Hi Tracey,

GL with your IVF cycle hun! My DF had a 'snip' a long time ago (was married then and had 3 kids already the last one almost cost his ex her life, so decided to have the snip) so when he got divorced and met me we wanted children of our own (as you often do!). We tried for 3 years w/o protection thinking maybe a sneaky sperm might find its way into my eggie, but of course no luck. My DF had a vesectomy reversal done which was very expensive, and surprise surprise, the count was zero!!!!!! Hello!! What a waste of money. They did say that if it's been longer than 5 years since the vesectomy the chances of the revesal working is pretty small. Anyhoo, we had the biopsy done on the day of EPU, I was really worried that there will be no sperm, but luckily they got some good ones as we ended up with 7 fertilized embies. That was back in 2008, so I'm now wondering if it's a good idea to get DF to get some sperm taken out for when we're ready to have another go (I don't have any frozen embies) as he'll be 46 this year???? Sounds like you have a clever urologist, ours actually told us to go straight to IVF before he charged us the 4 Gs, he just knew we were probably wasting our money on the reversal. The microsurgery in NOT cheap....

GL with it all hun!
