Post Kleinfelter's Syndrome

My husband was diagnosed with Kleinfelter's Syndrome in Spring 2001, after having 2 semen samples come back with a zero sperm count and then having bloodwork done to check his chromosomes. He is a mosaic Kleinfelter's, some of his cells are normal, but many are not. He presents as "normal" in every way outwardly and physically, so this diagnosis came as a big shock to us.

He was put on a testosterone cream because his hormone levels were out of whack. They are now all in the normal range.

Our endocrinologist says because my husband is a mosaic, he may be able to father a biological child through IVF, ICSI. We decided to put all that on hold and adopted two older children instead. We are now in the process of adding another child to our family as well.

I am interested though, in hearing from anyone else who has experienced Kleinfelter's, and to see if anyone has successfully had a biological child after this diagnosis.

Thanks!
