertility in men is as serious as it in women. There are many causes of the problem some of which are hereditary while others are not. However, fertility issues in men are complex and mostly depend on the underlying issues of infertility. Problems such as low sperm count, poor sperm quality are not hereditary but are caused by lifestyle factors. Exposure to harmful chemicals and heavy metals known to cause infertility can be passed to future generations. So it is important that you visit a doctor to determine whether your husband has a heredity problem or not.
