We embarked on our first IVF journey. Since my husband has congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens, he had to undergo a sperm extraction surgery (TESA). We were worried they wouldn't find anything but they managed to extract 4 vials of sperm. That means we are good to go for up to 4 rounds of IVF. If we don't succeed within that limit, he'll have to either undergo another surgery and see if they can find more sperm or we'll have to regroup and consider our options.

Our first IVF looked very promising! We ended up with two lovely day 5 blastocysts which were transferred on 4/10/12. We crossed our fingers and hoped for a positive pregnancy test.
