Conception after mumps - another hurdle for us

After our second miscarriage 2.5 years ago, both DP and I managed to catch mumps (it was a shite year for us) .
DP developed a swollen testicle from it (it's fine now) but I'm terrified this will have affected his fertility,

He has only just agreed to TTC again after all this time. I already have PCOS, and we are approaching 40. I am terrified to put any pressure on DP so I am reluctant to ask him to go for a sperm test.
What are our chances? I'm so tired of brick walls flying up in front of us, I just need to hold our rainbow baby Sad This is only our third cycle of trying but I've been through 2.5 years of desperation. It would be just our luck for Mother Nature to stick her oar in

I think it's quite rare for mumps to affect fertility. My brother managed to father a child after mumps in his teens (didn't get mmr)

Thank you for your response and your positivity!

I hope you're right. I will cling to any bit of hope right now
