Q: husband's analysis shows no sperm

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
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!!

My husband and I just found out that he is producing no sperm when he ejaculates. We are set to go to the specialist in Jan. Our doctor told us he might have some sperm in his testes, so they could extract it with surgery, otherwise we will need a donor. It is really scary and upsetting!! So I understand how you feel!
