Hi everyone, I'm new here and thank you to Gargy for the warm welcome.

We just found out on Monday that my husband has no sperm. We are going back to his regular GP to see if there is another kind of test that can be done or something. This is all soooo very foreign to me and I am perhaps very naive too. I have no clue about donor sperm or IVF or any other of the 'things' we might have to do. You all use abbreviations, so I don't really know what it all means yet

But before I hound the GP with 1000 questions, I decided I might get some answers myself, here.

Does anyone know how many tests they do to check for sperm? (this probably sounds stupid...)... but I'm hoping my husband has 'blocked tubes' or something that is preventing his sperm from getting through. My husband has only had to provide a sample so far which proved to be 'Nil' for sperm.

Anyway, I look forward to what is possibly going to be a long association with you all...
