My husband and I have been TTC for almost two years now. About 10 months ago we saw a fertility specialist who determined my husband had zoospermia (complete absence of sperm in ejaculation).

The first step in our process is for him to have a micro surgical sperm aspiration to determine if he has sperm pockets in the testicles or not. If he does, the doctor will retrieve and then we can start the <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> process. If not, then we begin discussing other options - sperm adoption, embryo adoption, or adoption.

I would like insight from others who have experienced this. Our insurance does not cover any of the cost of the sperm aspiration or <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, which you all know is extremely expensive. The sperm aspiration will cost us about $6,000. And then adding the potential cost of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. For those of you that have done this how did you make the decision to move forward and spend that amount of money knowing there was a high chance there was not viable sperm? Did any of you find a clinical trial for zoospermia that included the sperm aspiration? What advise can you give?
