Default Re: Is there hope? Male Factor Infertility

ME! I am a success story! My DH had varicocele surgery and two months later we got pregnant with our DD on our own. We got pregnant again our first month of not not trying after she was born (does that make sense?).

When we were diagnosed we had 3 failed IUI's and I believed I was just a few months away from IVF which would have been a big financial hit for us. We tried the surgery and I am so glad we did.

I can't remember DH's exact numbers (going through infertility I swore I'd never forget) but he was like 6 million count and 2% mobility and morphology. He had really bad numbers. I believe morphology was the main issue according to the urologist. My main piece of advice to you is find an urologist that you trust and go for the surgery. DH was out of work for a week and was uncomfortable the first 24-48 hours, but after that he was all about x-box and watching movies. It ended up like a mini vacation.

If you have any further questions or you need any information, please PM me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Good luck! :big hug
