Most of you know my story, but here goes again 
Been with my dh since 2001, but waiting until 2009 to get married. He had 4 children with his first wife, but had custody of them, so they have been a part of my life too. Very close to my youngest dss and don't think I could love him anymore than if I did give birth to him. DH had V in 1993. DH had his first VR with Dr Leverett in 6/08. Total sperm count was only about 10 million and that was 4 mos post op. Kept decreasing in time until there were still sperm getting through, but no motility. Redo VR 8/10. 4 month SA only 196,000 sperm. Local urologist put DH on antibiotics and 2 months later SA was worse. I never understand the whole sperm production anyway. If it truly takes like 70 days or whatever it is to make new sperm then would the 2nd SA even have sperm that was affected by the antibiotics> KWIM?? Oh, well back to my long drawn out story....Dr Leverett retired, so Dr Roeder finally called us back and is sending a prescription for prednisone and celebrex. Anyone have any good results with that? Going to repeat SA 2 months after and go from there. Going to try and get enough sperm to try IUI before we win the lottery and go for IVF. Wish we would've done IUI after the first VR, but dh really didn't want to...has changed now for sure! Some people may think we are crazy for having a child this late in life, but it is our choice. What's life all about anyway...family. So here we go....been long process, but hoping for positive results.
