| We considered it but choose adoption instead. Its good option but you could also do a reversal. |

No I haven’t been drinking. Typing fast on my phone plus English is not my first language. Why are you so mean? Maybe you need a glass of smth |

| He wasn’t forced to get a vasectomy. If he had the procedure it’s because he didn’t want more kids, so good luck overcoming that. |

I was being facetious, grumpy |

| My husband didn't have a vasectomy, but he was born without a vas deferens. We've had success 2x now with 2 rounds of IVF. Even with his being a congenital issue, our fertility doctor phrased it as though we "weren't an infertile couple, just have a plumbing issue." |

How did they find out about this issue? |

He has cystic fibrosis and something crazy like 97% of men with the disease have this congenital defect. So luckily for us, we always knew about this and didn't have to struggle with months of trying before going straight to IVF. |

My husband also didn't have a vas deferens (called CAVD: congenital absence of vas deferens). He doesn't have CF but he is a CF carrier.
We did TESE at GW. He had general anesthesia and was in the operating room for about 30 minutes. The next day he said he felt sore, as if he'd been kicked, but by the 2nd day, he didn't feel anything. From that one procedure we got something like 6 vials of quality sperm. My ovarian reserve numbers were on the low-bottom end of normal, so not great but we would still have had a decent-ish shot at conceiving normally if he didn't have CAVD. I ended up doing 2 back-to-back rounds of IVF to bank embryos, and we did ICSI for his sample. I am now pregnant with my 2nd. |

| I’m the PP who mentioned ICSI. ICSI was part of our IVF process. So, I had a normal egg retrieval, and then the lab took individual sperm from my husband’s sample and “shot” them straight into each egg. That procedure is called ICSI. I think clinics almost always do ICSI when sperm is retrieved through TESE. After that, the lab let the embryos develop just like in regular IVF. |

"what is better- IVF or ICSI"
ICSI is a procedure commonly used during IVF -Intracytoplasmic sperm injection . It's where they actually pick up an individual sperm in the lab and insert it into the egg to fertilize. Some fertility clinics do this for eveyone as it usually yields a higher % of fertilized eggs. It's needed for extracted sperm samples since the sperm counts are less (think hundred or thousands of sperm vs. millions) and retrieved sperm aren't very motile and can't fertilize eggs on their own. |

| I'm still confused by OP. Who forced her husband to have a vasectomy? Who is the "her" that OP is going to ask about aspiration? |
