varicocele repairs.....

So prior to getting pregnant, the hobby and I had met again with the urologist for her opinions on a varicocele repair. She doesn't necessarily believe that the sperm will improve significantly, but she does think it will keep it from getting worse. We met with her during our last IVF (prior to finding out it worked) because my RE, hubby, and I weren't too hopeful about the cycle. We went ahead and scheduled the repair for TODAY with the plans for me to get on hubby's insurance and start fertility treatments at a new clinic (this one is rated much higher than the other one).

Well, the big day came up fast. I can't believe its been about 5 months since we scheduled this! We decided to proceed with the surgery even though our last IVF worked.... because honestly... the hubby's sperm needs all the help it can get!
My fear us that the next time we are ready for IVF ... he wouldn't have any sperm left!

So that's where we are now. Hubby is currently in the OR and I am here in the waiting room. This is going to be the longest two hours ever!!

Have any of you blogger's hubbys dealt with varicocele repairs? What was your experience like? How was the recovery? Did you see any improvement in the sperm?

Also- just realized that my post about the baby and ultrasound never uploaded! The ultrasound went great.... but I'll update that tomorrow!!!! :-)
