Hi all 😊 I am currently on CD1 (AF started today) of cycle #2 TTC #1. I'm interested to hear from anyone TTC when their OH has or had a variocele. My husband was diagnosed with one a long time ago in his late teens. It causes him pain from time to time, but no treatment was recommended when he was diagnosed - he was told to wait and see whether it causes him fertility issues in future, and that it would be dealt with if necessary then. I know it's still early days for us on our TTC journey, but it's always been in the back of my mind that it could cause us difficulty. I know that we are supposed to wait a year before seeking help, but I think if we aren't pregnant after about 5-6 months, I'll feel very frustrated sitting around wasting time when there's a known problem! Does anyone have experience of variocele on their TTC journey? Would love to hear from people whose partners have had them removed or who have conceived despite having them!
