Can Klinefelter's Syndrome Cause Infertility In Men?

Hi, my partner has Kleinfelters syndrome, and has had infertility tests to be told that he can't have children. Despite this, i still take the contreceptive pill, and i was wondering if you think there is a lot of risk if I stop taking the pill that I could become pregnant? Even though he has been told he cant have children, im worried that there could be a chance. I hate taking the pill because it makes me feel very sluggish, and i have put on weight and it has stopped my period entirely for the 6 months that i have been taking it. I am also doing a degree, and dont want to get pregnant! Not sure what to do!

Yes, Klinefelter patients have infertility issue, but there is a tiny 1% chance, so it's better to for a sperm test and conform till than you can use a condom.
