Hi there really wanted to share my story to help give you some hope. We were TTC for just over a year and found out hubby had extremely low sperm count and the sperm that were there weren't mobile we wer crushed. At first we were told a natural conception couldn't happen and our only hope was ICSI. We were referred to urologist for further investigation and during this time I became quite depressed and we wer both so heartbroken. Turns out after tests, they found hubby to have a severe varicocele in one of his testicles which we wer told could possibly be affecting his fertility. Urologist offered him an op, a varicocele embolisation, to remove it but warned us that with hubby's sperm being so poor that chances were it wouldn't make much difference. We decided t go for it as felt had nothing to lose. A few months later hubby had the surgery and 3 months after that he was getting his sperm analysis redone. We braced ourselves for more disappointment but miraculously hubby's sperm wer now in the normal range with good motility! A further 4 months on and low and behold we wer pregnant! We know that his varicocele could well come bak and we won't really know if his sperm will remain normal but just feel so blessed and shows you that it can happen even when u have little hope. Big hugs xxx
