Hi All,
Hoping to get a chat going with some advice. My husband and I started TTC 9 months ago but had an inkling something was wrong. We had a private fertility assessment which showed he had no sperm in his semen (azoospermia). We are incredibly overwhelmed and shocked but are keen to explore further testing.
We have gone to our GP however he has explained the wait will likely be several months until we are seen in infertility clinic. We have therefore decided to go privately. My husband has had blood tests for genetic testing and hormones this week (not sure how long it will be until we get results?) and he has a urology appointment in a month’s time for a physical exam.
Id be so grateful if people can share their experiences of azoospermia, outcomes, success stories, other options explored, tests but also timelines if private? How long does it take for tests to come back? How long until he has his sperm retrieval test? What’s next and how long?
sorry for all the questions - so overwhelmed and no one seems to have any answers…thank you in advance.

@mayihavesomecakeplease thats brilliant that you were successful first round IVF! Sorry to hear about misreferrals… thankfully we are in a position where we can go privately but there’s minimal advice around what he actually needs. He has had hormone and genetic bloods which we are awaiting the results for and he had a urology consultation in July including a physical exam. Is there anything else you suggest he needs at the moment or shall we wait until these are done? Thank you!
