Hope no one minds me just copying this from posting in another group, but I am so stresses I don't have the energy to re write it, so apologies if you see this in other places too)

Urology appt was pretty much a waste of time!

After the mess up last time of having the letter that said SA was 'normal' and then being told that was an error and he has azoospermia, we now turn up at appt with urologust to be told "it's a shame I don't have any blood test results to maybe give 'some' indication".

We pointed out that they took them at our last appt, so off he goes to see if they're on the system but just not in our file and guess what?! NOTHING! So either they've lost the results or the blood. So hubby had a quick examination - nothing to report, and urologist spent 10 mins asking age, medical history, blah blah blah (read our file!!), then nurse re-took the bloods and put him on waiting list for SSR in 3 to 4 months time and then RE-DID the bloods!

So now we have to go back in 3 weeks time for results of bloods! So we ask him what he thinks the odds are of finding sperm in cases like this and he says "with nothing to really go on, I'd have to say 50/50!"

Plus we were also told that my FSH level was a little high, which may be a natural fluctuation, but I have to have my CD3 bloods done again as it may suggest my egg reserves are low! It gets worse!

Hope all goes well at your next appointment and you will get some answers.

Thaks Deb!

It went really well; the urologist explained all about the azoospermia & all the different causes, then examined DH's testicles (the poor soul!!!).
He said because they were normal sized it was most likely to be caused by a blockage which means that there's a good chance of finding sperm somewhere in there.

There's still a chance they might not but it's looking positive so far.
I'm getting an ovarian reserve test on Monday then DH can book in for the SSR!!!

So pretty good so far thank god!!!

Glad it went well Jo and it's nice to hear what urologist said about your chances. We were told he couldn't even give us any more of an indication that 50/50 cos they lost the blood results but I wasn't too impressed by him so it's good to hear what you were told. Good luck with next appt

Thanks! The guy that we saw is apparently an expert in male fertility problems & surgical sperm retrieval; that's pretty much all he does! So hopefully he knows what he's talking about. He even felt DH's man-bits & said he could feel the vas deferens which is one of the wee tubes apparently, so he must be pretty good cause it all feels like testicles surrounded by loose skin to me! I've never felt anything like a tube around there!

Hey, do you have a journal?

 

[Deb111]

No I don't have a journal yet - I guess it's something I should get round to starting
