Vent away!
How was your RE consult?
DH and I took the approach that infertility was OUR issue. And yes, while he had to have the TESE, I also had to have injections and an ER... We both tackled everything together. My guy is my hero for going through 3 TESEs... He had some scar tissue and pain after the first one, and to ask him to do it again really took a lot. After we had our first daughter, we weren't sure if we'd even go through IVF again, but after a miscarriage, we gave it one last go last April and got pregnant with DD #2.
You both should find a reproductive urologist that you're comfortable with who can answer his questions about the TESE. For my guy, he had to lay low for a couple of days, but he did not have lasting effects from his procedures. Fear of the unknown is tough, though...
