TESE Success
Hi Ladies!.....and Gents!
I wanted to extend my gratitude to Futuremom and Bigapple77. you guys made me feel so much better!! If anyone else has had success with TESE...please do tell!! Not necessarily a BFP, but even if you've gotten as far as a successful fertilization. I'd love to hear some stories to get my optimistic juices flowing, and I'm sure there are others out there who might need a little encouragement as well. TESE seems so scary...like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Hi! We just went through IVF with ICSI and TESE. My DH had 0 counts on his SAs. On the day of ER, they did the TESE part first, then did my ER. DH's doctor came and talked to me after the TESE. The doctor was a little surprised because they didn't find a lot of sperm. Luckily they did find enough for what we needed. Of the 20 eggs they retrieved, 18 were mature and 13 fertilized! So, we had a very successful experience, and now I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant! Feel free to PM me with any questions!
Good luck!

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!

What is TESE? Never heard of it before. Sorry, had to come in and ask.
