no sperm, sperm, no sperm.....

Ok.. we went from azoospermia to a count of 17million with clomid. When DH went in to do a freeze 5 days after the 17 million sperm analysis, there was ZERO sperm again.

 Have any of you experienced anything similar or understand why one day we have a normal count and just a few days later we have none?

I hope its ok to post. My IF buddy, NMscubaGirl's DH had this. They actually minitored at home and it was like every 60 days he'd have sperm for a few days. So he would go in every 48hours when they found sperm at home.

My DH hasn't done the up and down thing, but his tests always have freeze orders on them so if there are viable swimmers in there, they are preserved.

Unfortunately, they don't thaw well.

Fortunately, for our last IVF there were enough fresh that no frozen were needed.

Hope that you can find answers!

I really don't know but I was going to ask what the pp said - can't they freeze everything they find when they test?  It must be so frustrating.  I am so sorry for you both.

While we have never had normal counts.  We gave an SA with no sperm and our RE called us and made us do another.  We had 500,000 in that sample.  And then the day of ER we had 2 barely moving sperm.  Grrrrrr......  I HATE MFI!!!!!!!!!!

We are in a similar boat to firesiren as you can see in my siggy, unless you are on the stupid mobile bump. I also HATE MFI. So sorry you are dealing with this.
TTC since June 2011

Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test :(
Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.

SA 8/23/12: Zero sperm
