We can try again !!
Well yesterday we saw the R.E at 2pm, first we talked about the Hysteroscopy findings. Every thing was normal except they found I had a stricture of the cervix. This is why both transfers have been so long and painful and the cycles eventually a bust.
He did a mock transfer on me and it went fine, I didn’t feel a thing. I did bleed a little afterwards but nothing much. He said that now the cervix had been dilated we shouldn’t have any more problems, but there is a chance that the stricture might grow back.
He asked me when I wanted to proceed and I said straight away. He wants me to start the utergestrone straight away and take it for 10 days. Then I should get my period. I have an appointment on the 2nd of May and transfer should be between the 6th and 9th of May.
Afterwards we had an hour wait for our 3.30pm appointment with the Urologist.
It felt like forever. All the while we were both bracing our selves for him to say there was no point looking for sperm. My DH kept joking that he hoped that’s what he did say, as he doesn’t want to go under the knife again.
We were pleased when the hour wait was up and the Dr said we could try again. He said there was every chance we could find sperm but every chance we wouldn’t. He said it would be like digging for gold in an old sealed mine..Lol. I’ll go for any odds I can get. The appiontment was fairly amusing considering. First my husband got up on the bed to be examined and all his cash fell onto the floor. The Dr thanked us for the tip and said he was very greatful. Then as we were leaving and he was shaking my husbands hand he said "you have my phone"? My husbands replied saying it was definatly his. Then the Dr checked his pocket and pulled out his phone which was exactly the same. So then they bonded over there brilliant fancey phones. I don't know, boys and there toys. Or should I say Men and ther Urologist!
Anyway, back to subject. Obviously if we get lucky with the last 2 embryos we won’t be doing another TESE just yet. But I find it easier to think 1 step ahead of the plan it helps me avoid any despair at this whole nightmare process.
If this cycle is a bust we will wait until August to do the next TESE. But here’s hoping they will not need to mess with my DH’s bits for a long while yet.

Thank you for sharing your story.
Me and my DH are getting ready to do a TESE/IVF cycle in Sept. We have our initial meeting with a Uroligist and IVF specialist in June. I really appreciate you sharing your what you are going through. It makes it a lot less scary for me! Good luck with your next transfer. I will be sending positive thoughts to you... from across the world!
