Unusual: Removing a testicle should not affect the sperm count. The other testicle should produce plenty of sperm. So there is another problem. Either there is an obstruction and surgery is required or there is a sperm production problem. He would need an evaluation by a urologist experienced in fertility.

Clomid (clomiphene) is: Approved for female infertility, and is considered a serm, estrogen receptor blocker. Male infertility can be due to inadequate icsh, or primary testicular failure. Clomid (clomiphene) is 'tried' off label. If there were no sperm to start, and sex works, the Clomid (clomiphene) is a long shot at best. Re-check your doc, but i cannot be optimistic.
