Hello lovely ladies!
It's been quite a while since I've updated on here, finally have something to update you with (bloody waiting between appointments lol!).
Really great to hear so many people are progressing so well
Best of luck to you all!
So we went to Leeds on Monday to see the urologist. 9 weeks ago when we first saw us he sent DH for a FSH retest and the Y-chromosone test. They came back pretty much the same for FSH, 15.2 I think, and the Y-Chomosone one came back showing no genetic problem. He said that he would advise us to go for the mTESE, and that with DH's results the surgeon would give us a 50% chance of finding sperm which I was VERY surprised about! Obviously you don't know until you go in, but that was quite nice to hear. We will have to get DS backup as we've asked to go for a synchronised cycle, which was pretty obvious choice for us anyway!
SO! When we asked how long the waiting list was, he said he would expect the op to be by the end of the year. I said "Do you mean we'll have the operation by in a year's time?" and he said "No, hopefully by the end of 2013" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently, this is because the surgeon has only just come up to Leeds, and is the first person they've had to do mTESEs at the hospital (before they used to send people down to London), and as he's new there's next to no waiting list! I couldn't believe our luck! Apparently he's just getting his equipment checked over and then he'll be ready to start, so now we're waiting for a letter with his input. SO EXCITED!
So that's the update from me!
Hopeful - SSR isn't the same as an mTESE is it? The mTESEs are really thorough, so maybe this would be the next step? Fingers crossed for you lovely. XXXXX
My thoughts and prayers remain with you all
XXXXXXXXXXXX
