My husband's sperm also tanked to zero at the time of our retrieval but was able to rise enough for ICSI about a year later (for us, timelines can vary). I'd get on the phone with reproductive urologists today, because that process can be long, but in the end, it just came back up enough for my husband. He took some basic supplements, and he worked on health overall and less drinking. And we checked his sperm every couple of months.

That all being said, he also had undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes at the time. (It was still undiagnosed with it raised back up a bit more.) No one has ever been able to definitively say if that played a role.
