I can see you didn't get any responses to this thread. It happens sometimes on here...
My partner has non- obstructive azoospermia, which basically means he has no sperm in his ejaculate.
He does however have sperm in his testicles, that was surgically removed using MicroTese.
5 ampules of sperm were successfully retrieved from my partner. We were all shocked and over the moon at this result.
It was day surgery. Recovery was about 2 weeks. And he was in pain some hours after the procedure.
We are self funded. It was v expensive.
We took Pregnacare him & her conception vitamins by Vitabiotics. I bought them and made him take them.
I force fed him Walnuts. Brocoli. Salad. I swapped his milk chocolate for dark chocolate and made sure he ate lots of fruit and veg. I do all the cooking, so he had no choice. I also asked him to not drink alcohol for 3 weeks. The consultant seemed to think the 'diet' made a difference to the amount of sperm...
We did get pregnancy , but I unfortunately miscarried in December- I was 9 weeks.
We've come too far to give up. I started meds for my 5th cycle this morning. It will be a frozen embyro transfer- i feel it's a miracle that we had one good enough to freeze from the previous cycle! So I'm holding onto that.
I hope this helps.
Keep the faith and good luck!x
