Infertility

I know we are extremely fortunate that there is the TURED surgery to remove the blockage, and I am thankful for that. I have read that pregnancy rates after the surgery for men with the blockage go up 30%, which is basically the same average that couples without obstacles have ...which is GREAT news.
Would like to hear from any women that have had husband go through this or are going through it now -- just praying for a little miracle next year.
Husband's surgery is scheduled for Jan. 11th, so my fingers, legs, toes and arms will all be crossed that this surgery is all we need to have in order to get pregnant, FINALLY.

TURED, trans urethral resection of ejaculatory duct -- ANYONE?

So, my husband and I have been seriously TTC for about a year and a half, using OP strips every month for that long, we have never done anything to prevent a pregnancy in the last 5 years of us being together and have had nothing happen. I have an 8 year old son from a previous marriage, so I knew the problem was with my hubby.
He has had semen analysis testing done over the past year, every test shows that my husband's volume is extremely low, with only a little sperm, every test. All of his semen analysis tests have come back with the same result of "<1"...like, how is that even possible? Anyway, our urologist prescribed my husband Clomid after the third SA, which was 4 months ago, to improve testosterone levels, which, God willing, will raise the sperm levels, as well.
Urologist finally did a trans rectal ultrasound in September which showed a blockage in his ejaculatory duct -- eureka! He's has a cyst blocking all his swimmers from coming out...says this is most likely genetic since husband has always had low volume since puberty. Such a relief.
