Anyone had success with a varicocele procedure?

We've been trying to fall pregnant for what feels like forever. After a ridiculously long waiting list for a semen analysis we finally got the devastating news that my husband's sperm count is 'critically low' we did another 2 tests privately and unfortunately these both came back with similarly devastating results....

Please help!

I tested 5 days before my expected period almost 15 dpo. And got the negative test. Are there chances of still being pregnant? Anyone experienced something similar ?
