Hey Brookelyn510! I have enjoyed reading your blogs & others. I am in similar situation.
Me-32 No known problems
DH- Low count, low everything really, diagnosed w/ varicocele. Surgery to correct (found five!) April 9, 2008
We have been TTC since 05, but have been agressively trying for 2yrs. At first we thought we were timing it poorly, so I started using OPK's & continued trying. NOTHING
So I put together a conception kit w/ OPK's, collection cup & a cervical cap. NOTHING. We heard about Fertell, the at home fertility test $80.00, the first test was no good, they shipped a new one. My test was good, my husbands showed abnormal sperm parameters.
DH went to urologist & they found a varicocele. DH was put on Clomid for about 6 months, and we began seeing our RE. I began clomid and we began IUI's.
IUI#1 BFN
IUI #2 BFN
RE did sperm assay and results were poor.
IUI #3 BFN
So we decided the varicocele was our problem, and DH had varicocelectomy April 9, 2008, they found 5! Well just today:
IUI#4 We are encouraged because DH's sperm was 17 million prewash, & 7.2 million washed. So the
2WW begins. I hope this will be THE ONE for you, too.

My DH and I haven't tried an IUI or any other fertility methods, since July of last year. We have both started new jobs, and next month April 9, 2009 we will be one year post-varicocelectomy surgery. My husband did an SPA, paid for my dr. for pure curiousity on his part. He's a visual learner, says he doesn't like to read. I am a reading coach at my school, so I always joke that I'm scared of a dr. who doesn't like to read. My husband spoke w/ him, and he said concentration was low 6 should be 20, morphology should be 14, he was 13, the overall score on the SPA should be 14, hubs was 16.3. Doc said looking good, take fertility blend.
So fast forward to this spring, it's March and I just turned 33, or 28 again, as I sometimes tell people. We are all set to try another IUI this May, IUI#5 to be exact, my insurance company will pay for 8, big blessing. This time we will try a follistim cycle, our first time using a gonotrophic, hope I'm not a raging lunatic. The thing I hope most, is this will be our time.
