Jane - I totally understand your frustration. Every day of waiting to do this or that is a trauma, let alone 6mths or so. People around me are telling us to have a few mths off or try next yr etc etc but they just don't get that feeling of urgency/desperation. I think it is good, however that your DH is so keen to try whatever it takes. Maybe the surgery will make a big difference and then you will be glad doing it sooner rather than later!
Best wishes to you both.
BTW - is there no chance of doing IVF round prior to surgery or sooner afterwards ? I know they can surgically "extract" sperm from the testicles.
Lil-chookie - thanks for the positive vibes - I need all I can get atm.
Leis - You are one strong woman to go through all you've have. I hope that when your child is born, they appreciate the massive effort!!
