See below: Your husband will not be able to contribute sperm. You may be inoculated from a different donor.

See below: Your ability to conceive is not affected by his sperm count. (ie you may be able to conceive using donor sperm, etc). His ability to fertilize an ovum is very diminished and not likely curable. If you hope to have biologic children together, then you may need advanced reproductive technologies. Good luck.

Mumps: Mumps can essentially destroy the seminiferous tubules which produce sperm. Your husband will never be able to contribute sperm.

Not known: Small testes and mumps post puberty will make it difficult to obtain sperm. Sperm would need to be identified with microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (tese) at a specialized male infertilty center. If there will be pregnancy, assisted reproductive techniques including intracytoplasmic sperm injection (placing sperm inside of egg, and then placing embryo in uterus) would be required.
