My husband has it but no surgery as of yet. We did IVF to have our 2nd and are now hoping for a third. With the PCOS and not ovulating, his issues seem so minute.

Have his counts improved since then?? I've heard good things about the surgery!

he hasnt had a SA done since before it,his count was 34 million which is good..ive heard the surgery can have the opposite effect too and decrease the sperm count

Hi Missy

My OH had varicocele embolization last September and his count has improved dramatically. We had no problems conceiving our DD who will be 3 in October, but after TTC#2 for over a year we finally got OH checked out (always assumed I was the problem as I have PCOS and don't ovulate very often).

His count before the surgery was:

Sperm per ml: less than 1million
Motility: 17%
Morphology: 3%

...so not good!

6 months post surgery his results were:

Sperm per ml: 43million (I think....it was something like that anyway!)
Motility: varies between 35 and 45%
Morphology:normal.

I got pg 3 months after his surgery as well, although sadly mc'd at 11 weeks earlier this year, but OH's results show that surgery can have a dramatic positive effect. The main concern for us now is the motility, so OH is on a strict vitamin regime these days and we're keeping everything crossed.

Good luck!
