Male Infertility information

Hi, I am pretty new to this and was hoping that someone could give my husband and I a little bit of hope. We have been having unprotected sex for the last 9 years with no pregnancy. At first we were not trying seriously for a baby but now it has got to the point where we are desperate. We have been to have tests done (both of us) and I always thought that I am the reason we were failing I still might not be making it any easier as I have polycystic ovaries and Syndrome, My husband unfortunately as we found out just isn't producing ANY sperm. None. I started researching this and asking around and his mum and it turns out when he was younger he did get the mumps. I have heard that in some cases this can have a very negative effect on sperm. My husband is 29 and I am 24. We have been to urology departments Doctors we are about to go and see a specialist in london next month, This is literally our last hope we are clinging onto the fact he may be able to help us. Our GP said we need to be referred to a fertility clinic but then when we went back in for something else a few weeks later he said it is looking like we won't be able to get any treatment at all on the NHS. If this is true why. We are british citizens from birth. We have lived and worked in the UK our whole lives We are british Why won't they help us. What can we do ? I am adopted and we have always said we want to adopt but we are not currently in any position to adopt mainly because of their ridiculously strict guidelines and checks and everything that you have to pass it will take years, it took 3 years for me to be fully adopted. I am not debating Adoption so please don't respond about adoption. We don't have thousands of pounds saved up to have private fertility treatment, so we will still be waiting a minimum of 5 years, to have something that unsuitable people lay down and have everyday, (junkies, child abusers, 12-16 year olds. All My husband and I want is a family of our own.
Please help as we are trying so hard to be there for each other and it is heart breaking.

I do hope that members of our online community will be able to relate to your situation and respond but in the meantime I just wanted to say I hope you recieve some positive news in the close future.

It must be very hard on both yourself and your husband but keep supporting each other as you are. You are both young so hopefully this will allow for many options to be explored.
