Hi Pink

Glad your appt went so well. The genetic tests will be to see if he is a cystic fibrosis carrier, to check for Y chromosome micro-deletion and also a karyotype test

Welcome to the thread!

 

[Pink Lolly]

Hi Mrs V - you are very welcome here. What's your story? X

 

[Mrs. V]

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies! You're all so friendly.
I must be at the right thread at last!

Well, this is my story.....in short:

My DH has always had a low everything, so we had to to ICSI in December as this was our
only chance at conceiving. Our FS knew all our history but skipped testing my DH's hormone tests, as which we discovered he has extremely low FSH. His FSH just got less and less for some reason. If there's no FSH, then sperm production stops completely. This was only discovered on the day of my ER and after two sperm samples and an emergency TESE. Someone didn't do there homework.....
So, basically alot of money down the drain and we are starting from scratch.
As you see in my signature we are in the process of making spermies. My DH was given a bag of injectable meds, Ovidrel and Menopur. He has just completed week 4 of 8.
I really hope this is going to work...I do have hope.

What I have come to realise is that all tests possible should be done to see what is the cause of azoospermia. I think alot of the causes can be fixed. We just need to keep ourselves updated by surfing the net and looking at symtoms and possible causes. There is so much info out there.

I will post the news if we find sperm in his next SA.

Thanx again for the welcome, looking forward to getting to know you all soon.

Omg Mrs V, how horrendous for you both! I hope your clinic is giving you a free cycle for their blunder.

Yes, I've heard that they can replace the missing FSH & that can completely correct the problem. Hope that happens for your DH.

Keep in touch!!!

 

[Deb111]

Looking forward to hearing how it all works out for you Mrs V. It really does seem like each of our hubby's has different causes for their azoospermia so it's good that we can share the knowledge we have learnt along the way - you never know who might be helped by the info that someone posts

xx

 

[Mrs. V]

I will definitely keep posting, it will be nice to help others too. xxx

Welcome Mrs V! good to here you story, we have also just been diagnosed with low FSH and lh, testosterone and everything else normal. we have an appointment on 17th March with an endocrinologist, who is a specialist in hormones and the systems which secrete them! fingers crossed we should then start on the same injections as your hubby mrs V! have they said what has caused the low FSH is it a problem with the paturity gland? If anyone else is interested in thr whole azoospermia and hormone link have found the entry on wikipedia good although way too much stuff to research now! i am just so thankful we have some really good doctors exploring every single option for us!! the next doctor we see is such a specalist research doctor in his field!!

Hi Amy!

I'm not sure why my DH's FSH is low, but at least is can be corrected. It was something like 0.3 and normal is between 1.5 - 25 (something like that)...not sure, but below the 1.5.
I hope we can go through this journey together and keep eachother updated since we are going through a similar situation. If I may ask, what was your DH's FSH level?

Keep in touch.
