LH and FSH in DH after menopur

Long story short my husband had Putiurity cancer when he was 11 and damaged all his hormone production. 18 months ago had a SA which showed 10 immobile sperm.

after 18 months of treatment where he came off the synthetic testosterone and onto Gonasi (then SA which said zero sperm) and a further 3 months on Menopur we are now at the point where his:

  • Testosterone is the high level of normal 27 (normal range 11-30)
  • FSH is the lower end of normal 2.5 (normal is 0.95-11)
  • LH non existent.

I have no idea whether this means that he will be producing any sperm - he has a massive case on at work and doesn't want to go to a SA until it's finished in a couple of weeks.

I am going mental. I am anxious there will be nothing there and I am anxious there will be enough there for IVF but not natural conception (I am petrified of needles). Obv the latter is the better choice but not ideal.

I am meant to be having my coil out in 10 days (we agreed this regardless as whatever route we take we want my hormones to have a bit of time to settle) but it's all becoming very anxiety driving for me. DH is so busy at work he doesn't think about it but I am an obsessive person at the best of times.

Hi I'm sorry I can't answer your questions but would love to chat. My partner had leukaemia as a teen and has had one SA which was azoospermia. We're waiting to find out what next steps are and have appointments in the next couple weeks.
