Hi Peter
My husband and I are getting more and more puzzled by the day........
To cut a long story short, my husband had two sperm tests showing no sperm, blood test showed severly elevated FSH levels and small unstimulated testes.......it is thought to be Sertoli Cell Only Syndrome. My gynecologist referred him to an Andrologist where an extensive blood test was done (we find out results next week) for Y chromosome deletion, cystic fybrosis and other things.
Following this it is another 2 month (alcohol free wait) for another sperm test and following that a biopsy and possibly ICSE failing that donor.
From having a look on this website and others, it feels like we are the only people with this problem??
Is ICSE a long shot with this condition??
What are likely success rates of ICSE with this condition? and is cessation of alcohol make it more likely that sperm will appear in the next test??
Your input on this subject would be very much appreciated as we feel very alone and very much at the mercy of our clinic
Warm Regards
JenF
