Is Approaching A Sperm Donor Best Possible Option For Failed IVF ICSI ?

HI there we just had a failed ivf icsi cycle. I am a healthy 29 female no issue just hypothyroid but its controlled.My husband however has sperm issues. We were promissed thar ivf would work for us. We asked our doc if we need a sperm donor he answer was not at all.this is my husbands sperm count.After on thaw. volume 1.6. Initial count 0.49x10^6/ml. total motility <0.1% . Progressive 0,non progressive <0.1.Immotile 99.9. Differential Morphological Assessment: Normal 4% #cell counted 50. Normal 4,cytoplasmic 4,macrocephalic 14,amorphous 36,pyriform 4,midpiece 10,coiled tails 14. rAW sPECIMEN oBSERVATIONS 1 "c" TYPE SPERM SEEN OUTSIDE GRADE. Final description: Volume 0.25, concentration 1.65x10^6/ml motile count 0.00165x10^6/ml motility <0.1% total number motile sperm retrived 0.00041 ONE WASH W/MHTF +SSS. My question is i had a chemical pregnancy 3 days before my final 14 day after the transfer blood test my home tests stoped showing less and less. DO you think we should just get a donor. I am in canada they dont treat male factor here we did repair minor varecocele 3 years ago but it didnt help the sperm is always the same always it doesnt change at all. However i just bought addyoxa fortege speman we want to take it couple of month and see if we want to do ivf icsi again. Thank you

Hi. It will be better if you get your husband checked by Urologist again. He may need further check-ups, investigations and whatever treatment be advised. Continue taking the said medicines. It is wise to try everything before you go for sperm donor.
