faithfullyyours, sorry to say this..
I think it is important to seek a 2nd opinion regarding your dh's case. Angela is a embrologist and Paul is a gynae. I believe they had given you the advise based on their many experience with her IVF patients. I also know of gynae who does testicular varicose op on man which I find a little strange... However, the urologists are the ones who are specialist in the man's part so I think can go and find out more infor.

Just my 2 cents worth.
 
Sunstillshines, actually to see an urologist to check and consult TCM doctor are two of the things that we had discussed.

You said you went to Mount E to seek advice and the conclusion is that the testicles are not damaged. But is it a blockage problem?

How high is your DH's FSH? Any TCM doctor to recommend?
 
According to Angela, my DH's case is like a man going through andropause but not quite similar.

Basically, the testicles gets the feedback from the brain to produce sperms but yet the testicles can't produce sperms and that explains the high LH and FSH.
 
Babysmurf, Haha...coming soon lah... be paitence ;)

Me ah! Waiting to see dr Tan in Sept then see when I can start FET lor. My aiming is Nov or Dec.
 
faithfullyyours, no, conclusion about the high fsh after seeing the urologist. There was no blockage at all. However, one of the testicles was not working well. This could be due to the mumps that he got when he was a kid. TCM doctor said that he is like woman undergoing menopause... He is still producing soldiers now.

The tcm dr has suppressed dh's fsh and he was able to produce more soldiers. We are not seeing that tcm dr anymore as it was of no help at all after 2 years. She has a lot of success pregnancy rate. After her, I went on to see different tcm and now currently seeing dr Tan Siew Buoy.
Does your dh always dream at night?

Do find out more about your dh's case before you embark on ivf. This is the time that your dh needs a lot of encouragement. He must be undergoing a lot of stress..

Your pm is off. Pm me and I will tell you more of the urologist and the tcm.
 
Babysmurf, finally I got an op date from Dr Loh. It is on this sunday! it should be a day for celebrate (Hari Raya) but I go for op. Today I got to know that I am #6 in the queue for the lap on Hari Raya. Even op also need to queue.. I hope I can survive the starvation as I must fast the night before until my turn.

When will you be starting your first jab?
 
Sunstillshines: jia you. After that do tiao your body.

Usagi: thank you. Now enjoying my life. Lazing ard before cycling.

Hi! *Wave*
I'm starting my cycle today... on 200 Puregon & 75 Menopur. KKH, Dr Matthew Lau. 1st time on Menopur... hopefully my body react well with it, cos last time only puregon then it dun react well actually.
Anyone also starting?
 
Snoopy, I went to op because I hope to eliminate causes of bfn. Like using a scrub to scrub away the dust so that I will feel fresh.... hahaha... and have more success rate to get a BFP!
 
Hi dreambear,
I went kkh this morning for blood test after testing with clearblue digital hpt for second time. It shows 'pregnant 2-3' compared to monday's reading 'pregnant 1-2'. Will update you my results when kkh calls.
 
Sunstillshines, after your op, can go home after a few hours rest or you need to stay in? Jia you!
