My husband is infertile My husband and I just found out today that there is no sperm in his semen. We have been TTC for…

My husband's sperm count was at 6 mil/ml which is extremely low. It was really hard on him. He felt like he wasn't manly. They took a blood sample and his testosterone levels were very low as well (like 5th percentile for 80 year old men...) I tried encouraging him that it was just a medical issue not an identity issue. He wouldn't really talk about it to anyone else so I just was as supportive as possible. He went on clomid and now I'm pregnant after just a little over 2 months. I'm not sure if it was pure luck or if the medicine significantly increased his sperm. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

Thanks so much for responding Luna, that's helpful. I told him to ask his doc for Clomid, so I hope he can get on it, and they'll be able to find some sperm. They're doing more blood tests tomorrow I guess, but not sure what for. They already know his testosterone level, since that gets checked on a regular basis. I'm just worried he might be totally infertile. But I'm trying not to think like that. Thanks again.

wishing you the best :)

Testosterone injections stop sperm production, get him to the doctor to start him on hcg or clomid to restart the sperm production.

My DH also had a zero sperm count his was due to a blockage though. I have heard that testosterone can low sperm count. I know it's heartbreaking news. Wishing you the best!

Hearing y'alls personal stories really helps. He had his LH and FSH tested today, hoping to get results by Tuesday. I'm really hoping there will be something wrong there that can be fixed with clomid or something similar.
