My latest sort of update

in Trouble TTC

DH went in today for his post surgery appointment (we are one month post-op!). He was diagnosed with a few small hematomas but otherwise is in good shape.

His totally amazing uro said his varicocelectomy was one of the most complicated he's done. He was confident in the major repairs that took place and is optimistic for June. 

I hate getting my hopes up, but I'm feeling really good after today for the first time in a long time. Fingers crossed!

    So glad to see this update from you sbrowns.  I know with the surgery there are no guarantees, but certainly the fact that your Uro is so optimistic is a great sign!  

    I understand not wanting to get your hopes up, but that does sound promising.  I will be keeping you in my thoughts for great #s come June.  Good luck!

    That is wonderful that the surgery was a success even though it was a difficult one.  I hope in June there is a good difference in his numbers.  Remember those numbers can continue to rise for a year so it is good to be hopeful!

    Thanks so much for the encouragement ladies! I honestly do not know what I would do without you all. It's been tough not doing treatments...I feel like I'm wasting time. I've refocused on many things that I have neglected while cycling, so it's OK Smile
