Endometriosis and Dh with Azoospermia what are chances with IVF?

[CRS0703]

I am new to this web site so I am really not familiar with a lot of the abbreviations, but am searching for answers suggestions really I think anything as to advice. So here goes with my story!

I am 26 years old my husband is 34 we have been ttc with our first for a year now with no luck. I was diagnosed with mild- sever Endometriosis when I was 19 and had a Lap and a Hysteroscopy remove it.  About 2 years ago I was put on Lupron to try to control the growth of the Endo. With no luck ttc my Dh went and go a sperm analysis and he was diagnosed with Azoospermia (having no sperm in ejaculation).  We recently went to a fertility clinic and they did another sonogram on me and one ovary is abnormally small and the other is attached to my uterus because of the endo. The Dr. said our only real chance was for my Dh to have a testicular biopsy to see if there is sperm in his testicals at the same time as me having egg retrieval to begin IVF.  If there is no sperm we would have to go through a sperm bank.  I know that IVF is a business, but could there be any other option?

My question is IVF costs a lot and there is no guarantee, and will my chances be worse with endo. Should I have another Lap before IVF to better my chances?  Should we look at seeing if his azoospermia is caused by a blockage and then try to correct it. Will I be able to go through a sperm bank emotionally? There are so many questions and I really am beginning to panic on what to do.

Can anyone give me any advice?

research has shown that a lap surgery does not increase your chances of conceiving by IVF, a lap does increase your chances of conceiving naturally though. so, you have to decide- if your pain in unbearable- i would go ahead and do a lap. if the pain is bearable- i would try ivf- get pregnant- God willing, then get a lap to remove the endo. the IVF drugs will stimulate the endo to grow so most likely the endo will be worse after you have a baby. women with endo have a good chance of conceiving with ivf if other options dont work. i would try to see if there is something that can be done to correct your husbands issues because this may be the reason why you cant get pregnant. if it is easily treated, you may be able to conceive naturally.
