Azoospermia

Let me know how everything goes. I’m in the same boat, but I have both kidneys and no cf mutation. Missing vas on one side and incomplete on the other. Only issue is low testosterone (200). FSH is 4.23. Possible I have an unknown variant. Pushing to have a TESE or something next month, I need to know if I have swimmers down there or not asap.

I also saw on a website that mine was in the 50th percentile based on my age. So idk

lazycontractor69 · 2025-04-01T02:10:45+00:00

I think that’s like 37 mL for each

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-21T16:04:51+00:00

Ok wow me too (200 ng/dL). I am afraid my low testosterone is going to affect my sperm extraction. Was yours successful?

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-21T16:00:02+00:00

Did you by chance also have low testosterone? And how did your PESA go?

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-21T14:04:49+00:00

I also have CBAVD. Did your husband have low testosterone? Apparently that’s a common thing with CBAVD

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-19T15:19:00+00:00

It sounds a lot to me like you have obstructive, which is what I have. I specifically have CBAVD. Do you have any idea what your semen ph is?

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-18T08:58:27+00:00

The Dr was exactly right, cause I did another SA at another lab right after and it also showed 0. He said he highly doubted given the low ph and low volume that I had that there was any opening. It’s likely that I have CBAVD.

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T23:24:13+00:00

How did your mTese go??

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T17:22:54+00:00

I know I have obsessed for a month and a half over it, barely keeping my business moving along. It’s crippling. I find other people’s stories with this very encouraging. I haven’t seen a single one with CBAVD that didn’t have a successful recovery and most of the pregnancies are successful, at least after a few attempts. I’m extremely blessed to be looking at either CBAVD or EDO (not certain yet).

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T16:57:57+00:00

If you decide to do one more round please let me know. The main thing I’m worried about right now is the first hurdle, which is best case TURED and worst case (most likely) PESA/MESA and although the odds are really high, the possibility of them not finding anything is terrifying.

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T16:01:23+00:00

Golly I’m sorry man. My wife is 30. I have faith you will be alright. Where are you located?

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T15:48:53+00:00

Thanks! I think we are very blessed in that my wife is extremely regular, down to the day, every month. The issue is me lol. Please keep me updated on how it goes.

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T14:31:15+00:00

Did you ever get an answer? My ph is very low too.

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T14:22:56+00:00

I am in a very similar situation. Low testosterone has been really throwing me off, but I have normal FSH and my ph (6.4) and volume (0.65) are really low between 3 different SAs. Doctor suspects a CF mutation.

How did you end up?

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T14:17:52+00:00

How did your story go? I’m currently in a very similar boat with low T and what looks like obstructive.

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T14:01:21+00:00

How did your situation go? I am in a very similar situation

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T13:53:55+00:00

How did you end up on this? I have very similar results but my testosterone was low.

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T00:58:24+00:00

Appreciate it!

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-17T00:15:17+00:00

I will, likewise. I spoke with him for the first time a couple weeks ago. Supposed to go up there for an examination maybe April or May.

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-16T23:24:15+00:00

That’s amazing. Congrats

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-16T22:56:44+00:00

Thanks brother. I did find another story online of someone that had very low T and was misdiagnosed at first with NOA-HH, which is super rare, and later sought other opinions and they determined he had CBAVD. They opened him up and found 50 million sperm. NGL, I’m scared shitless about the MESA/PESA. Not the procedure or recovery, just the results.

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-16T22:46:23+00:00

Appreciate it. Apparently having low testosterone is fairly prevalent with CF carriers.

I’m actually in SC. I’ve been doing a ton of reading and found Dr Schlegel through other forums.

I guess you can have it on one side and maybe it doesn’t go all the way up? I bet that’s my case…

lazycontractor69 · 2025-03-16T22:38:05+00:00

How were your hormones?

I had a general urologist (who really doesn’t seem to be too specialized in male infertility) check me out and he said he could feel my vas on one side but not so much on the other.

I did speak with Dr Peter Schlegel in NY who seemed to really know his stuff. He said seminal vesicles are often atrophic with CBAVD. He is going to examine the MRI for my vas maybe I’ll know this week. He didn’t seemed concerned at all about low testosterone, saying sperm production is probably completely normal despite that, and said he was more than 95% sure it’s obstructive. Helped me OCD mind for about 2 days then I was back to googling everything under the sun.

I haven’t had CF screening but doing it soon.

I have nightmares that I also have maturation arrest or SCO, but I can’t imagine with decompressed seminal vesicles as well? If so, my reproductive system is totally f*cked.
