Hi One2one, I asked about this but the consultant said it’s too risky and complicated operation to do 😢. It’s not fair but I hope they can give you a different answer x

Weve got an appointment on Friday but it's not looking good, apparantly the tubes that carry the sperm are only the breadth of a human hair in size. Plus the NHS havent carried out the procedure in the last 30 years 😣 X

I'm afraid they said it was too risky an operation to my husband too. So we had surgical sperm retrieval instead. Xx
