Dealing with azoospermia?

[Deb111]

It only takes one. Good luck Deb

There are none ... only 2 were mature; 1 of those didnt survive injecting and the other 1 hasnt fertilised

 

[Jacks10]

Hope you are feeling supported deb, I know you said you planned to have only one more go, so it must feel truly heartbreaking to have it stopped at this stage. We all go through so much sadness on the azoo journey, it's just not fair

Deb I am so sorry.

as for me today my hubby went as they called him for again weighing so he is now 99 before he was 103 . so they said now the doctor may send everything forward for referral and may take further 6 weeks . i waited these last 5 weeks as i thought they have already referred us and waited for appointment letter but now again the wait started from the scratch

Well first they said that hubby is slightly overweight so he must reduced beloew 100 which he did. But in previous appointment when they filled the forms everything so they said we will refer you to Sheffield and you guys will get an appointment within 6 weeks so I waited and its been 5 weeks last monday . Then last week my hubby got a call that come to hospital for checking weight again so he is 99 on digital scale and on other scales in home he is round about 95 kg. I dont know why hospital scales shows higher than others. Then yesterday said that now we will decide to refer you to Sheffield so you guys may hear within 6 weeks from us. They should have told us before all this one said the weight is okay other says no its not due to which we didnt send I dont know why.

so annoying when they mess with you by changing their answers. Might as well get it all in writing in case you have to fight them later.

 

[MoBaby]

Tulip that is truly annoying! They are not strict with weight limits here in the us which is good and bad....There is a huge obesity problem in US so if there were limits I imagine they would be doing way less IVF. My DH is overweight (127 kg but 6'5) and he has no motivation to lose weight so if we had restrictions on weight we would never get to do IVF. Hopefully its all sorted out soon.

OH went for his consultation today, he has to get his FSH levels test and genetic testing, turns out he has an Inguinal Hernia and has to get that pain relieved first, if FSH is level 10 doctor wont do a biopsy. Also testicles are smaller than normal and are different sizes. Has anyone ever heard of this? If the FSH is high we need to consider donor sperm.

Ok so just joining this group and I am very thankful to have found it. In a nutshell here is my story.

My husband and I concevieed naturally within 6 months of going off birth control in 2008. We were trying for our second in 2010 and after a year of ttc I spoke with my dr. She recommended my husband be checked first since his would be less invasive. His sa came back with 0 sperm. This was a blow so they said he should wait three months and get checked again. Second one was the same. We meet with a urologist and it was discovered my husband has a small pituitary tumor. He went on meds it shrunk but sperm is still at 0. We have been to two different fertility clinics but first one was not interested in exploring why and just wanted us to use ds and my husband was not open to that option. At second clinic dr had been great. He has wanted to figure out what is going on. My DH had two seperate procedures done that show he has active spermatozoa and no blockage. That urologist could not give us a reason on why sperm is not coming out. After a two year break, we went through IVF 11/12 and have 13 eggs frozen, we are now trying again. During our break an old college girlfriend contacted my husband and informed him that she believes her 13 year old son is his. After DNA it was confirmed that my husband fathered her child. This has left both our fertility dr and Us perplexed as to what happened to MY husband. We have found a urologist that specializes in male infertility and is very confident that he will find sperm to use for icsi during a TeSA procedure. We are now doing a timed mini stim cycle so that they can control ovulation and time my husbands procedure for day before. I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has been in a similar situation and has anyone had succes with TeSA. When my husband provides samples they on occasion have found one or two sperm. Recently they have found sperm but it isnt moving. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but would love to hear success stories or if anyone has been in a similar situation.

 

[deafgal01]

Wow. Sorry to hear you found yourself in same boat as rest of us but i am glad they are trying to figure out what happened, especially since he was capable of doing it before and actually having a kid with his genes out there.

I don't have success story or anything for you but several ladies here have success stories either using their spouse's sperm from tese. Some have had donors help get their babies.

I seen that your husbands results had high prolactin. Did they check to see if he had a pituitary tumor? My husband had a slightly raised prolactin level and was found to have a small pituitary tumor. Unfortunately the medication did not help for my husband.

 

[deafgal01]

No they didn't check for tumors or anything. They only explored to see if it was a blockage issue. We didn't push for more tests or exams after that because my husband didn't see the point of going through more than already necessary.

 

[Jacks10]

Deb, how are you doing? Thinking of you still, hope you're ok xxx
arzoo have you had your babes now?

Shazney and trying, hope you're both managing ok. Trying I don't know much aboit about pituitary tumours sorry but fingers crossed you get some sperm from the tesa. If dh has fathered child before then you are starting from a good position, stay positive!

How is everyone else? Xxx

Just now seeing this. I am sorry you're going through this. We went through a similar issue with our clinic when we were doing IVF. They apparently adopted a new policy regarding weight limits and sedation and anesthesia after we'd started going to the clinic and I found out a few weeks before our cycle was supposed to start. I was lucky to get my weight down, but it was close. DH wasn't close and if they had needed to do a TESE on him, he would have only gotten local numbing and no sedation. I can't imagine how painful that would have been. We got really like that he had enough swimmers on the day of ER.

Finally relieved after a long wait still gonna wait for 1 month .
today we got an appointment letter with lots of forms , at jessopfertility Sheffield.**
Now dont know whether on same day after assessment they will gonna proceed for SSR or again will send another letter.
but I was thinking it would be only for my husband but along with him they mentioned my name as well. They said fill one form which has to be send back before appointment.
