Post updates here...

Answer

We are at a standstill. After having 2 SA come back with zero sperm, I gave my husband time to process and think about it. He finally came to me last week and we discussed what we should do next. We are thinking that our chances of every conceiving together is slim to none, but he is going to get blood work done and see what the results are. After, he will get genetic testing done. We also discussed getting a second opinion at a different fertility specialist since the one we currently have is a little cold. She says that they don't really do ICSI anymore, which I know is not true. But basically she doesn't think that would ever be an option and we should just go right with a sperm donor. Andddd she doesn't even know the underlying reason for no sperm, so she is just jumping to conclusions and putting ideas in our heads when we don't even have answers yet. We spoke about sperm donors and we both feel weird about it. My husband doesn't feel like he would bond with the baby knowing it's not really his. We also spoke about adoption and for us, it seems to be the route we will take if there is absolutely zero percent chance of finding any sperm. So for now, we wait. 😔

Answer

I took a looooong break from all this because I just couldn't talk about it anymore. But now I have an update! I let my husband take the lead on everything because he is a nurse. We went to a reproductive urologist and he put my husband on anastrozole. Well, after 1 month, his testosterone jumped from mid-200s to 550! I'm so excited, but cautiously because I know this might mean absolutely nothing. But it's a start! He has to take it for 2 more months and then do another SA at the end of Nov to see if there is anything there. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Answer

We have had blood test and genetics back this week and apparently all are normal which is good, they think he is producing sperm just not getting out. Been referred to talk to someone about the extraction and what if they can’t find any so just waiting for that appointment now 🙂
