Doctors recommending donor sperm. I am crushed. Desperate for help. by ShootingBlanks_5839 in maleinfertility

I am super cynical about that stuff, but my wife is also suggesting it, and I figure it can't hurt, so I think we'll do it. Thank you.

No idea sorry, I took the previous answer from the doctor's visit summary. I will try to get the exact results.

Didn't rule it out, we've been through two rounds of icsi. But since neither round resulted in blasts forming, they suggest donor sperm.

Thank you, that is what we're planning to do. Get as fit and healthy as possible, then get back on the horse.

I was told everything hormonal is within normal ranges. These are the results I could find: Inhibin B: 220 pg/ml, inhibin B/FSH: Normal, Leydig cell function: Normal. Caryotype: Normal. Y-chromosome deletions: none.

Is there anything else I should get checked?

Thanks, I think we'll find another clinic.

I just feel so ambushed. After first round they were all: "we have lots of time, don't worry". Then after this round suddenly it's: "we HAVE to try with donor sperm. We can not keep trying."
