husband's analysis shows no sperm Posted: 02-05-08 09:58am
I am just wondering if anyone out there
has had luck with treatment for no sperm
and able to eventually do an ivf? My
husband is undergoing blood tests for
possible genetics issues and he had an
ultrasound done as well. We get the
results back for all the tests feb 13th
but we already know there's problems. Just
want to know if anyone else is going
through this no sperm issue? It would give
us some hope if I knew someone out there
has had success with an ivf. I know the
science and medicine are awesome these
days and we're hoping there's a light at
the end of the tunnel.

Hi there Posted: 02-05-08 17:14pm
I am going through something similar and I
feel your pain. My husband was just
diagnosed with obstructive azoospermia
(spelling) or somethimg like that. Did
they say your husband is producing sperm?
They can tell if everything seems normal
from the blood tests.
Mine has a blockage and there is no sperm
present in any samples. He's gone through
the blood testing and everything is fine,
no genetic issues. We are meeting with an
IVF doctor in 3 weeks to discuss our
options.
They tell us they can try to repair the
blockage and look for sperm in the testes
and do an IVF/ICSI at the same time,
otherwise, if the blockage cannot be
repaired we're looking at donors.
A light at the end of the tunnel right
about now would be nice..

My husband and I went through the same
thing. He was born without a "vas". So
pretty much the sperm were trapped in the
testicles with no way of getting out. We
decided to try IVF....my husband had
surgery to remove sperm from his
testicles. They got 4 vials, then the
clinic picked carefully thru them and got
the healthest looking ones and fertilized
my eggs. I had 4 eggs put in. I got
pregnant, so it can work! Unfortunately
later I misscarried but the is....IT CAN
WORK.
Good Luck!!
