[quote=Anonymous]My husband had azoospermia after a brain tumor caused damage to his endocrine system and he underwent chemo and radiation.  He took various fertility medications for about two years before producing any sperm (I don't remember exactly which meds, but they were basically the same ones I took to trigger ovulation when we did IVF).  Even then, he had low motility and morphology.  We did IVF with ICSI and have 13-year-old fraternal twins.

I think he might be retired, but Richard Sherins did the original research at NIH about restoring male fertility, and that was who we used when he was at Columbia Fertility Associates.  I am forever grateful to him.  We thought we had no hope of my husband fathering children but Dr. Sherins was nothing short of a miracle worker.

There have to be excellent male factor infertility endocrinologists in the area (or perhaps Johns Hopkins or NY).  If you haven't already, please see an RE specializing in andrology in addition to the RE who will primarily deal with female infertility procedures and oversee IVF.  I hope someone on this board can provide updated recommendations.[/quote]
