Q: No Sperm = No Chance of Pregnancy...

My fiance has a rare case of hypothyroidism (problem with thyroid and pituitary gland). He finally got a sperm test done 2 weeks ago and it came back that he has zero sperm. (dr. Was afraid of that). The nurses there told him to not do "anything" 3-4 days before hand, but he waited a little over 5 days. Would that have made a difference? Plus, he said it came out kind of liquidy. Would that have affected the results?

Were getting married in october and obviously dont want kids right now, but eventually we do. Is it possible at all to get pregnant w/out meds, or will we have to use some scientific way to get pregnant?

I doubt they mean he had entirely zilch on his sperm count.
It normally means there is below a certain threshold.
So it may be possible to under go something like ivf and have them carefully monitor his sperm production this will very very likely involve meds of some sort.
This is someting you need to discuss with a doctor who knows your case (as everyone is individual) to see what options are available to you.
Never be afraid to get a second opinion or even a third!

Good luck to you honey

Actually, the drs. Exact words were (verbatim), "your count is really low"...Fiance asked how low..."there isn't anything". Were going to see his endocrinologist next week so were gonna see what he says.

Thanks.
