Out of 8 embryos none made it to the 4th day

Hi.
I have very low low low sperm count 0.1mill /ml. Volume also low under 0.5 milliter.We did try donated eggs due to wife's (38) early menopause but out of 8 embryos none survived more than 3 days and no transfer was possible. I did have some progressive motility issues but it is 20 % now (last time 3 weeks ago). instead of 0 % as it was before . I am 58 now and we would like to have a sibling for our 7 year old daughter. She was conceived by ICSI using our natural contribution in 2007 when I was 50. The sperm profile looked better then than now. Is it because of my aging or simply stress ?I am healthy otherwise but have 40 lbs. extra on me regardless of very regular weight lifting etc. Is it a good idea to try it again? My doctor could not use DNA fragmentation test because of the low volume.
Thanks.
Zoltan
