TESE worked for us, too! I didn't get pregnant until our 3rd IVF cycle (my meds were adjusted as well). We used frozen sperm for attempts 1 & 2, but had a same-day TESE for cycle 3. We had two frozen embies left over from our cycles which we transferred in September. I miscarried at 8 weeks... In the course of going through the FET, we found out that our insurance would pay for 2 more fresh cycles, so we geared up for IVF #4 in April (including a same-day TESE) and are now pregnant with baby #2!
It can be a long road getting there, but ICSI is such a wonderful technology for male-factor cases.... If the urologist can just find a few sperm, you're good to go!
Please feel free to PM me as well if you'd like more info about our protocol/process. Best wishes!
