What Do The Following Test Reports Indicate?
Question: Hello Doctor,
We are trying for baby since 2years. Last year we consulted an gynecologist and an XXXXXXX for the same.
They suggested ICSI as I am 40 yr old and my husband is 44 year old.
This is second marriage for both of us.I don't have any child from my first marriage and my Husband have two kids (20 yr old daughter and 18 yr old son) from his first marriage.
My husband's kidney was transplanted in 1991 i.e approx. 24 yr back and he is on the following medication since then :-
1) Ecosprin 150. 1-0-0
2) Wyasolone 7.5 mg 1-0-0
3) cellcept 500 mg 1-0-1
4) Neoral 50 mg 1-0-1
5) Arkamin H. 1-0-1
6) Tenormin 50. 1-0-1
7) lasix. 0-0-1
8) Zyloric 100 mg. 1-0-1
9) Methycobal. 1-0-1
10) Sevkar 400. 1-1-1
11) shelcal OS. 0-1-0
My husband's reports showed the following readings before we underwent ICSI
1) F.S.H. 4.15
2) L.H. 6.22
3) Total Testosterone 557.19
4) Aldosterone 13.2
The semen Analysis observed the following value:-
1) volume. 0.8 ml
2) sperm concentration. 00
3) total sperm count 00
With these reports doctor suggested some test:-
1) ULTRASOUND-TRUS-PROSTATE AND SEMINAL VESICLES
2) M.R.I OF PELVIS"
All test done were normal.
On the basis of my husband's history of Renal transplant,our age and his above mentioned reports doctor suggested to do testicular sperm aspiration for ICSI.
Multiple needle biopsies on both testes did not reveal presence of any Spermatozoa so my oocytes were vitrified.
After that my husband was put on an Ayurvedic capsules called SPERMON (2-2) for 3 months and I was on OVAFEM PLUS once a day.
After 3months of above medication we again did the following test and the readings are as follows:-
1) F.S.H. 17.83
2) L.H. 33.06
3) Prolactin. 13.35
4) Total Testosterone 963.19
5) Free Testosterone. 11.00
7) Progesterone. 0.3
8) SHBG. 32.6
9) Oestradiol 94
With all these readings high my husband stopped the medicine. And later then after 2months we once again did the following test
1) Oestradiol. 52
2) Total Testosterone. 557.19
The semen Analysis observed the following value:-
1) volume. 1.00 ml
2) sperm concentration. Single sperm seen in centrifuged deposit
Pls advice us as now which way to go.

Brief Answer:
Needs to go for donor sperms
Detailed Answer:

Thanks for your query.
I have read you query and I understand your concerns about your husband's sperm count.
Following is my reply:
1) His sperm counts are very low and are difficult to improve for a successful pregnancy.

Brief Answer:
Stem cell still under research
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
I understand your concerns about having husband's sperms only.
No medicine can improve his sperms 100 percent accurately.
Unfortunately stem cells to regenerate sperms are still in research stage in the world. No progress has been made yet and don't know when will it be made for clinical application. I dont think they do this in XXXXXXX
