    The Next Step: Facing Male-Factor Infertility

    In this episode we share Phil's phone appointment with a private andrologist after azoospermia results, learning there is about a 50% chance of finding sperm via surgical retrieval and discussing procedures (PESA/TESA/micro-TESE), risks, recovery, and outcomes. We explain why we paused private treatment to pursue the NHS pathway, the change in supplements (stopping Fertilosan and considering Impril), and the emotional impact of combined male and female factor infertility (Phil's azoospermia and my PCOS).
