Hi BW,

WOW, I knew you were going to say that! She is lovely. I've been seeing her for almost a year. We've been TTCing for 15 cycles now, but it's only been 5 cycles since my DH got his improved numbers. My DH had a triple defect too! Now his count is a little low, but not by much.

So has this 2nd specialist found why you have such long cycles and don't respond to clomid?? I hope it's good news on the 11th.

When they do the embolisation they go in through the neck and go down to just above the testes, then they insert coils into the vein to the varicocele to block blood flow to it. It's quite incredible. Your DH will be left with just a puncture wound on his neck, not even any stitches!! My DH found that is neck was a bit sore where they went in, no other discomfort at all!

We're trying this month, which will then be 6 months with good sperm numbers. We have an appointment with our FS at the end of this month to maybe start with IUI.

It's been such a horrible experience, I just want it to be over!!!

Sam
