There are a few options for men with a zero count. Surgical techniques like MESA and TESA can be successful with only 1 sperm, and some can even go directly into the testicle to get the sperm. So if his count is zero b/c the sperm aren't getting through the urethra during ejaculation, they could still get some viable sperm out. Here is an article on MESA and TESA: http://www.infertilityspecialist.com/intracytoplasmic_sperm_injection_retrieval.htmlexplaining MESA.
These techinques are used in conjunction with IVF. They can be expensive (at least $12,000 per cycle with MESA/TESA).
As far as raising sperm counts, you need to determine why his counts are so low. Does he have any other biological children? It could be anything from a variocele (a swelled vessel near the testes) to a lifestyle issue (frequent hot tubbing, bike riding, sauna usage, or smoking). Your best bet is to see a reporductive endocrinologist, a fertility specialist, who can help you get to the bottom of this.
Unfortunately, you will not get pregnant naturally with such a low count, so the sooner you seek professional help, the sooner you will get your baby.
Good luck!

This is a serious answer.To increase sperm count make sure hubby is not wearing tight briefs as they can affect the sperm. Myspecialist told me this.

You would want to look into IVF. They can find active sperm even in someone with results showing zero.

In all seriousness, relax and stop trying so hard. Just enjoy the intimate times with him, I've learned that when a couple is not "trying" then there is not the pressure and stress. It will happen when it's time to happen. I had a friend who her and her hubby tried for many, many years and it never happened they choose to adopt, they had the newly adopted little one home and within months they were pregnant because they were not so stressed about it happening.

Keep him out of the hot tub. and, although it may seem counter-intiuitive, cold showers may help the sperm count (if not the sexual desire). good luck

Seriously, look into adoption. Plenty of children need parents.
