Sammi Jane, did you ever encounter any of the resistance towards varicocele repairs that we have? Our FS thinks it is a complete waste of time and said that while it does improve sperm quality, it doesn't improve pregnancy rates. But the studies he was basing that opinion on were including men with tiny little varicoceles and normal semen analysis. The ones that dealt with men with big, easy to find varicoceles, triple defect and normal hormone levels found that not only did it improve SA, but it did also improve pregnancy rates and it's much more cost-effective than IVF/ICSI.

I think they can increase my eostrogen - either that or give me injections of FSH directly so that I can grow eggs rather than using drugs like clomid which try to trigger the body into producing FSH for itself. It's not an area I've read much on - I've been more focussed on the varicocele lately.
