Hi everyone! I posted here a few times back in January when I was going through my varicocele surgery. I promised I would write back with my results and how the surgery went, so here goes.

Pre-Surgery Results:
Total Count - 5 Million
Progressive Motility - 8%
Morphology - 0%

Post-Surgery Results:
Total Count - 44 Million
Progessive Motility - 18%
Morphology - 40%

Now, I understand that my current numbers are still below the average, but there was a significant improvement! Not only did I choose to have the surgery, but I chose some lifestyle changes that I believe helped. I exercise 4 times per week (and lost 10 lbs), eat much more healthy, no soda, and I took Fertilaid Vitamins. A lot of us guys want to become a dad so much, that these changes are easy. The surgery was not bad either...a little pain for about a week, but honestly, the thought of it is much worse than the actual procedure.

I hope this can offer a little hope to someone who had or will have the surgery!

The only problem now is...what form of treatment should we do if any???.....:-)

Congrats on your successful surgery, and thanks for the update!

Did your doctor (or your wife's) give you any indication of what you should do next?

In my DH's case, we still had to move straight to IVF/ICSI after his varicocele repair, but the procedure definitely improved his count/quality.

Best of luck to you, and keep us posted!

Those results are fabulous!
