Told there was no sperm at all — then twins

Seven years of trying had brought a hard diagnosis: azoospermia — no sperm at all in her husband’s sample. It is the kind of news that can feel like a closed door.

A testicular sperm extraction (TESE) recovered viable sperm, which were carefully frozen, and IVF followed at the clinic.

The cycle succeeded, and they welcomed healthy twins — a boy and a girl.
