Meeting with the Urologist

Okay, so yesterday we met with the wonderful doc who will be performing DH's necessary procedure. It turns out though that he does not agree with starting with TESE and says that he is 85% positive we will find the little swimmers by just doing MESA. YEAH!!!!!!!! Here we go again we are treading up the roller coaster. Click. Click. Click. We are waiting to hear from his office today to schedule the procedure. It looks like it will be done either the last week in January or first week in February. Maybe we will home together for a few days around the Superbowl that would be sweet! :0) Anyways we are both feeling really good about all of this. I just have to keep praying and crossing my fingers and toes. What if any were anyone's experience with MESA? Did it prove successful? Was it a waste of time?

Good luck with the procedure for you and your DH. I don't know about MESA, as we did PESA, but I believe the success rates of finding sperm are pretty good.
If you ever feel like talking please feel free to e-mail me at space_dreams(at)hotmail(dot)com

I'm so glad the doc is wonderful, and that you had some positive news. We didn't do a MESA, so I don't have any advice on that. Except to always ask for lots of painkillers just in case.

Are they going to be saving and freezing the sperm if they find it? I remember we were upset because the first time the doctors found sperm, they didn't freeze it since we hadn't indicated that we wanted them to (lame!). There is usually some paperwork and sometimes blood work that they will need before they can store anything. As our urologist says, "treat that stuff like gold". Ha!

It is definitely a roller coaster. Hopefully this one continues going UP for you for a long time!

Great news!

Same thing happened to us as itsazoo... they didn't freeze sperm because we didn't specify. DH had two TESAs within three months because of that.

Good luck!
