    poohniki- He had varicocle repair surgery on left side last February.  Count went from zero to 2 or 3 (not million just 2 or 3 total) at the 3, 6 and 9 month followup, we moved to IVF with the frozen vials they took from a surgical testicular biopsy at the same time as the varicocele surgery. He had 2 TESEs in October that showed zero sperm.  In October he started Fertility Blend for Men, 2 pills daily, and removed all soy from his diet (he has very high testosterone). He was ingesting a lot of soy in the form of protein shakes, he has lost over 250lbs in the past 10 years and drinks shakes for lunch instead of eating. His weight leveled out (stopped losing), and he started on CoQ10 daily, He also takes multi-vitamin with lypocne, vitamin D and omega 3 daily. 
    He hadn't had any more SAs until my ER yesterday, when he wanted to try a fresh sample, we were both suprised when they came back and said  there were swimmers and they wanted him to give another sample to see if they could get more, I don't know what the counts where but there was at least 7 in there!

    So, a bit of weird, my nurse emailed me my fertilization report (at my request) and we have 6 that are still "in culture" not 5. 4 fertilized normally and 2 are "non efficient fertilization 2pb"
    I know those are unlikely to do anything but I think its good to know. I must have heard wrong on the phone this morning.
