Unfortunately, DH (dear husband) has been diagnosed with testicular failure. he has very high FSH 67.4 IU/L, high LH 26.47 IU/L, normal testosterone 11.22 mmol/L.
Urologist said treatment will be less than 1% chance. we are not keen on donor sperm or adoption for now. we really wanted a biology child
Does anyone happen to have similar case and managed to have successful story and how? We are thinking of TCM

I have similar as yours, my hubby too, we are seeing TCM too since Dec 2018, but no change in his condition yet.
we have to be strong and face this together, might go and see doctor overseas if needed

Hi, can I know how u resolve the issue?
Hello i know it is not easy but we have to be strong and decide what is best for our family, if we are sad , it will affect our husband too , he will feel guilty for the main course of fertility.
My husband TCM treatment did not work, so we still on going consultation with overseas doctor, i find singapore urologist is not so confident in non obstructive high fsh azoospermia case and will directly recommend donor sperm in general without being emphathatic towards affected family.
Having said that, u can try to find a reputable urologist that confident to do surgery to find the sperm, no matter how small is the chance.
But u have to financially prepare because it is not cheap and every surgery there is a risk. At least now i assume your husband sexual function is normal, but post surgery we will
Never know what’s going to happen.
My piece of advice is be positive , always remember the basic foundation of your marriage with your husband, having a child is not everything, i always felt having a loving and good husband is more important. And unfortunately we face one of the most difficult fertiltiy root cause.
Dont be too stress, remember that you are not facing this alone, a lot of couple face it too but culturally taboo to discuss it.
I’m having same issue and I understand how u feel.. very depressed and lost.. did you try tcm? Does it work? Hope to hear from u soon.
Treatment takes time, hope the treatment works, my husband also taking clomid. We also hope for miracle.Hi, would like to check how are you dealing with this? My husband was also diagnosed with azoospermia with high FSH & LH & borderline low testosterone.
We are trying gonal-f injection & clomid orally. Also supplements & tcm with accupunture. Doctor told us to continue on for 4 months before checking again on the semen analysis. So far its been 1 month.
Hope to hear more from others
please update me, just starting on this journey for a month, didnt have any friend with the same problem so i start to look for forum to hear more experiences. Hope to hear positive news from you and DH, good luck!Treatment takes time, hope the treatment works, my husband also taking clomid. We also hope for miracle.

Hi im not sure if its the same case as my husband have borderline low testosterone. His is
FSH: 44.2 IU/L
LH: 21.24 IU/L
testosterone: 9.32 nmol/L
We are seeing urologist dr michael wong in mount elizabeth and ongoing with hormone therapy of clomid & gonal-f injection, also going to tcm, going to 2nd month now. Will do the checks only in mid january, so cant advice yet whether it is a successful treatment. Will update here again.
Stay strong most important is to be strong for our DH.
Hi Hopingformiracle,We have seen urologist, tcm, senior fertity consultant also no use. My hubby fsh is 50 plus and testosterone is 5 plus. Pls let me know if you know if you all found a solution.
Hi everyone, my DH also has azoospermia.
FSH:19.4 (high)
ICSH: 4.11(Normal)
Testosterone: 17.39 (normal)
We are quite lost as i have visited a Gynae in Mount Elizabeth and husband was then recommended to see a urologist in Mount Elizabeth after realizing that there was no sperm in his sample. He went for an second opinion but was told straight up that we have to for for donor sperm or adoption. We are still carrying hope.
May I know if anyone can recommend a urology Specialist and also a Ivf specialist who works together in SGH or NUH that can advise us with patience and hope?
We are quite lost as to how to proceed, hope to get some direction here.

Hi Hopingformiracle,
My hb had borderline testosterone too! The doc gave him clomid, i bought blackmores vitamin and also cordyceps tablets for him.
He just did a tese and we have been informed there is sperm we can use for ivf!
We saw doc joe lee in nuh.
Hello BBTT!
Im new to the forum and need some advice. My DH was diagnosed with NOA.
May i ask if your DH did a Y Microdeletion test?
Mine was diagnosed with high FSH and borderline low testosterone, and Y microdeletion
We were told that even with tese the chances of finding sperm would be very low.

Hello there We are considering this option too. May i know if you went for it and how is the process like? I hear there arent any donors in SG.Same issue as you. But lucky my hub is quite supoortive in using donor sperm. We both feel we really want a kid. Dont need to explain to others this is from donor. Nobody will know
My husband has not been tested for genetic abnormality. We are also told that our chance of finding sperms is low because of his high FSH.
Thank you for sharing your journey that relate to everyone of us here, it is comforting to have more support group and feel we are not alone.

Hello there! My DH's stats are more or less the same as yours.
Would like to seek your advice if the therapy and meds/jabs helped improved your DH's SA?
My fertility specialist is suggesting we go for donor sperm as the result of tese will be poor. I am thinking of seeking second opinion at dr micheal wong.
Im still not ready to give up so hoping to see some advice! Thank you in advance
I guess the genetic test is a confirmation for us that there is no chance to find sperm even with tese. nonetheless,i have booked an appt with a urologist next week. Just wanted to hear a second opinion.
Have u tried PGD /?
This is a genetic test for embryo? So far the diagnosis is no sperm found so we arent at that stage.
Hi, is there some kind of hormone treatment or dietary supplements that male patients should take before doing TESE?
Hi
Just found this forum.
We did fertility test at Thomson medical.
My husband LH 20.1, FSH 34.3, testosterone 0.9
Based on the report, he is diagnose with klinefelter syndrome. Genetic counselling is recommended.
This news sad him the most as he wants a child. As wife, i need to be positive and we looking for possible treatment for him first. Whatever the outcome, we have to embrace this together.
Hope u all too stay positive.
Thank you tineWelcome to this support group, we are all together facing this test. Yes, we have to be strong for our husband. InfertIlity is a test in marriage. Give him and u sometime to digest this info before u decide any attempt in fertility.
Hi everyone,
I did a fertility test at Thomson Medical recently. DH results were not promising.
FSH: 23.5
LH: 7.8
Testosterone: 30.4
The doctor didn't want to look me in the eyes and just passed me the results. I know its hard for them to be empathetic. We were asked to check out the donor sperm program. I was more concerned "Is this it? Isn't there a TESE or micro-TESE we can try before asking a donor? Someone help me please."
I know its the worst possible infertility problem any couple can meet. Nothing can be more rock bottom than this. DH then revealed he wanted a kid all these years but never actively pursued. It breaks my heart.
DH and I have not come to terms with it. I feel helpless. I cry when I think about it. I lived my life, overcoming any obstacles with hard work or at least earn enough money to solve a problem but I can't seem to solve this.
I am going to seek a second opinion with the results we got. I plan to see a TCM fertility as well. I'm not giving up without a fight.
For many infertile couples, the on-going in-vitro gametogenesis (IVG) seems like a game-changer. It grows artificial sperms/ eggs from stemcells retrieved from your skin or blood. With artificial sperms, it contains the biology of the person. No more anonymous sperm donor needed. It gave me hope. I so wished it's available now. You can read about it below.
