I'm a 30-year-old female and my male partner is 39. He had a vasectomy 16 years ago. Can we do sperm aspiration with ICSI?

I have been pregnant before. It was years ago, and the pregnancy was terminated. I'd like to know if it's possible to extract sperm from my fiancé and get it to me. Or, is a vasectomy reversal the only option? And after 16 years would it take?

It is possible if he has viable sperm. Contact your health care provider for more details.

IVF after sperm aspiration or possibly testicular biopsy is the option most people choose. The reversal option is available if you can find an experienced urologist. The long interval lowers success rates, but you need to discuss with the urologist for statistics.

Both a testicular aspiration or a vasectomy reversal could be options for you. Both of you would need to have a further evaluation with your physician to determine which would be the best route.
