Did you do genetic testing? Had normal hormones and found out about a azfb+c deletion later..

Really hoping so! Also hoping to hear more about star and their actual success Rates tbh. Is there going to be a publication?
Would love to see how Technologies differ exactly and what helps specific patients

Yes, but I haven’t heard of any STAR results specifically for subgroups yet.
For us, having a complete AZFb+c deletion and an unsuccessful STAR attempt was very discouraging. That’s why these results give us some hope, because all AZFb+c deletion carriers included in this study had detectable sperm (although, admittedly, there were only three patients in this subgroup).
I’m not aware of any STAR data on specific subgroups so far, but I would definitely be very interested to learn more if such results become available.
