I know exactly how you feel. My husband found out 3 years ago that he had no sperm after he did his semen analysis. We had also been trying for 5 years and thought it was my endo that was causing the infertility.
We went to a fertility specialist in NZ who did a biopsy and actually found sperm, they discovered he had a blockage.
In august 2009 we did an ivf icsi cycle where he had a fresh biopsy. We ended up with 12 embryos, but only 2 made it to 5 day blastocyst stage. We had one embryo transferred and fell pregnant! We now have a 13 month old boy!
So I would definitely try it if your husband is up for it. My husband went under a general anasthetic and couldn't complain at all. I think it cost about $500 plus theatre fee. We went through Monash. You should be able to call them for a price list.
I am about to have the second embryo transferred next Tuesday! If it doesn't take, we have my husbands sperm frozen so he won't have to go through the process again.
I wish you all the luck in the world. It is a very emotional time, but if you don't try, you will never know!!
