But OP didn't mention fertility clinics at all, no reason to think they went that route. Lots of folks don't get tested from fear of finding they're impotent/unable.
From one of the OPs first posts :
Basically my wife has announced that she was pregnant with our second child after months of trying. I went to a fertility clinic shortly before that and the results that came back this morning were that I was sterile from birth.
You're apparently seeing a fertility doctor, although to outward appearances, you've already fathered a child.
Presumably your wife is aware that you're going thru a fertility workup, since generally couples get to go through that simultaneously. (I find it hard to believe a woman would risk infidelity when she and her partner were going thru a fertility workup.)
From my understanding, the first thing fertility clinics do, after verifying your insurance, is send the man off for a specimen so they can do a sperm count. Was there ever an issue in the past with a low sperm count?
Another oddity: The couple has been married for 3 years and have one child and another on the way. That does not suggest any problems that would raise alarms even in a case of secondary infertility.
And why would they do a complicated genetic test on him prior to a simple sperm count test? The costs are vastly different...

Curiouser and curiouser...
Doc suspected Klinefelters. That's why I said apparently. He said he'll do more testing to confirm.
It should be. The odds are higher that his wife cheated than having a miracle birth.
You should be able to trust your spouse. I had the UTI from hell that would not go away. Dr kept prescribing anti-biotics at first. Then decided I had some STD. I insisted it wasn't because I've only been with my husband in over a decade. Dr was patronizing and said my SO probably hadn't been faithful. I went ahead with the testing and they came back clean. It was just an unusual strain of UTI that wasn't responding to the first few prescriptions.
At no point did I assume that my husband had slept with someone else and infected me with something. If you trust your spouse, your first assumption just isn't that they cheated on you.
