Is Testicular Atrophy Reversible?

My husband was diagnosed with low Testosterone levels in 2000.  He started on patches and later injections of supplemental testosterone.  Our doctor never did any other hormone testing and his levels were not checked on a regular basis.  We conceived a child in 2003 and she was born in 2004.  Recently we had fertility tests done as we have not been able to have another child.  It was found that he had azoospermia.  He also has a great degree of testicular atrophy.  We are obviously devastated.  My concern is whether or not this can be reversed and if we will ever again be able to have a child.  Should he stop the testosterone?  The whole situation is extremely confusing and frustrating.  I would be grateful of any help/advice you could give.  Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

I am 59 yrs old . run and work out pretty reg. I have been taking testostrone pellet injections.My wife takes and it works great for her lack of estrogene . she had a full historectomy years ago.
so i starten getting the injections.
I saw a youtube video on testicular shrinkage. and started paying attention. starting to shrink after 2 years {about}
The dr. was sports medicine for ?? maybe olympic team. He said the real solution is to block something???  thus allowing the testicles to do their job and this medicine would block the testosterone blockers. or maybe he said that it stops the estrogene, and; it would give same effect as testosterone.
can i just go to a local dr. and get the hcg  ?? thanks for the comments and help.
