My wife and I have been trying to conceive for over a year. I was tested for fertility in May and have had zero sperm count in 4 tests over this summer.
Began seeing a well-regarded urologist in May 2021. Hormone values all came in normal except FH was 16. Test 800 on clomid natty; prior natural test in the 500-600 range. Genetics testing came back without issue. Age 39, pretty active and otherwise healthy, BMI 25.
Prescribed Clomid 25mg everyday for 6 months leading into MicroTese surgery last month. The MicroTese was unsuccessful, no sperm found in testes : (
My background. Sustanon and Test user 2008-2010. 3 cycles of tren in 2009-2010.
HGH in 2010.
Always pct. In 2014 used arimidex for about a year to cure gyno. Helped but ultimately did surgery for that.
My wife and I have moved on from hopes of having a biological child. Our most likely path will be donor sperm from shared-dna relative. Life has been good to us so far, and we’re grateful for what we have. I was pretty worried the azoospermia was initially cancer.
In parallel path, I am planning on trying HMG, HCG, Clomid just to have closure on this issue. Any recommendations would be helpful.
My biopsy info below.
