Male infertility

[entropy]

I know most men with CF are infertile but there are some things I'm not totally clear about.

During sex or masturbation, should infertile men with CF have any ejaculate? I ask because I do have ejaculate that seems to me to be relatively normal-looking but there isn't much volume to it.

Maybe I was sleeping during anatomy class, but I do ejaculate a small amount of sticky/gooey substance during orgasm but I'm not sure if this is actually sperm or some other substance. I haven't gotten my ejaculate tested, so I figured I'd post here and ask the following:

if you are a male with CF that has had a sperm test and knows for sure you are infertile, when you have sex or masturbate do you expel ANY ejaculate after climax? if so, does it appear to be like "normal" male ejaculate as far as volume and viscosity/gooiness?

if any males are not infertile, what is the approximate volume of the ejaculate? in teaspoons, please. Even if it's only a very small amount, e.g. 1 hlf teaspoon or 1/4th teaspoon.

I'm not totally sure if my vas deferens are blocked, partially blocked, or if my ejaculate is some other fluid that comes from somewhere besides the testicles. There definitely is a transparent, grayish goo. I just want to know if it contains sperm and if males who know they're infertile are able to produce sticky ejaculate.

I know it's very personal, but I appreciate honest replies. Thanks.

You seem normal in the way you have described your actions<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
I had a vasectomy a few years ago, so i know that I dont have semen in my ejaculate, and yes I still expel the usual amount of ejaculate as I did before my 'snip'. The amount may differ from person to person but you will generally have more ejaculate if you dont ejaculate on a daily basis, if say you ejaculate weekly then you will have more. A teaspoon or less is a normal amount.

Maybe you should still get yourself tested for fertillity as you never know, you may have your vas intact. You should still perform safe sex regardless as there are other things out there that are harmful.

I've been tested twice and I'm shooting blanks. I dont have very much ejaculate, 1/2 a ts or less. Girlfriends I've had said it is a little different than other ejaculate they have come in contact with. Get tested, enjoy it.

dyza, do you have CF? You said you had a vasectomy so I'm assuming your VDs weren't blocked?

Entropy, Dyza is the parent of a CFer. I think he was just chiming in on the fact that he's experienced his own ejaculate with and without sperm and there isn't much of a difference.

98% of men with CF are infertile, and this is because they lack the vas deferens. In the research I've done, I have yet to find a CF male who has had a "blocked" vas deferens. The situation is black and white, either you do or you do not have a vas deferens. No such thing as a blocked vas deferens as an attribute of CF.

My ex husband has CF, and he had plenty of ejaculate, but there were no sperm. The consistency was thinner as well, but to me that is the only difference I've noticed. We did IVF with ICSI and a Non surgical sperm aspiration to get pregnant.

@ julie

Men with CF who are infertile are either missing their vas deferens or they're blocked with mucus. The situation isn't "black and white," which is why I came here to ask, seeking other experiences from adult males. I've done research as well as asking my doctor about this.

From what you've said, and what others have said, I am led to believe I am infertile. For a while I was questioning it because I was producing ejaculate that seemed normal, just not very much of it. So, I was thinking maybe one of my vas deferens was functional.

I don't want kids anyway.
