MTese success?
Did any of you have good success with a Micro Tese?
Husband (34M) SA with centrifuge confirmed azoospermia, FSH 15.5 and LH 13.9. Ultrasound said bilateral varicoceles and slight heterogeneous texture.
RE referred us to a urologist who after inspection said he couldn't feel the varicoceles so he's not sure if that is the cause but he did say my husband's testes are on the smaller side not for his height. He said he's going to do an mtese/biopsy and the embryologist from our fertility clinic will immediately check for sperm. He said if the embryologist doesn't find any sperm on that side he'll go to the next. He said that he'll also tie the varicoceles since my husband would be under anesthesia. It's a bit much to take in. My husband is kind of nervous for this. The urologist said that he's not sure what is causing my husbands azoospermia but he will investigate with the mtese. It's been 5 years of infertility. Happy that some steps are getting taken. We're finally in a position to do IVF/ICSI. I just don't want my husband to get cold feet for the surgery. The urologist didn't sound so optimistic tbh. We talked about donor sperm and due to personal reasons that's off the table for both of us. I guess I'm looking for success stories. I feel numb tbh. Why does infertility suck so bad?
