My husband was diagnosed with a zero sperm count. We really want a baby. Can this diagnosis be reversed, with meds or something else other than surgery that's not going to take a morgage on our house???

My son in law has been tested and found he has zero sperm, but, he had testicular cancer about six years ago, he had one removed and also lymp glads removed in his belly, the doctor is sending him to a fertility specialist at U of M and see if he has a blockage, my daughters also found out she's ok and ovulating, I hope and pray they will be able to have a baby of their own, not only is this devistaing for them it hit the couples parents as well. Plfor the pray for them

Hi 1st time poster on here. What brought me here was searching about zero sperm count. I've been with my wife for 3yrs and married for 1. I'm turning 32 in 4 months. We've been trying to have a baby with no success. We went to her obgyn who wanted to do some tests. He had her come in today 4hrs after we had sex to run the tests. He said he found 0 sperm count. When she came back to me with the news I've been devastated. I've apologized to her because I just feel horrible and don't know why this is. He wants further testing to be done. While both of us doing research I couldn't help but think will she even want to remain married to me. I know how much both of us want a baby and she's really been pushing for us to have 1 soon. She has a 13 yr old son from a previous relationship who I've taken on the role as dad to. I couldn't help but ask her if it turns out I can't give us children where does our relationship stand? She was reluctant and eventually told me she doesn't know how to answer that. I asked her if there is a chance of us getting a divorce. She said there's always a chance in any marriage of a divorce. Now we've had our ups and down and some 1st yr struggles including with passion. Our schedules are conflicting and and we have alot of otger stresses at the moment. So us having passionate sex isn't always in the cards. Throughout all this though, she hashad a positive outlook on our relationship and always said we can het through it all. Now it seems her outlook has changed. As if the original news wasn't bad enough, I just feel crushed. She told me why did I ask her if I didn't want the answer. I did want it, I just didn't expect that. She said well if we can't have children she doesn't know if this is going to get any better. Also stating that we have gone through all the tests and options though so let's see what happens. My question is,is it normal for the woman to feel this way on her end of this issue? Also, I feel conflicted because if she can't stay with me regardless, what kind of person am I with? Am I wrong for thinking that? I've taken on the role of father to her son and when we thought we weren't getting pregnant because of her, leaving her because of it wasn't a thoughy that even crossed mind. This has been 1 of the worst days of my life and I can't even turn to her about it right now. Any answers or advice would be greatly appreciated.

My husband of 9yrs found out last yr that he has no sperm count. His "T" levals were way below norm, so dr put him on clomed to help with both. His "T" leval went up, but very slowly!!! Now on the very low part of norm, but still no sperm count. Since then he is still on clomed & has seen a urologist the has some training in fertility. We were told that there is a shot that has hormones that can sometime restart the testicals (sperm), & he was 1 of the dr that did that. Were went to him a couple weeks ago & that dr told us my hubby has got NOTHING (bluntly)! He said he was not even close to being a person he wld recommend for that. He told us my hubby wld need to come back for a ultrasound to check for blockage (cyst) that cld b blocking the sperm. We did that & it was 100% norm. That dr told us he wants us to go to a fertlity dr (which has can't get us in b4 dec...3months out). The dr that did the ultrasound told us we shld consider adoption or sargent. I have so many def thoughts going they my head it's crazy! My inlaws have nvr talked to my hubby about possibly having something wrong. With that said we are very private people! No1 in our families know anything about this, other then some questions we needed to get answered for family history from his mom & dad. But they are very limited to what we tell them, due to some family disagreement & judgment. So here is a list of things we know from his family...

On his moms side...

She was born with HR factor blood. The yr she was born was the 1st yr they came out with the vaccine for this. From my understanding...it's where (if she can get prego) the babies blood & her blood attack each other & so she had to get shots during her pregnancies. Norm. They give small amounts militants times throught the 9months, but in this case she was given 2 very large amounts during the 9months...what my hubby has said is that in doing so, it can have lasting affects on the baby...such as infertlity.

Some of my hubby's cousins have had muiltable miscarriages & yet had babies....these having RH factor.

His mom & sisters have a blood clot disorder & each have has muiltable surgeries for this prob on the legs.

His moms family (bros & sis's) are tall people. Womens 6foot & guys 6.5-6.6foot...14 kids in total

Weight problems...but very active people!


My hubby's dad's side...

He also has blood clot problems (nt the same as mother)

Very low sperm count when they were trying for kids...took 5yrs for 1st child

He has 2 bros & 1 sis...

Hubby's uncle (dads bro) was nt able to have kids (nt 100% sure that was him or his wife), but they had to adopt

Hubby's cousin on dad's side had problems getting prego with 1st child (nt sure the details there)

Bottom line...dr says it cld just be the end of this family tree
We have been married 9yrs together 12yrs & stopped using birthcontrol 6months into marrage...we r both 29

Iv always considered adoption, but my hubby has nvr wanted that! He always wanted his own child. He is the last to carry the name!
But it seems we mayn't have to many options at this point. It's completely deferent when it's nt just that "an option" to adoption & rather feeling pushed into it. Now, I'm feeling like I'll be missing out on the 9months of carring my hubby's baby & feeling all the natural emotion that goes into that. And hearing so many stories of adoption & yet the birth mothers still has rights to take the child back X amount of days/months/years after you get the baby, is something I truly don't think I cld handle! My hubby has mentioned sperm donation...that thought ran thru me like fingurnails on a chalkboard!! I felt sick to my stomach when he said that! I know it kills him to even go there!! After thinking more about it, I still NO WAY cld ever "meet up with" another guy to carry his baby!!! But, I did take a minute to look it up...my stomach turns at the look of some of the guys...nothing against guys!!! It really is no def the a women donating her egg...but the thought that some guys get turned on by "planting their seed" turns my insides out! Yet I know their r truly guys out there that just want to help people such as us, & I'm sooo greatful for that! I guess I'm just so messed up & feeling the "time crunch", yet "inpatient", "let down" etc all at the same time. On the subject of sperm donation (being placed in me by a dr)...I cnt help but wonder if this is asking for marrage trouble down the road? Idk maybe always knowing the baby is nt my hubby's baby & this eating away at him? Yes, even if a dr did it. As iv said we do nt talk to family about this...maybe a couple close friends...so, idk if it wld b possible or asking to much (if we did sperm donation) to nt ever let anyone know that it wasn't my hubby's...if my hubby is the 1 that brought the subject up, does that mean it's ok & he is ok with it even in the long run?

I must repeat we still have not gone to a fertility specialist yet...we have an appt for dec 3month out...but we have had 2 dr already tell us we shld consider adoption...1 being a urologist with some fertility training.

This is my 1st time posting & using something like this, so I hope I did it right :)
